Mizoram allows limited sale of liquor

The Mizoram government passed the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Amendment Bill, 2025, during the assembly session on Tuesday.

The amendment allows for the processing of wine and beer from locally harvested fruits such as grapes, dragon fruit, guava, amla and banana while maintaining the ban on importing beer, liquor and wine from outside the state.

Under the new provisions, tourists and foreign dignitaries with permission from the Excise Commissioner will be allowed to import IMFL. Additionally, if they require extra bottles, they may procure them from liquor seized by the Excise Commissioner’s Office.

Furthermore, individuals advised by medical practitioners to consume alcohol for health reasons will be issued red cards, allowing them to purchase the spirit from the Excise Commissioner's Office.
