TASMAC denies plans for home delivery of liquor

In response to recent media reports,  Tamil Nadu state-run Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) clarified that it had no plans to initiate home delivery of liquor through online food delivery platforms.

 In a statement, the corporation emphasised, "There are no plans to sell liquor door-to-door through online distribution companies. The TASMAC management has no plans to embark on such a new venture." The statement also dispelled rumours about introducing alcoholic beverages in tetra packets, in Tamil Nadu.

Contrary to TASMAC's stance, as per the reports, several other states, including  Delhi, Karnataka, Haryana, Punjab, Goa, and Kerala, are reportedly exploring pilot projects to sell low alcohol drinks through platforms like Swiggy, BigBasket, and Zomato.
