→Sales and licensing rules tightened under new excise policy
Change
Odisha prohibited liquor sales and delivery near the Jagannath Temple and restricted new rural liquor licences under its new excise policy.
Why it matters
The policy blocks expansion of retail outlets in rural areas and imposes additional operational constraints on licensed vendors.
Implications
- → Retailers cannot operate in restricted zones — revenue loss likely
- → New licences limited — expansion plans constrained
