Delhi Excise Department Revenue: The Excise Department of Delhi Government has earned huge income from tax on liquor in the first quarter (April-June) of the financial year.
According to the information, the Excise Department has recorded a revenue of about Rs 1,038 crore during April to June in the financial year 2026-27, which is 17% more than the same period last year. Officials say that a major reason for this jump in revenue is the greater availability of different brands of liquor in government shops this year. Last year the earning figure was Rs 885 crore.
What is the total target of revenue collection?
Regarding this, an official said, “Excise revenue has increased by about 17% in the current quarter of this year and has reached Rs 1,038 crore, whereas it was Rs 885 crore in the same period last year.”
Officials say that against the total revenue collection of about Rs 7,148 crore in 2025-26, the target of total excise revenue for 2026-27 has been fixed at Rs 7,200 crore. He hopes that by increasing the number of registered brands, customers will get more choices at stores and this will help Delhi regain the market share it has lost over the years. Let us tell you that the share of national and international brands on government contracts in Delhi has increased to 54%, which was only 24% last year.
How did the earnings increase?
Earlier, due to non-availability of selected brands in Delhi, customers used to go to Noida and Gurugram. Due to more choice of liquor there and better price Buyers were leaving the capital and going there.
Last year, the pace of registration had slowed down due to uncertainty regarding the implementation of the policy, but now with the government’s decision to extend the excise policy for one more year, the uncertainty in the market has ended and companies have also increased the pace of registration of their brands. This has again given a boost to the efforts to increase the variety of liquor in the retail market of Delhi.
All four government agencies of Delhi (DSSIDC, DTTDC, DSCSC and DCCWS) have opened many big modern walk-in stores, where customers can easily get liquor of many premium brands.
