Tasmac scraps ‘special order’ liquor system

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation has temporarily scrapped the ‘special order’ system, which allowed Tasmac district managers to place orders from distilleries or breweries based on stock availability in its depots or godowns rather than data from retail outlets on the sale of liquor varieties. Tasmac sources said it has now been decided to procure liquor based on actual sales recorded in retail outlets. A senior Tasmac official told TNIE that the organisation buys liquor from 11 Indian Made Foreign Liquor units, seven beer manufacturers, and one winery. In this system, certain liquor brands were frequently ordered and forcibly stocked in retail shops even if the demand for those varieties was poor among consumers.
