New excise policy: Liquor to get costlier in Gurugram, Faridabad

The Haryana government has introduced its new Excise Policy for 2025-27, which is set to increase liquor prices across the state, especially in urban centers like Gurugram and Faridabad, due to revised ex-distillery prices and increased license fees. The policy, effective from June 12, 2025, until March 31, 2027, is part of the state’s efforts to boost revenue, reduce the illegal liquor trade, and promote responsible drinking, all while balancing economic goals with social concerns.
