The Tamil Nadu government plans to increase the price of each liquor bottle by 10 rupees under a new practice called 'Environmental and Social Welfare Solution' to properly address the recycling of empty liquor bottles and protect nature.
Consumers will pay 10 rupees extra over the selling price (MRP), and if they return the empty bottles to TASMAC stores, the 10 rupees deposit will be immediately refunded.
Reports indicate that this scheme will come into effect immediately across the state once the ongoing by-election work is completed.
