Liquor Price in Rajasthan

Beer in Rajasthan has generally seen smaller duty escalations than premium and imported spirits under recent policy revisions, according to RSBCL data, keeping it comparatively more price-stable than the premium ... whisky and imported spirit segments.

Brandy in Rajasthan is priced within the same MRP-fixed structure as other spirits, sold through licensed retail shops statewide. IMFL/BII (Bottled in India) duty slabs were rationalised under the April ... 2026 amendment, combining fixed and ad-valorem components.

Gin has moved well beyond the basic London Dry style that used to dominate Indian shelves, and Rajasthan now carries a growing mix of classic and craft options. Contemporary Indian ... craft gins, often built around local botanicals, generally sit in the mid to premium band, above standard London Dry but below most imported labels, and pricing here is also shaped by RSBCL's fixed Maximum Retail Price system, alongside a growing craft spirits scene centred on Jaipur's Tonk Road and C-Scheme areas. Imported gins, particularly well known international brands, carry the steepest prices because of added import duty. If you're new to the category, standard London Dry gin remains the most affordable entry point before stepping up to flavoured or craft options.

Rum spans the usual range in Rajasthan from budget to premium and spiced labels, sold under the RSBCL-fixed MRP. Rajasthan's alcohol market is predominantly IMFL-driven by volume, with rum forming ... a significant part of that base.

Tequila remains a smaller, largely imported category in Rajasthan, and pricing reflects that: almost every bottle on the shelf carries import duty on top of the manufacturer's price, which is ... why even entry-level blanco tequila usually costs more than a comparable domestic whisky or rum. Reposado and añejo variants, aged in oak barrels, sit further up the price ladder than blanco because of the longer ageing process, and where a bottle lands within that range is also influenced by RSBCL's fixed Maximum Retail Price system, alongside a growing craft spirits scene centred on Jaipur's Tonk Road and C-Scheme areas. Demand has grown steadily among younger, urban drinkers in recent years, though selection is still concentrated in bigger cities and premium retail outlets.

Vodka in Rajasthan, including flavoured variants, follows the same fixed-MRP structure as other spirits. Jaipur's growing craft and premium bar scene has expanded availability of premium and imported vodka labels ... beyond what's typically found in smaller cities.

Whisky is Rajasthan's largest liquor category, and premium and imported whisky brands have seen sharper duty escalations than budget IMFL and beer in recent revisions. The April 2026 amendment rationalised ... IMFL and Bottled-in-India duty slabs into fixed plus ad-valorem components, which particularly affects how premium whisky brands are priced.

Rajasthan Made Liquor and country liquor saw a 5 percent hike in wholesale ex-distillery prices (EDP) under the April 2026 amendment, alongside a minimum 25 percent uplift requirement from RSGSM ... and RML application fees based on reserve price, with a Rs 15 per bulk litre penalty for licensees falling short of their lifting quota.

Beyond the major categories, Rajasthan liquor shops typically stock a smaller range of liqueurs, ready-to-drink (RTD) mixes, and cordials that don't fit neatly into whisky, rum, vodka, or beer. RTDs ... in particular have grown quickly in the mid-strength, flavoured segment aimed at casual drinkers, and are usually priced closer to beer than to spirits per serving. Liqueurs such as coffee, herbal, or fruit based options tend to sit in the mid-price range, with the exact number shaped as much by RSBCL's fixed Maximum Retail Price system, alongside a growing craft spirits scene centred on Jaipur's Tonk Road and C-Scheme areas as by alcohol content. As with other categories, checking the specific brand and size against a shop's current stock is the most reliable way to confirm price.
