Summary:
In this process, only one country-made and two Indian-made foreign liquor shops found new owners. INDORE: The excise department will invite e-tenders for 33 liquor shops out of total 177 in the district after the existing contractors showed disinterest in renewing their licence due to poor sale. "We have invited e-tenders for remaining 33 liquor shops. On January 24, the authority had given a week-long time to submit the liquor licence renewal applications after as per the condition; the local office successfully achieved its 70 per cent target. All the e-tenders, received on or above the reserved price for the liquor shops, will be sent to the district collector for awarding the licence to the highest bidder and those e-tenders falling below the reserved price will be sent to the state government, which will take decision on them, he added..
