<h1>Retail liquor prices to rise as Uttar Pradesh raises licence fees, reforms MRP and launches an excise export policy.</h1> The excise policy raises the minimum guaranteed revenue (MGR)/licence fee for retail liquor shops and bhang shops, adjusts special additional excise duty on IMFL, and reforms MRP by rounding most country liquor and UPML to the next multiple of Rs 10 while introducing a new 100 ml UPML pack; it also creates a standalone excise export policy to promote distilling and logistics investment and requires retail allotments primarily by renewal with district collectors authorised to approve relocations.
