Imported scotch whiskey is all set to get more affordable in Maharashtra, as the state government has slashed excise duty on the particular class of liquor by 50 per cent. With the latest revision in excise duties, imported scotch whiskey’s price will come on par with that in other states, according to a senior official. Currently, the Maharashtra government earns revenue of about Rs 100 crore from the sale of imported scotch annually.
