Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

Tamil Nadu’s state-run TASMAC is introducing online liquor ordering, with customers able to view prices and live stock, pay digitally and collect bottles from a chosen outlet using a QR code. There will be no home delivery. The Hindu reports that workers received software-update instructions and that the system is being introduced to curb overcharging and widen access to product information. Customers aged 21 and above can use the portal, according to reports cited by Livemint. Orders can be placed in Tamil or English, with outlets searchable by location, shop number or district. The Hindu reports that TASMAC generates around Rs 150 crore in daily liquor sales. The government says age checks will continue at collection points.
