Uttar Pradesh is rewriting the rules of excise management, with its policy drawing admirers from across India. Record-breaking revenue growth has put UP on the map, prompting excise commissioners from Karnataka, Maharashtra, MP, Odisha, Punjab, Jharkhand, and Himachal to visit and learn.
At the heart of this success is a policy emphasizing revenue maximization alongside transparency and consumer protection. Advanced tech like digital monitoring from production to sale has slashed illegal activities and graft. During their tours, officials held detailed sessions with UP’s team, scrutinizing e-governance tools and licensing processes that ensure steady fiscal gains.
Hands-on inspections of distilleries and retail outlets highlighted innovations such as e-lotteries for fair shop allocation and barcode-driven inventory control. Delegates from bigger states openly admired how these steps deliver results without compromising integrity. Many are now weighing adaptations for their own systems.
This national buzz underscores UP’s leadership in fiscal innovation. As other states take notes, UP’s model stands as proof that smart policy can unlock untapped potential in a tricky sector.
