Telangana Completes Liquor Store Allocation, Luck Strikes Some
Hyderabad, India – October 28, 2025 – The allocation of liquor store licenses in Telangana has concluded, with district collectors conducting lottery draws on Monday. A total of 95,137 applications were received for 2,620 available shops.
However, 19 stores received single-digit application numbers, prompting officials to issue a second notification, which was issued on Tuesday. A second lottery draw will be held on November 3 for those 19 locations. Successful applicants will be permitted to sell liquor from November 2025 through October 2027.
While luck smiled on many, others were less fortunate. In Khammam, an RMP (Registered Medical Practitioner) saw their fortunes change dramatically. After investing 3 lakh (approximately $3,600 USD) and submitting only one application, they won a liquor store license in the lottery. According to a report a local news channel, the individual was overwhelmed with joy, believing they had been blessed by God. District Collector Anudeep officially handed over the allocation letter.
Similar stories emerged in other parts of the state. In Karimnagar, an individual who submitted a single application out of 34 total, was awarded the license, leading to tears of happiness.
