The Uttar Pradesh government has to reduce the limit of wastage in the process of re-distillation of plain and spiced country liquor, a senior UP government official said here on Saturday.
In a statement issued here, Sanjay R Bhoosreddy, Principal Secretary Excise, said, "In view of the fact that on account of new technology based plant/machinery being used for manufacture of alcohol, ENA (extra-neutral alcohol) and the amount of wastage being minimum, it has been decided to reduce the limit of wastage as provided earlier in the process of re-distillation with a view to enhance the revenue receipts."
Bhoosreddy also said, "Re-distillation is a process in which expired liquor or unsold liquor goes back to the factory. Whenever re-distillation is done, there are losses. Earlier the permissible losses were 1.5 per cent and 2 per cent of the volume sent for re-distillation."
