The nationwide lockdown for more than 2 months has led all businesses, shops, and other industries to be shut indefinitely. The alcohol industry especially, had taken a big hit since the lockdown measures were implemented, owing to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Even though there are some states where alcohol is still being sold in stores, the long queues make it quite a risky affair. However, it finally seems that the good times are here, as Amazon India has secured clearance to deliver alcohol in West Bengal, according to a report by Reuters. Reuters has come across a document that signals the e-commerce giant’s entry in delivering alcohol to people’s homes. Amazon’s interest in delivering alcohol in West Bengal marks a bold move to make inroads into a market that is worth $27.2 billion, according to estimates by IWSR Drinks Market Analysis, as reported by NDTV.
The notice said that Alibaba-backed (BABA.N) Indian grocery venture BigBasket has also won approval to deliver alcohol in the state.
