Robust tourism helps excise dept boost revenue by 45% since 2022

Panaji : Goa's excise department has seen a significant jump in revenue, with a 45% increase over the last four financial years. The department raked in Rs 947.9 crore in 2024-25, as against Rs 650 crore in 2021-22. This increase is attributed to robust tourist footfalls and enforcement by the department. Goa's excise collection shot up to Rs 865 crore in 2022-23 due to several measures implemented by the excise department. In 2023-24, the department's revenue increased to Rs 900.2 crore. Goa's excise revenue is largely driven by tourists who either purchase alcohol from retail stores or consume liquor at restaurants and hotels. Alcohol sales are also driven by events in the state. Data shared with the legislative assembly also shows that Rs 4.1 crore is owed to the department by 242 retail outlets, bars and alcohol manufacturers since 2018. Of the 242 defaulters, most are from Tiswadi and Salcete talukas. While some of the licence holders have come forward and cleared their dues, the department has been forced to issue notices to most of the excise licence holders to recover what is owed. Those outlets which have ignored notices and reminders to pay the annual audit fees risk having their licences being cancelledwith the department already proposing to cancel some licences">, said officials. In the Goa budget 2023-24, the excise duty on high-end liquor was reduced and duty on other categories of Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) was marginally increased to shore up revenues. The department said that while no tax refund or waiver has been granted under the Excise Duty Act, applicants have been offered an adjustment of excise duty only in cases where permits are cancelled and the said excise duty paid for liquor goods in these cancelled permits are adjusted in their future permits.

Nashik airport records 56% rise in passenger traffic in April-June period in 2025-26 financial year

Nashik: The Nashik airport, managed by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), recorded a 56% rise in air passenger traffic in the April-June period of the 2025-26 financial year. The airport saw 1.06 lakh flyers in this period, compared to 67,694 passengers during the same period of 2024-25 financial year, revealeds the data provided by the airport authority. This is the first time that passenger traffic at the Nashik airport crossed the 1lakh mark in the first quarter of any financial year. The rise in passenger traffic is due to improved air connectivity with more cities. Passenger footfall at the airport has increased steadily over the past year due to positive responses from air passengers. At present, a private airline operates flights from the Nashik airport to six destinations: Delhi, Goa, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Indore. The airline is also planning to start flights from Nashik to Kolkata in the coming months. Due to higher occupancy, the airline started 232-seater Airbus A321 flights on the Nashik-Delhi and Nashik-Bengaluru routes from March 30. Previously, the airline operated 180-seater Airbus A320 flights on these routes. Deploying larger Airbus aircraft on the Nashik to Delhi and Bengaluru routes also led to a rise in passenger traffic in the April-June period of the current financial year, said sources. In the 2024-25 financial year, the Nashik airport recorded a footfall of 3.4 lakh passengers, compared to 2.4 lakh passengers during the previous financial year (2023-24). Total passenger footfall at the airport in 2022-23 was recorded at 1.07 lakh passengers. Ashish Nahar, the president of the Nashik Industries and Manufacturers' Association (Nima), said the airport has huge potential for air service because of the various industrial, business, and tourism potentials of Nashik. The defence PSU HAL, various central govt projects, and major multinational companies have their bases in Nashik. Apart from the major religious places, Nashik is also known as the wine capital of the country as it houses the maximum number of wineries. Moreover, Nashik is one of the four places in the country where the Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years. Hence, the airport has huge potential, said Ashish Nahar. "Moreover, the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela is also being held between 2026 and 2028 in Nashik, and passenger traffic will increase significantly at the Nashik airport during the mega religious event. We are also pursuing the state govt for the expansion of the Nashik airport," added Nahar. Manish Rawal, the chairman of Nima's aviation committee, said the occupancy in all the flights from Nashik is around 90% on average. Most of the time, the occupancy in 232-seater Airbus A321 flights on the Nashik-Delhi and Nashik-Bengaluru routes is 100%. "There is a need for a second daily Nashik-Delhi flight considering the footfall of passengers," added Rawal, who is also a vice-president of Nima.
