BENGALURU: Over-regulation and pricing in the sugarcane industry, erratic growth in the alcohol and beverage industry and lack of uniformity of licences in the tourism industry — these were some of the findings of a study conducted in Karnataka.
The study — An Integrated Value Chain Approach to Ease of Doing Business: A Case Study of Sugar, Alco-Bev, and Tourism — conducted by the Pahle India Foundation, was released in the city on Monday.
It found that with respect to alcohol, duties have grown at CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 6 per cent since 2013. “The year-on-year growth has become more erratic. This presents formidable problem for business planning and continuity. Close to 44 procedures and approvals are needed for production and movement of alcohol,” the study pointed out.
