Chandigarh Administration Issues New Tender for Liquor Track and Trace System

The Chandigarh Administration has issued a fresh tender for implementing a track and trace system for liquor in the region. This move follows the cancellation of a previous tender due to a lack of qualified bids. The new system is intended to enhance monitoring and control over the liquor supply chain, helping to prevent tax evasion and ensure product authenticity. The system will allow real-time tracking of liquor bottles from production to sale, providing a more transparent and accountable process within the industry. The administration is aiming to tighten regulations and improve compliance, particularly in the face of ongoing issues related to counterfeit and untaxed alcohol in the market.

This initiative is part of broader efforts to curb illegal activities and protect revenue, which is critical for maintaining public trust and ensuring the safe distribution of alcohol. The track and trace system is expected to significantly reduce the incidence of illegal alcohol sales, enhance regulatory oversight, and ultimately provide better protection for consumers.

The administration has invited bids from qualified technology providers capable of delivering a robust solution that meets the specified requirements. The new tender reflects the administration's commitment to enhancing the state's regulatory framework and ensuring the integrity of the liquor industry.
