Bevco managing director Harshita Attaluri said six of Bevco’s shops earned more than Rs 1 crore in sales, with the Manorama super premium shop alone earning Rs 67 lakh, five times more than its sales last year.

From record-breaking festival days to steady year-round growth, Bevco’s bottom line makes one thing clear — when Kerala celebrates, its liquor counters celebrate louder.
