Delhi Election Result 2025 LIVE: Launching a scathing attack at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the people of Delhi that the Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) report will be presented in the first assembly session.
A CAG report revealed that irregularities in Delhi's excise policy led to a revenue loss of ₹2,026 crore.
The report cited deviations from policy objectives, a lack of transparency in pricing, and unpenalized licensing violations.
Specifically, the previous Delhi government's failure to re-tender surrendered licenses resulted in a loss of ₹890 crore, and exemptions for zonal licenses caused a loss of ₹941 crore.
The audit also noted the excise department relied on post-sale stock reconciliation instead of barcode scanning for tracking liquor sales, compromising data accuracy.
