Greater Than Gin is broadening its presence by introducing 180ml miniature bottles in six more locations, which include Pune, Assam, Meghalaya, Mumbai, Puducherry, and Karnataka.
The GT Minis provide consumers with a convenient chance to sample the product without the requirement of purchasing a full-sized bottle.
This is especially advantageous for the brand as the gin market remains relatively niche within the liquor industry, and the introduction of 180ml bottles is intended to allure new customers.
Moreover, the Minis will not only be available in an expanded array of retail locations but will also be stocked in various dive bars.
“India is a unique market where the 180ml is the largest selling SKU across the spirits segment. As a craft player, while it is challenging for us to find the bandwidth to take on a task of this magnitude, we have a larger commitment to spreading the culture of quality gin as far and wide as possible. The 180ml is poised to take us to many more new consumers, helping us grow the overall Gin category.” said Anand Virmani, Co-Founder of NAO Spirits.
Founded in 2017, Greater Than Gin is an innovative and renowned craft London dry gin that played a pivotal role in sparking the gin trend in India.
Presently, Greater Than Gin is available in 11 states and 3 union territories across India, and it is also distributed in 11 other countries globally, with ongoing expansion efforts.

Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) plans to introduce a range of premium beer brands, including Bira, Geist, Godfather, and Thunderbolt, across all its retail locations.
For years, beer enthusiasts in Tamil Nadu have voiced their dissatisfaction over the limited options available. However, Tasmac is set to address this issue by procuring beer, including pint-sized cans and bottles, from out-of-state sources for the first time.
Until recently, Tasmac had restricted the sale of beer in Tamil Nadu to brands with local breweries, even though imported beer was permitted.
At the moment, Tasmac sources 35 different beer varieties from Accord Distillers and Breweries, United Breweries, SNJ Breweries, and Kals Breweries. However, the SOM Group, based in Madhya Pradesh, has established a brewery in Gummidipoondi and is gearing up to supply fresh selections, including Hunter, Woodpecker, and Powercool.
Although these brands will be accessible starting in November, the ones obtained from other states are anticipated to be stocked on retail shelves by December.
Tasmac procurement officials have verified that these beer varieties will be accessible at all outlets, without any restrictions to exclusive shops.
“The intention is to make more varieties available,” said an official on condition of anonymity. Tasmac had recently introduced 100% barley-based beer from SNJ Group.
Tasmac is also contemplating the launch of new beers with lower alcohol content.
Authorities are currently in negotiations with suppliers to ensure the availability of these products before the arrival of the next summer season.
The supplier will furnish the outlet with a chiller for the exclusive storage of fresh beer. Unlike standard beer, fresh beer does not undergo pasteurization, resulting in a shelf life of 90 days, whereas regular beer can be stored for 180 days.
Fresh beer contains 4% alcohol content, which is lower than the 8% alcohol content found in strong beer varieties. Lager beer, on the other hand, has a 7% alcohol content.

The application offers authenticated ONDC data and valuable insights into the ecosystem, along with incorporating real-time updates and interactive elements like videos and frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Launched in 2021, ONDC is a seller network designed to ensure the accessibility of e-commerce to every part of India. Its primary goal is to establish open standards for all aspects of digital commerce, enabling buyers and sellers to conduct transactions through any compatible app or service.
Recently, ONDC has ventured into skill-based services, including appliance repair and teaching assistance, thereby broadening its existing array of offerings that already encompass food, grocery delivery, and mobility services.
Furthermore, it is reported to be preparing for the official launch of its cab services program in Kolkata, in collaboration with the West Bengal government’s Yatri Sathi app. Since its pilot launch in July, the program has been achieving an average of more than 5,000 rides daily, with an impressive user base of over 365,000 registered users and 18,600 registered driver partners.
