Tasmac Holiday List 2026 Tamilnadu

Tasmac Holiday List 2026 Tamilnadu: TASMAC Holidays 2026: Liquor Shops to Remain Closed for 8 Days. TASMAC is one of the biggest sources of revenue for the Tamil Nadu government. Every year, TASMAC shops are given holidays on only a limited number of days. For 2026, the government has officially announced the TASMAC holiday list.

According to the announcement, TASMAC liquor shops will remain closed for 8 days in 2026. This rule will apply to all TASMAC outlets across Tamil Nadu. At present, there are 4,829 TASMAC shops operating in the state. All these shops are fully managed by the Tamil Nadu government. On average, liquor sales bring in around ₹100 crore per day.

During weekends, sales usually increase. Daily revenue can rise to ₹120–150 crore on Saturdays and Sundays. Sales also go up during major festivals.

The government often sets higher sales targets during festivals like Pongal, Diwali, and New Year. During the last Diwali season, liquor sales crossed ₹790 crore. The Madurai region recorded higher sales than Chennai, with around ₹170 crore.

Even during natural disasters such as heavy rain, floods, or storms, TASMAC shops usually remain open. Because of this, the government allows only 8 holidays per year for TASMAC. These limited closures help maintain steady revenue for the state.
