A recent study by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) concludes that the alcohol prohibition in Bihar has been ineffective and recommends lifting the ban to support state growth and increase capital spending.

According to the research, the prohibition has failed to curb crime rates and has instead resulted in a rise in illicit activities. The study suggests that abolishing the ban would allow the state to generate tax revenue that could be redirected toward funding development work.
