THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The shortage of ordinary man’s fave brand Jawan rum will be over shortly. Its manufacture Travancore Sugars has started steps to increase its production by April.

The tender will be called soon to install one more bottling line. The expense is about Rs One Crore. Currently, there are three bottling lines and 6000 cases of rum are produced every day. Once the new bottling unit opens, the production will increase to 8000 cases per day.

The brand is popular among people due to its credibility as a government product and due to its cheap rate. But the government were not able to send loads to all districts according to the requirement.
