TASMAC shop numbers and Elite shops
Why every shop has a number, what makes a shop Elite, and what “not reporting” means.
TASMAC identifies every retail shop by a number. There are about 4,850 across Tamil Nadu’s 38 districts. The number is what TASMAC’s own systems use for stock, ordering and complaints, so it’s worth knowing for the shop you use.
Where you’ll see it
- On TASMAC’s online ordering pages, where you choose a shop before adding bottles.
- In Drinkit.tn, as #488 and so on, at the top of every shop page. You can also type a shop number into search.
Regular and Elite shops
Some TASMAC outlets are Elite shops. They’re often in malls or busier areas, and carry a wider range, including more imported bottles. The MRP of a given bottle is the same in both. Elite shops simply stock bottles a regular shop may not.
On the map in Drinkit.tn you can filter to All, Regular or Elite shops.
When a shop shows “not reporting”
On any day, roughly one shop in five doesn’t send its stock to TASMAC’s system. That doesn’t mean it’s closed or empty. We just can’t see its shelf.
