The Himachal Pradesh government has invited bids for a single agency to manage and revive its state-run lottery, aiming to boost revenues.
The Himachal Pradesh administration announced that it will appoint a sole commercial partner to operate the state lottery, which has been dormant for several years.
The tender notice seeks a single agent capable of handling ticket printing, distribution and sales across the state, with the objective of generating additional non‑tax revenue for the government.
Officials indicated that reviving the lottery is part of a broader effort to diversify the state's income sources, especially as traditional fiscal streams face pressure.
The government expects the selected agency to bring modern technology and marketing expertise to attract a wider player base, though no specific timelines or financial details were disclosed.
Stakeholders are advised to submit proposals as per the guidelines issued by the Himachal Pradesh Department of Revenue.
