Liquor exports are on a high, led by a 26 percent rise in whiskey shipments in the first half of 2024, complementing the strong performance of Indian-made smartphones and electronics.
A Moneycontrol analysis of commerce ministry data shows that India shipped spirits worth $78.5 million in the first six months of 2024. Blended whiskey, which accounts for half of the total whiskey exports, jumped 37 percent, and exporters are now aiming to grow the market for Indian-made single malt. Premium whiskey exports almost doubled to $6.3 million in the six months to June 30 from a year earlier.

The first time I flew into India (Delhi), I was surprised to see so many better-dressed (Indian) passengers from my flight literally running to the duty-free and buying shopping carts full of foreign whiskey; Johnny Walker, Dimple, Laphroaig, JD, Wild Turkey, etc. It puzzled me because I thought alcohol was legal there, so why the rush? It turned out the only place you can buy non-Indian-made liquor is by-the-drink in the bars of the tourist hotels (a shot of Johnny Walker Blue was $20 USD equivalent in my hotel bar). The package stores can only sell Indian-made hootch.
And when I bought a bottle of the local stuff and tasted it, I realized why all those guys were so keen on taking taking advantage of the duty-free to stock up.
