Whiskey, scotch to get cheaper by ₹300/bottle after India-UK FTA
India's landmark free trade agreement with the UK will cut import duties on whisky and gin from 150% to 75%, and eventually to 40% over 10 years. While hailed as a breakthrough for the liquor industry, experts say the actual price drop for consumers may be modest, limited to ₹300/bottle, due to high state-level taxes that remain unchanged.
