Court dismisses Adani's claim that duty-free shops are exempt from local laws

An Indian court ruled that goods sold at duty-free shops, including Adani Group’s airport sales of nicotine pouches, are subject to domestic laws. The court rejected Adani’s argument that such sales are outside Indian jurisdiction. Authorities deem nicotine pouches illegal and unapproved; Adani can now present its case to Indian drug regulators for further consideration.
