New Delhi: An Indian court has ruled that goods sold at duty-free shops are not immune from domestic laws, dealing a blow to the Adani Group's airport sales of nicotine pouches, which New Delhi calls illegal and regards as drugs.
In a case widely seen as setting a precedent on duty-free sales, Adani in April challenged Indian authorities who said its Mumbai international airport shops illegally stocked and sold nicotine pouches, one of the world's fastest-growing nicotine products, which remain unapproved in India.
