NEW DELHI - The Indian government has argued the airport sale of nicotine pouches is a "substantive violation" of drug laws and a "serious public health risk", seeking to throw out Adani Group's bid to overturn an official finding that it broke the law by selling the unlicensed products at Mumbai's airport.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has also asserted in court that the airport, one of the country's busiest, is on Indian soil, dismissing Adani's argument that Indian law does not apply to nicotine pouches imported and stored in customs warehouses and sold only to departing international passengers.
