The global appetite for Indian spirits is rising, creating a promising growth avenue for domestic liquor companies. As part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the Agricultural and Processed Food Export Development Authority (APEDA) aims to boost the export of Indian alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, targeting $1 billion in revenue in the coming years.
Currently, India ranks 40th globally in alcoholic beverage exports, but government-backed efforts may help improve this position significantly.
