India's Scotch Import Probe
India's probe into Scotch imports from Britain is rattling liquor majors, per Reuters. The move follows allegations of tax evasion and regulatory violations in the import chain.
The investigation targets major firms including Diageo and Beam Suntory, with officials citing discrepancies in licensing and duty payments. Bloomberg reports that these companies are now preparing legal defenses.
Local distilleries in Pipraich, a key hub for domestic alcohol production, are voicing concern over potential supply chain disruptions and increased regulatory scrutiny. The state government is reportedly reviewing import permits.
