Court rejects Adani plea that duty-free shops are beyond domestic laws

An Indian court has ruled that nicotine pouches sold at duty-free shops are subject to domestic laws. The Adani Group challenged the legality of their items, arguing they are not drugs and are innovatively classified. Authorities maintained that selling such products poses a public health risk and violates drug laws. The court concluded that regulations apply to goods sold within Indian territory, including duty-free areas.
