Adani Group Faces Scrutiny Over Airport Nicotine Pouch Sales
Mumbai: The Adani Group is facing regulatory scrutiny after an investigation by India’s drug regulator revealed that duty-free shops at Mumbai International Airport were selling imported nicotine pouches without proper licenses. The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation considers these products an unapproved public health hazard under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
In response, the Adani Group has legally challenged the findings, arguing that domestic drug laws should not apply to international airport duty-free zones. The outcome of this case could set a crucial precedent for whether airport retail zones are exempt from strict domestic health regulations.
