India’s international airports are seeing a sharp rise in duty-free alcohol sales, mirroring stronger outbound travel from major hubs and fast-growing tier II/III cities and a shift toward premium, experiential purchases. Whisky still leads, but travelers are branching out into vodka, Japanese and Irish whiskies, and RTDs—positioning India as a key growth engine for global travel retail as aviation capacity and routes expand. For brands, airports are becoming prime discovery platforms with “India-first” packs and promotions aimed at younger, globally minded consumers.
Taken together, today’s coverage underscores how rising mobility and premiumization are reshaping where and how consumers discover brands—especially in travel hubs—creating timely opportunities for marketers, retailers, and producers to meet demand with targeted, experiential offerings.
