In India, the legal drinking age varies per state and union territory, often falling between the ages of 18 and 25. According to state-specific excise rules and regulations, companies engaged in the manufacturing, import, distribution, and sale of vodka in India must get the proper licences and permissions. To avoid encouraging excessive or reckless drinking, the government places limits on the language, frequency, and format of alcohol marketing. According to the recommendations of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), labelling and packaging regulations normally include mandatory information, including the brand name, alcohol content, warning words, and statutory declarations. Given the country's ongoing urbanisation, shifting consumer preferences, and expanding cocktail culture, the Indian vodka market has a bright future. There are chances for innovation, product diversification, and the introduction of new flavours and varieties as customers become more daring in their beverage preferences.
