India is consolidating its position as the largest import market for Scotch Whisky by volume. Everything points to it reducing its tariff from 150% to 75% in 2026 under the U.K. – India Trade Agreement, with a path of further reductions to 40% in 2035.
This new scenario opens up extraordinary potential for bulk and bottled whisky, especially for:
Local blends; RTDs; Private labels and Made in India Projects in key hubs such as Mumbai and Chennai.
At Bulk Wine & Spirits, we offer Indian importers and producers a wide portfolio of bulk whiskies, with highly competitive prices and consistent quality, ready for local rebottling.
Key opportunities for Indian importers:
◾ Tariff reduced to 75% in 2026: strategic window to position bulk whisky before further reductions.
◾ NOC FSSAI valid for 365 days: faster imports, QA testing and smooth distribution in India.
◾ Flexibility in styles and specifications to suit local blends and private labels.
