India customs becomes second agency to fight Adani over nicotine pouches

Indian customs authorities support the health ministry's stance against Adani Group's airport nicotine pouch sales. The customs department stated that tax advantages do not exempt shops from regulatory controls. Adani Group is challenging the ban in Mumbai's High Court, arguing domestic regulations do not apply. Authorities deem Adani's interpretation of duty-free goods consumption as untenable and incorrect. The legal dispute over these popular nicotine products will be heard again soon.
