Alcoholic Drinks in India

Increased mobility and the reopening of on-trade were the primary reasons for alcoholic drinks bouncing back in 2021. The Indian government did not implement a uniform lockdown in the country as it had done in 2020. Mobility gradually increased to pre-pandemic levels in the second half of 2021. Local consumers started to socialise more frequently, with such occasions boosting volume sales. In addition, at-home consumption continued to drive off-trade growth.
