Reuters exclusively revealed that New Delhi has rejected Pernod Ricard’s (PERP.PA) application to renew its liquor sale license, citing ongoing investigations into the company – the latest blow to the French spirits giant in the critical growth market of India.
Market Impact
The company counts India as a key market where it has a 17% share and competes with Diageo (DGE.L). While the market share for New Delhi alone is not available, industry sources say that as an urban tourist hub, the city serves as a showcase market for premium brands, making it critical for any liquor company.
