Jul. 17 – According to the latest figures from the Scotch Whiskey Association, there was an impressive 30 percent increase in the volume of Scotch whiskey exports to India in the year 2011, compared to 2010. The government of India has shown signs that it is willing to decrease duties from 150 percent to 40 percent on whiskies priced more than US$7 per liter and wines above US$4 per liter if the European Union gives more access to the Indian services industry and labor-intensive goods.
