Moët Hennessy India targets double-digit growth via premiumisation, launching Glenmorangie Lasanta 15YO and expanding distribution across Tier-II/III cities. Focus on portfolio development and experiential consumption rather than local manufacturing, leveraging India-UK FTA duty cuts.

Why this matters

Moët Hennessy doubles down on India as a premium spirits growth market, leveraging FTA tailwinds and Tier-II/III demand rather than local production, signalling confidence in imported luxury over cost-led localisation.
