United Spirits products seized in India over bottle marking as second regulatory action hits Diageo

Indian authorities have seized Diageo products worth approximately ₹135 million ($1.6 million) over alleged non-compliance with bottle marking requirements. The products – reportedly including spirits brands distributed by United Spirits, Diageo’s Indian subsidiary – were detained over labelling and bottle marking specifications that Indian regulations require for domestically sold products. United Spirits has not yet issued a public statement on the seizure at time of publication.
