12. Highly regulated environment is a major challenge faced by
the new players entering Indian market
Regulatory environment Impact
• The Indian brewing industry operates in a highly regulated environment and beer is categorized
with other alcoholic products for licensing and taxation purposes
• Movement of beer among states in India requires an export and an import license
• Export fees is imposed in the state where beer is manufactured and import fees on the state
where it is sold
• Few states like Tamilnadu have strict rules of selling only beer manufactured within the state
• There are many other restrictions on advertising, distribution infrastructure and retailing, varied
tax structures, controlled pricing and licensing
• The retail distribution channels are not completely open for selling beer in India
• Regulations are stiff with respect to selling beer through modern retail chains where as in most
developed nations beer and wine is available in grocery or retail stores
d l d ti b d i i il bl i t il t
• Distribution channel of beer in China is one outlet for every 300 persons. Whereas it is one
outlet for every 21,000 persons in India, thus hindering the ease of accessibility of beer
Leads to • More complexity in operations
Regulatory Environment • Higher costs
• Entry barriers for new entrants
BEER MARKET – INDIA.PPT 12
13. Minority preference for beer in India and high tax structure
are the major challenges for Indian beer industry

• There are about 26 different alcohol specific taxes that constitute 50% of the consumer price
which is among the highest in the world
• In India, beer taxes are levied by individual states and taxes are also paid between states

content required by the beer industry
SAB Miller India is encouraging farmers in Rajasthan to cultivate a type of malt barley required by the industry
The company launched a programme called Saanji Unnati for educating farmers to sow the right type of certified seeds and practices
