Global alcohol firms demand $466 mln from Indian state in payments row, sources say

Global alcohol companies, including Pernod Ricard, Diageo, and Carlsberg, are seeking approximately $466 million in payments from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu due to a dispute over pricing and taxation policies. The companies have been embroiled in a legal battle with the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC), which controls liquor sales in the state, over the past few years. The dispute centers around the state's decision to increase taxes and reduce profit margins for liquor companies, leading to claims for compensation for losses incurred. The companies argue that these changes were implemented without proper consultation and have significantly impacted their business operations. The case has seen multiple court hearings, with the companies now pushing for a resolution, potentially through arbitration or further legal action, as they seek to recover the substantial sums they claim are owed to them.
