Cigarettes in India - Research and Markets

In 2020, cigarette volumes witnessed a significant decline, as these products were deemed non-essential, which led to a halt to production and sales during the 41-day COVID-19 lockdown. By contrast, 2021 saw no such uniform lockdown, and personal mobility improved. Availability was not hampered for the most part, with the leading distribution channel, newsagent-tobacconists/kiosks, able to operate without any significant restrictions.
