Cigarettes
As seen in the past, stability in taxes on cigarettes, backed by deterrent actions by enforcement agencies, continues to enable volume recovery for the legal cigarette industry from illicit trade leading to higher demand for Indian tobaccos and bolstering revenue to the exchequer from the tobacco sector.

Further, ITC said in a press statement it continues to engage with policy makers for a framework of equitable, non-discriminatory, pragmatic, evidence-based regulations and taxation policies that dis-incentivise illicit trade in cigarettes, balance the economic imperatives of the country and tobacco control objectives, while cognising for the unique tobacco consumption pattern in India.
