Middle East Crisis increases Alcobev Input Costs in India
With the ongoing conflict in the Middle East severely disrupting global supply chains, two of India’s leading industry bodies, the Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies (CIABC) and the Brewers Association of India (BAI), have approached state governments seeking urgent price revisions and relief measures to offset unprecedented input cost escalation.
