Tobacco in India

Cigarettes and cigars continued to witness steady growth both in terms of current value and volume in 2011. Growth in consumption was supported by increases in prices by cigarette companies to gain greater value sales compared to previous years. Furthermore, the absence of change in excise taxes also supported the stronger growth of cigarettes and cigars over 2010. Consumers increasingly continued to shift from smoking traditional beedis towards Western economy-priced cigarettes.
