Summary
India's food regulator will not extend the ninety-day deadline for energy drink labeling changes. Global beverage companies sought a one-year extension to comply with new regulations. Many Indian states have indicated existing stocks can be sold within sixty to ninety days. Companies are also concerned about state governments seizing energy drink products. This decision is set to significantly disrupt the beverage industry in India.
