Cigarettes: Growth potential

Cigarettes account f or only 14% of  tobacco consumed in India

unlike world pattern of  85% due to prolonged punitive taxation

Cigar ettes (14% of tobacco consum ption) contri bute nearly 85% of 

R evenue to the Exchequer fr om tobacco sector 

Of  the 58% of  adult Indian males who consume tobacco, barely

15% can aff ord cigarettes

Biri : Cigarettes ratio = 10 : 1

Annual per capita adult cigarette consumption in India is appx. onetenth world average : 141

Future growth depends on relative rates of  growth of  per capita

income and moderation in taxes
