Guidelines for Carrying Alcohol on Domestic Flights and Trains in India
In India, carrying alcohol on domestic flights is allowed up to 5 litres per passenger in checked baggage, with restrictions on alcohol content between 24% and 70% ABV and packaging requirements. For train travel, alcohol carriage rules vary by state excise laws along the journey route, with no fixed nationwide limit. Sealed bottles may still be prohibited in states with alcohol bans, and passengers should verify regulations for all states they travel through to avoid legal issues.
