Indian gin has had quite a glow-up. Not too long ago, the idea of reaching for a homegrown bottle over a European label felt like a compromise. Some of these craft gins are genuinely giving international names a run for their money, and they're doing it with ingredients you'd actually recognise from your own kitchen or a monsoon-season memory. The best part: most of them won't set you back more than Rs 3,000. Here we present the best Indian gins under Rs 3,000 for home bar, These include Sector Gin, Doja Gin, Greater Than, Jin Jiji, and more. These Indian gin brands deliver flavour, craftsmanship and value in every pour.
Note: These Indian gin prices can vary depending on where you are and where you're buying from.
Made in Goa, Sector keeps things grounded in the London Dry tradition but sneaks in a very Indian personality. Cochin ginger, cubeb berries, coriander and lemon all show up, and somehow it all comes together as something smooth and easy to drink. Great starting point if you're still finding your gin footing, and equally satisfying if you already know what you're doing.
Price: ₹1,650
This one's a bit of a wildcard in the best possible way, part Indian, part Japanese in spirit. Yuzu leads the charge, with sansho pepper, cedar, fennel, cardamom and peppermint playing supporting roles. It's aromatic and fresh, and honestly just fun to drink. Works beautifully with tonic and a citrus twist.
Price: ₹2,050
If you've been paying any attention to Indian craft gin over the past few years, you've probably heard of Greater Than gin. It's widely credited with putting homegrown gin on the map, and it holds up. Nine botanicals, lemongrass, ginger, chamomile, orange peel among them, come together in a crisp, citrusy London Dry that feels familiar but distinctly its own thing.
Price: ₹1,750
Jin Jiji does something genuinely interesting: it uses cashew nuts in the distillation process, which gives it a character you won't find elsewhere. Himalayan juniper, tulsi, and chamomile round things out, and the result is a smooth, herbaceous gin with real depth. If you care about provenance and craftsmanship, this one's worth seeking out.
Price: ₹1,400
If gin had a rainy season, it would taste like Malhar. Built around the mood of the monsoon, it comes in a Classic Dry and a Citrus version, both layered with spice and brightness. The Citrus one is particularly lovely, Indian lime, hibiscus, angelica, the kind of gin that makes a simple G&T feel like a proper occasion.
Price: ₹2,300
Indian gin has well and truly earned its spot on the shelf. There's enough variety across these bottles to suit most moods, and none of it will hurt your wallet. Next time you're stocking up, start local. You might be pleasantly surprised.
