Allied Blenders to Enter Single-Malt Whisky Market with New Investment
Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD) is expanding into the single-malt whisky segment, investing up to Rs1.15 billion ($11.9 million) in a new integrated distilling and maturation complex in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. The facility is expected to produce three million bulk litres annually and begin operations by Q3 FY28. This move aligns with ABD's strategy to strengthen its premium spirits portfolio. In addition, the company has launched 'The Indian Edit,' a new premium whisky available across multiple formats in key markets such as Maharashtra, Delhi, and West Bengal. The launch supports ABD’s existing manufacturing and distribution network, which includes 40 units nationwide and exports to 39 countries.
