ABDL commences commercial operations at Rangapur malt distillery

Allied Blenders and Distillers announced the commencement of commercial operations at its malt distillery at Rangapur, Telangana. The facility has an approved manufacturing capacity of ~ 4.4 million BL per annum. The greenfield facility marks a key milestone in expanding ABD's domestic production footprint and vertically integrating its core supply chain.

The facility will enable ABD to manufacture malt spirit in-house, giving the Company greater control over the important input used in its whisky portfolio. This will help ensure consistent quality and provide a steady, dependable supply of malt spirit as production scales up.

Along with meeting ABD's internal needs, the distillery will drive new product development and maturation. Crucially, it allows ABD to begin laying down malt spirit to craft its own homegrown single malt whisky in the coming years and support its growing Prestige & Above portfolio.
