Lalit Khaitan, chairman & managing director said: “Over the past few years, our focus on expanded backward integration, enhanced distribution capabilities, a strong innovation pipeline, and impactful consumer engagement has propelled our growth. With the Indian spirits industry witnessing an increasing shift toward premium and luxury brands, we are well-positioned to capitalize on long-term opportunities in this evolving market.

Our growth this year was broad-based across both brands and geographies. The first half of the year was marked by industry and regulatory headwinds that impacted volume growth in the regular category. Additionally, rising grain and ENA prices posed further challenges. Despite this, we delivered strong volume growth and upheld our margin expansion commitments.

Continuing our commitment to innovation, we introduced 8PM Premium Black in Q1 FY26 with a bold new look, designed to enhance brand imagery while highlighting its unique product story, crafted around the harmony of eight select notes. As we move forward, the first quarter of FY26 will see the launch of two luxury brands—projects in development for the past two years. These launches represent a significant leap in Radico Khaitan’s premiumization journey, reaffirming our belief that the best is yet to come. Additionally, we will enter the super-premium whisky segment within the first half of the year, strengthening our footprint in high-growth categories.

Looking ahead, we anticipate strong double-digit growth in the Prestige & Above category, enhanced profitability, a continued emphasis on cash flow generation, and long-term value creation for our shareholders.”

Radico Khaitan is among the oldest and one of the largest manufacturers of Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) in India. It is one of the few companies in India to have developed its entire brand portfolio organically.
