A top alco-bev company has come into the spotlight after outlining its ambitious growth plans, aiming to achieve Rs.2,100 crores in revenue over the next four years. Backed by a focus on premiumisation, brand expansion, and strategic market penetration, the company expects to clock an 18 percent growth rate by FY26, attracting strong interest from investors.
During Friday’s trading session, shares of Associated Alcohols & Breweries Ltd reached an intra-day high of Rs.1,125.05 apiece, rising 0.3 percent from its previous closing price of Rs.1,121.90 apiece. However, the stock retreated later and is trading at Rs.1,112.95 apiece. Over the past five years, the stock has delivered over 1,140 percent returns.
Future Outlook
Associated Alcohols and Breweries Ltd (AABL), a major alco-bev company in India, is planning to double its revenue from over Rs.1,150 crore in FY24 to around Rs.2,000-2,100 crore over the next 3-4 years. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Whole-time Director Tushar Bhandari shared that the company expects 15-18 percent annual growth to meet this goal.
The company is aggressively focusing on premiumisation across all categories in the non-beer segment. Bhandari said AABL plans to launch premium brands in every key segment including whisky, vodka, rum, gin, tequila, brandy, single malts, and ready-to-drink (RTD) products. This broad portfolio will help AABL attract new distributors, importers, and international partners.
AABL aims not just to grow in size but to shift its revenue mix. Bhandari mentioned that the company wants its own IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) sales to contribute nearly 50 percent of total revenues. This strategy is expected to strengthen brand value and improve margins over time.
With a strong product lineup, market understanding, and strategic focus on premium products, AABL is gearing up to expand its presence in both Indian and global markets. The company’s roadmap signals long-term growth backed by innovation and portfolio enhancement.
Domestic And International Expansion
AABL is targeting strong domestic growth by aiming for its own brands to contribute 50 percent of total revenue. The company has a strong presence in states like Madhya Pradesh and Kerala, where it ranks among the top players. It is expanding into new markets such as Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Odisha, and Karnataka, and also eyeing the CSD segment for further growth.
On the international front, AABL plans to export its premium gin and whisky, after already supplying popular brands to Africa and the UAE. Back in India, it has a packed launch schedule with new products like vodka, RTD drinks, premium brandy, and tequila. The company also introduced the world’s first white brandy, which has seen success in Kerala.
Financial Performance
According to its recent financial updates, Associated Alcohols and Breweries Ltd reported consolidated revenue of Rs.242 crores in Q4 FY25, nearly unchanged from Rs.242 crores in Q4 FY24. However, on a sequential basis, revenue declined by approximately 26 percent from Rs.327 crores reported in Q3 FY25.
The company’s net profit stood at Rs.22 crores in Q4 FY25, marking an 83 percent increase from Rs.12 crores in Q4 FY24. However, it declined by about 15 percent compared to Rs.26 crores reported in Q3 FY25.
