Overview

• Located at ABD’s integrated Rangapur complex, the new PET unit is designed for about 615 million bottles a year and is expected to meet roughly 70–75% of the company’s packaging needs.
• The facility aims to cut logistics costs and reliance on external suppliers, and it includes automated robotics packaging, energy‑saving equipment and recycling capabilities.
• Management outlined total FY26 capex of about Rs 527 crore spanning the PET plant, a Rs 75 crore single‑malt distillery slated to be built by the fourth quarter of this fiscal, and an ENA capacity expansion in Maharashtra under approval.
• The ENA project targets an increase from 11 million litres per annum to roughly 60 million litres, building on a recently acquired unit to bolster supply security and operational efficiency.
• ABD plans an Indian single‑malt launch in 2029 due to maturation timelines, and it sees premiumisation strengthening in the festive quarter, while a Supreme Court order has set a six‑month window to resolve its Mansion House and Savoy Club brand dispute.
