ABD COMMENCES COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS AT MORADABAD BOTTLING
FACILITY
~ 6 million cases per annum capacity strengthens ABD’s manufacturing footprint and
advances its backward integration programme ~
Mumbai, 19th October, 2026: Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABD), one of India’s
leading spirits companies, today announced the commencement of commercial operations at
its bottling facility in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The unit, with an initial capacity of 6 million
cases per annum, marks a major milestone in ABD’s integrated manufacturing programme to
serve the state’s growing spirits demand.
The facility forms part of the assets acquired in January 2026 for ~ ₹70 crore and subsequently
upgraded by ABD with an investment of ~ ₹40 crore. The commissioning enhances the
Company’s bottling capacity in Uttar Pradesh and is expected to improve service efficiency
while delivering cost benefits through increased in-house bottling and savings on franchise
fees.
Uttar Pradesh, one of India’s fastest-growing spirits markets, is central to ABD’s growth plans.
The Company has announced an investment of over ₹600 crore in the state, including the
acquisition and upgradation of the Moradabad unit and the development of an integrated
facility comprising a dual-mode distillery and additional bottling capacity.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Amar Sinha, Managing Director, ABD, said, “The
commencement of operations at the Moradabad unit is an important step in strengthening
ABD’s manufacturing base and presence in Uttar Pradesh. Backward integration is a key pillar
of our strategy, enabling greater control over the value chain, improved supply chain agility
and stronger cost efficiencies. The unit will support our growth in the state and provide a
platform for further integration, including increased captive ENA capacity.
Uttar Pradesh is central to this backward integration journey. The State’s progressive excise
policy framework and conducive investment environment provide a strong foundation for the
industry’s long-term growth and bolster state’s economy.”
