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. Commenting on the commencement, Amar Sinha, Managing Director, ABD, said, “The start of operations at the malt distillery is an important step at ABD, this underscores ABD’s disciplined approach to backward integration and process excellence. Moving critical production inputs in-house enhances operating margins, insulates core brands from market fluctuations, and establishes a robust foundation for next-generation spirits development.” Rangapur has evolved into the operational anchor of ABD’s growth story. With grain distillation, PET bottle production, bottling operations, and now with malt distillation, ABD has created an end-to-end, integrated manufacturing hub. This complete self-reliance provides total control over cost, quality, and supply continuity, while giving the teams the agility and scale to innovate and premiumise with speed.
