Press Release
Magic Moments Sets a New Benchmark for Indian Vodka,
Sells 3.25 million Cases in Q1 FY2027
Landmark milestone reflects the rapid evolution of India's vodka category, driven by
premiumisation, flavour innovation and changing consumer preferences
New Delhi, July 5, 2026 – Magic Moments, the flagship vodka brand from Radico Khaitan, India's
largest homegrown alcobev company, has achieved a landmark milestone by sustaining a record run
rate sales of one million cases every month. The achievement further reinforces Magic Moments'
position as India's leading vodka brand and the world's fifth-largest vodka brand, while highlighting the
growing scale and long-term potential of India's vodka category.
During the quarter, Magic Moments delivered total volume of 3.25 million cases compared to 2.27
million cases in the same period last year, translating into 43% y-o-y growth.
With an estimated 60% market share, Magic Moments has played a defining role in shaping the
evolution of India's vodka market. The milestone comes at a time when the Indian vodka category is
undergoing a structural transformation, driven by changing consumer preferences, premiumisation,
cocktail culture, growing in-home social occasions, and increasing acceptance of white spirits among
new-age consumers. Flavoured vodka has emerged as one of the strongest growth drivers for the
category, accounting for over 65% of vodka volumes in FY26, as innovation continues to attract new
consumers and encourage experimentation. While vodka accounts for nearly 28-30% of global spirits
consumption, its share within India's IMFL market remained below 5% in FY26, underscoring the
significant headroom for long-term category growth.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan, said:
"Selling one million cases every month is a significant milestone not just for Magic Moments, but also
for the evolution of the vodka category in India. Over the past few years, we have witnessed a clear
shift in consumer preferences, with younger legal-drinking-age consumers, evolving social occasions,
the growing cocktail culture, and the rising popularity of flavoured vodka driving greater acceptance of
white spirits. We believe this is a long-term structural shift rather than a short-term trend.
At Radico Khaitan, we recognised this opportunity early and have consistently invested in flavour-led
innovation, premiumisation, consumer engagement and brand building. Our ‘Flavours of India’ range
is a strong reflection of this approach, as an Indian company, we understand local preferences and
the evolving palate of Indian consumers. By combining global vodka trends with uniquely Indian
insights, we have been able to create offerings that connect deeply with consumers.
While India remains significantly underpenetrated compared to global vodka markets, this also
presents a substantial long-term opportunity for the category. As category leaders, we remain
committed to driving innovation, expanding consumer choice, and shaping the next phase of India's
vodka journey."
Press Release
As India's consumption landscape continues to evolve, vodka has consistently outpaced the broader
IMFL industry, supported by the growing popularity of flavoured variants, expanding cocktail culture,
increasing in-home social consumption, widening adoption beyond metro markets, and a rising
preference for lighter, more versatile spirits. These structural trends are expected to support the
category's sustained long-term growth.
With Magic Moments at the forefront of this evolution, Radico Khaitan remains committed to
accelerating category development through innovation, premiumisation, and consumer-centric
experiences while continuing to strengthen India's evolving vodka culture.
