Allied Blenders and Distillers Invests ₹115 Crore in PET Bottling Unit, Boosting Margins and Efficiency
Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd. (ABD), India’s largest domestic spirits company by volume, has commissioned a PET bottle manufacturing facility at its integrated manufacturing facility in Rangapur, Telangana. The ₹115 crore facility, with an annual capacity of over 600 million bottles, will meet a significant portion of ABD’s packaging needs, reduce reliance on external suppliers, lower logistics costs, and enhance supply chain efficiency. The facility is part of ABD’s broader ₹525 crore backward integration program, which includes the PET Bottling unit and India’s first single malt distillery in Rangapur, and the expansion of the recently acquired ENA distillery in Maharashtra. These investments are expected to enhance operational efficiency and improve gross margins by ~300 basis points by FY28.
