Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD), India's largest domestic spirits company by volume, has inaugurated a new PET bottle manufacturing facility at its integrated plant in Rangapur, Telangana, with an annual capacity of over 600 million bottles. The plant was built at an investment of approximately ₹115 crore and features automated robotics-based packaging, Japanese energy-saving equipment, and recycling capabilities. This commissioning is part of ABD's larger ~₹525 crore backward integration program, which also includes India's first single malt distillery in Rangapur and expansion of its ENA distillery in Maharashtra. Together, these projects are expected to improve gross margins by around 300 basis points by FY28, while reducing dependence on third-party packaging suppliers and cutting logistics costs.
Positive for shareholders: in-house PET production strengthens supply chain control, lowers packaging and logistics costs, and is projected to add ~300 bps to gross margins by FY28, supporting profitability and long-term operational efficiency.
