AABL has received NCLT Kochi Bench approval to acquire SDF Industries Ltd for ₹30.85 crore. SDF Industries, a distillery-cum-bottling unit in Thrissur, Keralam on 10 acres, will become AABL's wholly owned subsidiary. The facility offers IMFL bottling capacity of ~3.60 lakh cases/year and ENA distillery license capacity of 75 lakh litres/year. AABL ranks top 3 private players in Kerala with ~1.5 lakh cases/month. Acquisition will bring brands like Lemount White Brandy and Jamaican Magic Rum to in-house bottling, with operations targeted to commence by September 2026.
Acquisition enables in-house bottling, cost efficiency, and margin expansion; strengthens AABL's Kerala presence and pan-India ambitions.
