The board of Tilaknagar Industries approved the acquisition of the Imperial Blue business (production, bottling, marketing and sale of alcoholic beverages) from Pernod Ricard India Private Limited on a slump sale basis for an enterprise value of €412.6 million (~INR 4,150 crores), including a deferred payment of €28 million (~INR 282 crores) payable after 4 years. Imperial Blue is the third largest brand in the Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) segment with a 9% volume share in whisky, 22.4 million cases sold, presence in 27 states, and FY25 turnover of Rs 3,067 crores. The deal is subject to Competition Commission of India approval and is expected to close in 6 months. Additionally, the board approved raising up to INR 6,500 crores (up to INR 2,500 crores equity-linked and INR 4,000 crores debt) via QIP, FPO, rights issue, or private placement, and increased borrowing limits to INR 5,000 crores.
This is a transformative, marquee acquisition that will make Tilaknagar one of the leading players in brandy and whiskey (the two largest IMFL categories) and marks its entry into the Indian whisky segment, significantly scaling its business. However, the large equity-linked fundraise of up to INR 2,500 crores signals potential dilution for existing shareholders, which may weigh on the stock in the near term despite the long-term growth potential.
