Allied Blenders to Invest ₹1,000 Cr for Premiumisation; Targets ₹5,500 Cr Revenue by FY28

$ABDL plans to invest ₹1,000 crore to accelerate its premiumisation strategy and has set a revenue target of ₹5,500 crore by FY28. The company expects EBITDA to approach ₹1,000 crore by then, with margins expanding to 18-20%. Around ₹350 crore of the capex has already been deployed, with the balance to be spent over the next two years on expanding bottling capacity and strengthening backward integration, including a malt plant. The focus remains on higher-margin prestige and above brands, operational efficiencies, and benefits from the India-UK FTA on Scotch imports. *Top stocks in the alcoholic beverages industry:* $UNITDSPR s, $RADICO , and $UBL .
