Radico Khaitan Ltd, one of India’s leading liquor makers, announced a 73 percent rise in its consolidated net profit for the September quarter, reaching Rs 139.56 crore. The company credited this performance to strong volume growth across its portfolio. In the same quarter last year, Radico Khaitan had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 80.66 crore, according to its regulatory filing.

Consolidated revenue from operations stood at Rs 5,056.72 crore in the second quarter, compared to Rs 3,906.59 crore in the corresponding period a year earlier. Total expenses for the quarter increased to Rs 4,872.75 crore, up from Rs 3,795.84 crore in the previous year’s quarter.

During the quarter, total Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) volume rose 37.8 percent to 9.34 million cases. The company’s ‘prestige & above’ segment grew 21.7 percent to 3.89 million cases, while the ‘regular & others’ category surged 79.6 percent to 5.04 million cases, Radico Khaitan noted in its investor presentation.

Lalit Khaitan, Chairman and Managing Director, Radico Khaitan, said, “Supported by a stable raw material scenario, our continued focus on premiumisation, and operating leverage, we delivered strong operating margins while deepening consumer and market engagement.”

He further noted that while global trade conditions have presented short-term challenges for exports, “Our robust domestic portfolio underscores the inherent strength and agility of our business model.”

Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan,  said, “The Indian spirits landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift towards premiumisation, and Radico Khaitan is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation.” He added that with “a strong innovation pipeline, expanding distribution, and consistent brand investments,” the company is now entering the next phase of accelerated, high-quality growth both in India and international markets.

The results underline Radico Khaitan’s firm foothold in the evolving Indian alcohol market, where premiumisation continues to drive consumer demand and reshape category dynamics within the hospitality and retail segments.
