Company Background
Alcobrew Distilleries India Ltd. was incorporated in 2002 and is a significant player in the Indian alcoholic drinks industry. Headquartered in Gurugram, the company has evolved from a contract manufacturing specialist to a branded spirits manufacturer. Its state-of-the-art distillery is located in Derabassi, Punjab, producing whiskies, rums, gins, and vodka. Alcobrew has a footprint in over 20 Indian states and multiple international markets.
Operations and Product Range
The company manufactures, markets, and sells Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), covering whiskies, vodkas, rums, gins, brandies, and more. It manages over 13 brands across popular, prestige, premium, and luxury segments, including White & Blue Blended Whisky, Golfer's Shot Premium Whisky, White Hills Regular Whisky, and One More Vodka.
Alcobrew also engages in contract manufacturing and licensing, including the licensed manufacture and sale of "Old Smuggler" Scotch and Rum in India on behalf of Davide Campari Milano N.V. Customers include domestic consumers and over 20 international export destinations.
Facilities and Capacity
Alcobrew operates integrated manufacturing units in North India. The main bottling plant is in Dera Bassi, Punjab (operational since 2006). A distillery in Gamber Valley, Solan, Himachal Pradesh (established in 2022) ensures backward integration. Combined, the units have a total bottling capacity of 6.40 million cases per annum.
Brands and Market Presence
Alcobrew has a strong distribution network across India. Market share includes 11.02% in Delhi (volume) and 3.79% in North India whisky market. Internationally, products are exported to over 20 countries including Uganda, UAE, Kenya, and Nepal.
