Allied Blenders & Distillers (ABDL) announced the commencement of commercial operations at its bottling facility in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The unit, with an initial capacity of 6 million cases per annum, marks a major milestone in ABD's integrated manufacturing programme to serve the state's growing spirits demand.

The facility forms part of the assets acquired in January 2026 for ~ Rs 70 crore and subsequently upgraded by ABDL with an investment of ~ Rs 40 crore. The commissioning enhances the Company's bottling capacity in Uttar Pradesh and is expected to improve service efficiency while delivering cost benefits through increased in-house bottling and savings on franchise fees.

Uttar Pradesh, one of India's fastest-growing spirits markets, is central to ABDL's growth plans. The Company has announced an investment of over Rs 600 crore in the state, including the acquisition and upgradation of the Moradabad unit and the development of an integrated facility comprising a dual-mode distillery and additional bottling capacity.
