The total income of Radico Khaitan in the June quarter was at Rs 4,269.30 crore, up 9.18 per cent.

In the June quarter, its total IMFL volume (Indian-made foreign liquor) decreased by 4 per cent whereas the Prestige & Above category volume grew14.3 per cent," said an earning presentation by makers of Rampur single malt, Magic Moments Vodka and Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin.

While Prestige & Above (premium) net revenue growth was 19.1 per cent compared to Q1 FY2024.

"We expect to continue to deliver a double-digit premium volume growth in FY2025. Non-IMFL revenue growth was due to full distillery capacity utilization of the Sitapur plant which was commissioned during Q3 FY2024," it said.

Commenting on the results, Chairman & Managing Director Lalit Khaitan said: "During Q1 FY2025, we achieved strong premium volume growth despite a challenging operating environment. External factors such as lower consumption growth concerns about ongoing foodgrain inflation, and volatile commodity prices did not deter us from delivering robust operating performance."

"We remain confident in the medium to long-term potential of the Indian IMFL sector. With our distinguished portfolio of luxury and premium brands, coupled with our execution expertise and an expansive distribution network, Radico Khaitan is well-positioned to seize forthcoming industry opportunities," he said.
