This has been led by a "stable raw material environment and a favourable product mix contributed to meaningful margin expansion", said Khaitan.

On the outlook, its Managing Director Abhishek Khaitan said the company would continue premiumisation as it has introduced a fast-growing super-premium space with the introduction of brands.

"As the year unfolds, we remain confident in sustaining strong topline growth. With a broadly stable raw material environment and continued premiumisation, we are well-positioned to deliver margin expansion and further net debt reduction," he noted.

In the Indian alcohol industry, Abhishek Khaitan said it is evolving into a lifestyle-led category, driven by rising affluence and shifting consumer preferences.

"In this dynamic environment, Radico Khaitan is well-positioned to lead the next phase of growth, supported by its diversified portfolio, strong innovation pipeline, and growing presence in premium and luxury segments," he said.
