Indian liquor company Radico Khaitan has reported an impressive 73% jump in consolidated net profit for the second quarter of FY26, reaching Rs 139.56 crore, compared to Rs 80.66 crore in the same period last year. The growth was fueled by rising demand and a strong push towards premiumisation — offering higher-end spirits that appeal to evolving consumer tastes.
The company’s revenue from operations rose sharply to Rs 5,056.72 crore, up from Rs 3,906.59 crore last year, reflecting robust performance across both its prestige and regular segments.
During the quarter, Radico Khaitan’s total IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) volume grew 37.8% to 9.34 million cases. The premium “prestige and above” segment rose by 21.7% to 3.89 million cases, while the regular and others category surged 79.6% to 5.04 million cases — showing strong momentum across all price points.
Company chairman and managing director Lalit Khaitan credited the strong results to stable input costs, a focus on premium brands, and efficient operations. He said,
“With steady raw material prices and our commitment to premiumisation, we have achieved solid margins while deepening our consumer and market engagement.”
He also noted that while global trade challenges have affected exports in the short term, the company’s strong domestic portfolio continues to drive growth.
Managing director Abhishek Khaitan added that India’s spirits market is undergoing a major shift towards premium brands, and Radico Khaitan is well placed to lead this change.
“With a strong innovation pipeline, expanding distribution, and consistent brand investments, we are now entering a phase of accelerated, high-quality growth — both in India and globally,” he said.
Radico Khaitan’s latest results underline the company’s growing dominance in India’s premium spirits segment, supported by a strong product lineup and consumer confidence.
