New Delhi: Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd (ABDL) on Friday said it will invest Rs 115 crore as part of its ambition to enter into the single malt whisky business.The Management Committee has approved additional capital infusion of up to Rs 115 crore into subsidiary Minakshi Agro Industries LLP (MAILLP) for setting up a malt distillery-cum-maturation warehouse in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, the company said in a statement.The proposed facility will have a capacity of around 3 million bulk litres (MN BL) per year and is expected to be commissioned by the third quarter of FY28, the company said in a regulatory filing."The proposed investment is aligned with the Company's long-term strategic vision of expanding and strengthening its premium spirits portfolio through entry into the provenance-led Single Malt Whisky segment," ABDL said.The Committee, at its meeting held on Thursday, also approved an additional capital contribution of up to Rs 10 crore to MAILLP to meet cost overruns in previously approved projects, a bottling unit and a distillery, intimated to exchanges on January 29, 2026, it said.The additional funding for these ongoing projects is on account of a rise in prices of key metals and a marginal expansion of the bottling hall and mezzanine area to accommodate longer automated bottling lines, the filing said.ABDL, maker of Officer's Choice, is one of the leading spirits companies in India and the largest exporter in terms of volume, with a presence in 39 international markets.
