What drove the sharp revenue increase?

The consolidation of Imperial Blue whisky and strong growth in Mansion House brandy (over 7% sequentially) pushed revenue to ₹1,046 cr, up from a much smaller base a year ago.

Why are gross margins under pressure despite higher volumes?

Higher packaging costs squeezed gross margins, though softer extra-neutral alcohol prices partly offset the impact.

How much of Imperial Blue integration is complete?

About 90% — only one state remains to be transitioned.

How will the India-UK FTA affect Tilaknagar?

The agreement took effect in July and is expected to lower Scotch import costs, supporting margins from the third quarter onwards.

The full read

Tilaknagar Industries posted ₹1,046 cr in Q1 FY27 revenue, the first quarter above a ₹1,000 cr threshold. Volume hit 8.7 million cases, up 172% from a year ago, driven by Imperial Blue whisky (up 18% sequentially) and Mansion House brandy (up over 7%). Adjusted EBITDA rose 166% to ₹148 cr, though gross margins faced headwinds from higher packaging costs. The Imperial Blue integration is now 90% complete; one state remains. A tailwind is coming: the India-UK free trade agreement, effective July, should cut Scotch import costs and lift margins from Q3. The next test is whether margins follow volume.
