Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABDL) has announced a significant capacity expansion plan for its operations in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The Management Committee of the Board of Directors, in a meeting held on August 6, 2026, approved a capital expenditure of approximately ₹293.5 crores for setting up a new 66 Million Bulk Liters (MN BL) per year Dual Mode Distillery. This distillery is expected to be completed by Q1 FY 2029 and aims to enhance operational flexibility and strengthen supply security.
Additionally, the company approved a further investment of approximately ₹202 crores to expand its bottling capacity. This expansion will increase the aggregate bottling capacity from the current ~6 Million cases per year to ~13 Million cases per year. The project involves establishing a new fully automated bottling unit, refurbishing the existing ~13 MN BL per year Molasses Distillery, and acquiring additional land. This phase is targeted for completion by Q3 FY 2028 and is intended to cater to the increasing demand in the region.
The total capital expenditure for these expansions amounts to approximately ₹495.5 crores. The financing for both projects will be a combination of debt and internal accruals. This expansion follows ABDL's earlier intimation on January 16, 2026, regarding the acquisition of assets in Uttar Pradesh from National Industrial Corporation Private Limited.
