A small-cap company engaged in manufacturing and selling Indian Made Foreign Liquor is in the spotlight after announcing its entry into a new segment, which pushed the stock up by 6 percent today.

It has touched an intraday high of Rs. 514.95 in today’s trading session, implying up by 5.5 percent from previous close price.
What’s the News?
Tilaknagar Industries has made a strong entry into the premium whisky segment with the launch of Seven Islands Pure Malt Whisky, an Indo-Scottish blend made from four single malts sourced from India and Scotland. Known as India’s largest brandy producer, the company is expanding beyond its flagship brands Mansion House and Monarch Legacy Edition, and this launch follows its recent announcement to acquire Imperial Blue, the world’s third largest selling whisky. With this move, the ninety year old company positions whisky as its second major growth pillar alongside its established dominance in the brandy category.
Seven Islands is a pure malt created by blending four single malts sourced two from India’s Himalayan and Vindhyan regions along with two from Scotland’s Speyside and Lowlands, resulting in a distinct Indo-Scottish flavour profile that goes beyond traditional single malts. Additionally, the company has raised funds through issuing warrants, which have also been allotted to Madhusudhan Kela through Singularity AMC.
Opportunity In India
Whisky continues to be India’s most preferred and aspirational spirits segment, making up around 66 percent of total consumption in 2024 according to IWSR. The category grew 7 percent year on year in the first half of 2025 and crossed 130 million cases, supported by steady premiumisation. Exports are also rising, reflecting growing global interest in Indian made whiskies. For Tilaknagar Industries, which has long held leadership in the brandy market, this expanding whisky opportunity offers a strong and timely new growth pathway.
According to Chairman and Managing Director Amit Dahanukar, India’s whisky market is rapidly evolving with rising demand for premium and luxury products, making it the right time for Tilaknagar Industries to enter the segment with Seven Islands. He emphasized that the brand blends Indian craftsmanship with global standards and that, with whisky accounting for over 60 percent of the country’s spirits market, expanding into this category was a natural strategic move.
