The only alco-bev company to be recognized in the latest MSCI rebalancing, reinforcing its strong financial performance, market leadership, and investor confidence.
MUMBAI, Feb 14 (The CONNECT) – Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD), India’s largest homegrown spirits company and a market leader in the IMFL (Indian-Made Foreign Liquor) segment, has been included in the MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index, effective February 28, 2025.
The MSCI India Domestic Small Cap Index is widely tracked by institutional investors, including global funds, pension funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
ABD is the only alco-bev company to be recognized in the latest rebalancing, reinforcing its strong financial performance, market leadership, and investor confidence.
ABD’s inclusion in the index reflects its robust revenue growth, strong operational performance, and expanding market share in India’s alco-bev sector. In Q3 FY25, ABD reported ₹ 977 crore in revenue, with an 8.92% year-on-year growth, driven by its expanding premium and prestige portfolio.
The company’s flagship brand, Officer’s Choice, remains among the world’s best-selling whisky brands, while new premium offerings such as Sterling Reserve and ICONiQ Whisky continue to gain market traction
ABD’s inclusion is expected to enhance ABDs credibility in the global investment community, reaffirming its financial strength and governance standards while attracting increased institutional investor interest.
This recognition is likely to boost liquidity and trading volumes, leading to greater stock visibility and demand, ultimately driving long-term value creation for stakeholders, analysts said.
ABD’s strong market presence, backed by a distribution network spanning over 79,000+ retail outlets across India and exports to 22 countries, positions it well for sustained growth.
With a strategic focus on premiumization and innovation, ABD remains committed to strengthening its leadership in the alco-bev sector while delivering long-term shareholder value.
