Radico Khaitan Limited – Crafting India’s Finest Spirits Since 1943

Radico Khaitan Limited (RKL), formerly known as Rampur Distillery, stands as one of the oldest and largest alcohol manufacturing companies in India. Established in 1943, RKL began as a bulk spirits supplier and has since evolved into a leading producer of branded liquor in India, known for its innovation, quality, and craftsmanship.

With over 75 years of expertise in distillation, Radico Khaitan has transformed from a contract distiller into one of the top alcohol brands in India. The company’s journey took a defining turn in 1998 with the launch of 8PM Whisky, marking its foray into creating its own best Indian liquor brands.

Today, Radico Khaitan boasts an impressive portfolio of over 15 brands, including 8PM Whisky, Magic Moments Vodka, Old Admiral Brandy, 8PM Premium Black Whisky, Morpheus Brandy, Contessa Rum, 1965 Spirit of Victory Rum, and After Dark Whisky — all of which are among the most popular alcohol brands in India. These spirits have set benchmarks in the market, earning Radico a place among the top 10 alcohol brands in India.

Recognised as one of the most respected liquor manufacturing companies in India, Radico Khaitan’s in-house innovation, R&D capabilities, and deep understanding of consumer preferences have helped it create premium alcohol brands that resonate with Indian and international audiences alike. Many of its products are also regarded as expensive alcohol brands in India, representing excellence in craftsmanship and quality.

With two state-of-the-art distilleries — Rampur Distillery in Uttar Pradesh and Radico NV Distilleries Maharashtra Limited in Aurangabad — RKL has a combined capacity of over 157 million litres and operates 28 bottling units across India.

The company is one of the largest suppliers of branded liquor in India to the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) and exports to over 85 countries worldwide. It continues to redefine what it means to enjoy the best alcohol in India, offering spirits that cater to every palate — from classic whisky lovers to modern vodka enthusiasts.

Radico Khaitan has been consistently featured among the top 500 of India’s most valuable companies by The Economic Times, Business Today, The Financial Express, Business Standard, Forbes, and Fortune. In 2020, the company proudly joined the Fortune 500 list, solidifying its position as one of the best alcohol brands in India and a pioneer among alcohol brand names in India.

Whether it’s liquor price in India, product innovation, or global recognition, Radico Khaitan continues to set new benchmarks, embodying the essence of India’s best alcohol drink experience.
