Indian Single Malt Whisky Sales Reach 500,000 Cases in 2025, Led by Domestic Brands
Indian single malt whisky sales are projected to reach approximately 500,000 cases in 2025, marking a 22% growth, according to the Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies (CIABC). This expansion is driven mainly by domestic brands like Amrut, Rampur, Indri, and Paul John, which are expected to hold about 92% of the market. Foreign-backed brands such as Diageo's Godawan and Pernod Ricard's Longitude 77 account for around 7%. The category has grown steadily over recent years, reflecting increased consumer demand for premium Indian-origin whiskies.
