Radico Khaitan Expands Luxury Indian Whiskies To Four Major UK Airports

Radico Khaitan Limited, an Indian liquor company, has announced the expansion of its premium Indian whisky brands to four major UK airports - Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Birmingham. This strategic move aligns with the company's objective of blending Indian heritage with global craftsmanship standards. The Rampur Distillery, established in 1943, is known for its whiskies crafted using the climate of the Himalayan foothills.

The company's financial performance has been robust, with net revenue of approximately ₹6,050 crore in FY26, an increase of 22% in IMFL volumes to 38.3 million cases. In Q1 FY27, the company reported its highest-ever quarterly performance, with revenue of approximately ₹1,684 crore, EBITDA of ₹348 crore, and a 20.7% margin. The Prestige & Above portfolio, which includes Rampur Indian Single Malt Double Cask, Rampur Asava, Rampur Barrel Blush, and Sangam World Malt, contributed 70.3% to the IMFL value in FY26, with a 36% growth in Q1 FY27.

Abhishek Khaitan, the Managing Director, expressed excitement about building a meaningful brand presence in the UK and ensuring Indian spirits are experienced in the right environments by appreciative consumers. Sanjeev Banga, President - International Business, highlighted the exciting opportunity to showcase Indian luxury to the world of Scotch whisky drinkers.

The four UK airports handled over 170 million passengers in 2025, providing a significant opportunity to increase the visibility of Indian luxury spirits. Radico Khaitan currently operates in over 65 duty-free locations and aims to expand to more than 100, with global travel retail expected to strengthen brand visibility and encourage trials among global travellers.
