Commenting on the performance, Dr. Lalit Khaitan, Chairman and Managing Director said:

“After closing FY2021 on a positive note, it is heartening to report a robust performance in Q1 FY2022. The disruptive second wave of the pandemic impacted businesses from the second half of April. However, we noted rebound in volumes by the second fortnight of June 2021. Teams across different divisions came together with resilience and strength to ensure seamless operations and continued dispatches. This has enabled us to outperform the industry yet another quarter. 

This pandemic has tested the strength of our business model and we have emerged only stronger. We are looking ahead with a lot of optimism and are confident of making Radico Khaitan a leading global alcobev company.”

Commenting on the performance, Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director said:

“Despite state level lock downs and supply chain challenges posed by COVID-19 in Q1 FY2022, we delivered a strong all-round performance. As restrictions are lifted and normalcy resumes, month-on-month volumes indicate a positive trend and we are confident of an improved industry performance, led by Prestige & Above segment, in the coming quarters. I am pleased to report that after a solid performance last year, Radico Khaitan became the largest IMFL exporter out of India during Q1 FY2022.

Radico Khaitan is focused on further strengthening its premium products portfolio through new launches in the coming quarters and ongoing marketing investments. We are progressing well on our strategic growth agenda which will create long term shareholders value.”
