Official Corporate Intimation

Som Distilleries and Breweries Limited has submitted an official press release to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited. Pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Woodpecker Green Agri Nutrients Private Limited (“Woodpecker Green Agri”), has commenced commercial production at its brewery facility located in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The commercial production officially took effect on June 10, 2026. This structural advancement aligns with the company’s regional expansion directives.

Section 2: Facility Commencement Details

The operational kickoff of the Uttar Pradesh brewing facility represents a landmark transition for the corporation’s manufacturing footprint. Management highlights that this strategic move is specifically designed to maximize local supply chain efficiencies, augment core manufacturing output, and solidify the group’s overarching presence across northern Indian markets. The integration of the Woodpecker Green Agri facility will heavily support long-term growth and enable deeper market penetration within key geographical territories.

Business Profile and Strategic Updates

Established as a prominent player in the Indian alcoholic beverages industry, Som Distilleries and Breweries Limited specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality beer, Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), and ready-to-drink spirits. The foundational acquisition of Woodpecker Green Agri Nutrients Private Limited materialized in November 2025 to create a dedicated, integrated alcobev manufacturing project in Farukhabad, Uttar Pradesh. Throughout 2025, the company secured financial closures for both structural phases of this project. Earlier in May 2025, the company publicly announced its plans to execute this massive greenfield venture by investing ₹600 Crore into the state’s industrial zone to capitalize on localized consumer demand.

Financial Summary and Shareholding Highlights

During the financial disclosures tracked through 2025, the company demonstrated solid revenue momentum coupled with rising operational cost pressures. In its peak festive performance announced for Q2 FY2025 (July–September 2024), the company reported a standalone revenue of ₹1,402.69 Crore, marking an 11.86% year-on-year expansion fueled by core brands like Power Cool, Legend, and Woodpecker. However, net profit growth trailed behind revenue due to elevated raw material costs like malt and packaging inflation. Prominent institutional backing and public investors maintain a strong hold in the company, with public shareholding recorded at 51.47% and promoter holding stable at 39.39% by December 2025.
