The allotment comes as Tilaknagar Industries has entered a new phase of expansion. Long known for building India’s brandy market with leading labels such as Mansion House and Courrier Napoleon, the company recently made a strategic push into the premium whisky segment.
The company launched Seven Islands Pure Malt Whisky, a 100% pure malt made using select Indian and Scottish malts. The new whisky marks its entry into a category dominated by global and domestic giants, reflecting its ambition to diversify beyond brandy and capture a larger share of India’s premium spirits market.
“Seven Islands introduces a style that moves beyond the single-malt focus that has shaped recent conversations around Indian whisky. As a pure malt, it blends four single malts – two from India and two from Scotland, allowing it to draw unique characteristics from multiple distilleries, regions and maturation styles,” the company said.
The move also follows the announcement that it will acquire Imperial Blue, the world’s third largest-selling whisky brand. Once completed, this acquisition would instantly place Tilaknagar among the major players in India’s whisky market, making whisky its second major growth pillar alongside its long-established dominance in brandy.
Tilaknagar Industries has evolved over the decades from a sugar manufacturer into a significant IMFL (Indian-made foreign liquor) company. TI today operates through two key verticals: its mainstream IMFL business led by Mansion House and Courrier Napoleon, and its premium division, House of TI, which includes Monarch Legacy Edition and its investment arm supporting emerging craft spirit makers.The fresh share allotment to Singularity Equity Fund underlines the confidence of institutional investors in the company’s long-term strategy.
