Suntory is also exploring distribution and manufacturing synergies, said one of the persons.134525571Long-term PossibilityThe deal would give Suntory a stronger foothold in Indias mass whisky market, where it remains relatively small compared with its premium business, said the person cited earlier.Controlled by promoter Kishore Chhabria, Allied Blenders is Indias third-largest listed spirits maker, with a market capitalisation of about Rs 20,000 crore. The Mumbai-based company, which has 38 manufacturing units, raised Rs 1,500 crore through an initial public offering two years ago.The transaction is expected to be largely primary in nature, with the promoters likely to dilute a portion of their stake to bring Suntory on board, and they may even look to cede a majority stake in the long term, the person said.Also Read: Bira 91 revival plan - Anicut-led board offers to buy out key investorsBina Kishore Chhabria, a promoter of Allied Blenders and Distillers, sold a 1.96% stake in the spirits maker for Rs 357.6 crore through an open-market transaction on Wednesday, a day after the company said a promoter planned to sell shares to meet minimum public shareholding requirements. Following the transaction, her holding fell to 56.24% from 58.20%, while the combined stake of promoters and promoter-group entities declined to 78.95% from 80.91%.Allied Blenders and Distillers does not comment on market rumours or speculation, a company spokesperson said in response to ETs queries. Suntory Holdings did not comment.Suntory Holdings, the worlds third-largest distiller, aims to close the gap with rivals Diageo and Pernod Ricard in the expanding Indian market, where it currently generates about $150 million in annual sales. India is the worlds largest whisky market by volume, with sales of about 260 million cases in 2025. Both Diageo and Pernod Ricard count India as their largest market by volume and second biggest in value.Suntory Holdings has long maintained a strong position in the Indian premium spirits market, anchored by brands such as Yamazaki, Hibiki, Toki and Jim Beam. Its Indian-made Oaksmith whisky is aimed at the mass and mid-premium segments. The distiller dominates Indias Japanese whisky segment with about 95% share and has about 44% of the American whiskey category. It also owns Teachers, a leading Scotch whisky brand.The Japanese beverage maker operates a manufacturing plant in Rajasthan and uses third-party bottling facilities in Goa, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana. It established Suntory India about two years ago to explore expansion opportunities in beverages and wellness. Last year, it also explored buying Imperial Blue from Pernod Ricard, but the discussions did not progress after the two sides differed over valuation, according to people familiar with the matter.Greg Hughes, CEO of Suntory Global Spirits, last month said the company would evaluate acquisitions in India if a right partner emerged. India is an important strategic market, and if the right opportunity came along, there was a fit from a portfolio, scale and cultural perspective, then we would evaluate that, Hughes told ET.

INDIA NEWS | Sun, 27 Sep 2026, 11:24PM IST MUMBAI: The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank's private investment arm, has agreed to lend $70 million (Rs 670 crore) to state-run Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), India's busiest container gateway, to fund the installation of shore power supply (SPS) infrastructure across its terminals in what is being called as the first 'blue financing' in India's maritime sector.The agreement for the ten-year, US dollar-linked external commercial borrowing (ECB) loan was signed in New Delhi on September 24, officials said. The loan doesn't involve a sovereign guarantee.JNPA and IFC are yet to officially announce the deal.SPS infrastructure will allow ships at berth to switch off their diesel engines and connect to land-based electricity, helping cut carbon emissions by 63%, reduce air pollution by up to 90%, and create more than 400 jobs.Also Read: Adani's Dhamra Port becomes Indias first large private multi-cargo port to run fully on renewable electricityAs the first 'blue financing' for port infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific, the SPS project is aligned with the new Blue Finance guidelines of the Indian Ports Act, 2025.The loan also represents the first development finance institution investment in India's state-owned major ports and the first commercial borrowing by a port authority.The partnership aims to elevate India's maritime sector by setting new benchmarks for its ports and help them meet global standards, said a top J N Port official.Also Read: DHL Express to raise shipment charges by 8.9pc in India starting JanuaryJNPA will become the first Indian port to deploy shore power technology at scale commercially. IFC's long-term financing is expected to support the adoption of this emerging technology and demonstrate a replicable financing model that could facilitate similar investments across other ports in the country."Funding from international development institutions like IFC will enable J N Port Authority to manage early-stage commercial risks, build operational experience, and bring international best-practices, prior to scale-up," Gaurav Dayal, chairperson, JNPA, told ET. "A successful operational and commercial demonstration by India's largest container port would provide proof of concept for broader adoption of SPS across Indian ports and other emerging markets, delivering economic as well as environmental benefits."The Maritime India Vision 2030, launched by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, calls for Indian ports to become globally competitive, digitally advanced, and environmentally sustainable by the end of the decade. At the core of this vision is the Harit Sagar Green Port Guidelines, a national framework for decarbonising port operations, reducing pollution, and transitioning the maritime sector to cleaner fuels and technologies."Shore power is one of Harit Sagar's flagship interventions, and the project is expected to demonstrate JNPA's pioneering commitment to achieving Harit Sagar Green Port Guidelines, setting a new benchmark for the Indian ports sector," said Dayal.India's ports are critical to its trade, and this investment is about making them future-ready, said Manuel Reyes Retana, division director, South Asia at IFC."By partnering with India's largest and busiest container port we are going beyond an infrastructure upgrade to demonstrate that sustainable financing can work for the country's maritime sector at scale," said Retana. "This is how the World Bank Group adds value: unlocking, mobilising and expanding access to finance, creating jobs, and helping India scale modern smart infrastructure that expands trade, applies first-in-market innovation, and builds a maritime economy the world will look to."
