ABDL targets mid-teen growth in FY27, aims to cross 600 crore Ebitda
INDIA BUSINESS | Sun, 26 Jul 2026, 1:55PM IST
Alco-beverage firm ABDL expects to deliver mid-teen growth in revenue and volume in FY27, driven by premiumisation, exports and capacity expansion, despite uncertainties arising from geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions, Managing Director Amar Sinha said.
Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd (ABDL), which owns brands such as Officer's Choice and ICONiQ, is pursuing a three-year transformation strategy focused on premiumisation, strengthening margins and expanding its international footprint, he said.
The Chhabria family-promoted firm, which is expanding its international footprint, expects to increase presence to 60-70 countries over the next three years, driven by premium and mass-premium portfolio.
"We would have a volume and top-line growth of mid-teens in FY27. EBITDA margins should remain stable and comparable to FY26," Sinha told PTI in an interaction.
The company said its premiumisation drive remains the key growth lever going forward as it reported a 5.8 per cen

New Delhi: Enthused by the consistent financial performance of the last four quarters, Punjab National Bank MD and CEO Ashok Chandra exuded confidence that the bank's profit would surpass the Rs 20,000 crore mark this financial year.The public sector lender had earned a net profit of Rs 16,904 crore in the previous financial year.From the second quarter of last financial year, the bank has been maintaining a net profit of over Rs 5,000 crore every quarter, Chandra told PTI in an interview."We have maintained the same trend in the first quarter (ongoing financial year). And I am hopeful and confident that with the profitable growth, which is happening in the system....we will be surpassing the Rs 5,000 crore number and every quarter will be reaching a new height," he said.Asked if the bank can cross the Rs 20,000 crore mark during FY27 at this run rate, he said, "If I am telling that every quarter Rs 5,000 crore of net profit will happen, I think that goes to that figure which you are talking about".To achieve the target, he said, the bank is focusing heavily on conducting mega outreach activities every quarter on a very large scale.Besides, he said, retail, agri, MSME, and self-help groups are going to be the focus areas for asset creation.Overall, loan growth will be 12-13 per cent while deposits would be growing at 9-10 per cent during the ongoing financial year, he added.Chandra also said the bank would enter into acquisition finance in the third quarter of the current financial year as the RBI recently opened the window for lenders.Earlier this year, the Reserve Bank came out with final guidelines on acquisition finance by banks, increasing the lending limit to up to 75 per cent of the deal value from the 70 per cent proposed in the draft rules."The acquisition finance market is a very, very big market and ample opportunities are there in the system. We have got our policy approved for the acquisition financing in the last board meeting," he said."We are looking for a good partner and then maybe from Q3 onwards, we will be initiating some work in the acquisition financing."To begin with, he said, the bank would be starting acquisition finance with the domestic entities, and this will help the bank to diversify its asset portfolio.While permitting the activity from July 1, the RBI listed out a set of conditions to be met while banks do such financing activities, including a corporate guarantee from the acquiring company and ensuring that the debt-to-equity ratio does not exceed 3:1 post-acquisition on a continuous basis.The equity shares or compulsorily convertible debentures acquired by the acquiring company shall be free from any encumbrance; a borrower needs to have a net worth of at least Rs 500 crore and a net profit for three years, and the unlisted entities should additionally enjoy investment-grade ratings, the RBI had said.

Will confront Trump if threat to UK: Burnham
INDIA NEWS | Sun, 26 Jul 2026, 12:54PM IST
New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he is prepared to publicly disagree with US President Donald Trump if doing so is in Britain's national interest, while stopping short of saying whether he trusts the American leader.In his first major interview since becoming prime minister, Burnham told the BBC he had a "really warm" first exchange with Trump. However, when asked twice whether he trusted the US president, he declined to give a direct answer."It's a changing world isn't it, and you just obviously have to call things as they develop," Burnham said.The prime minister said maintaining an independent position on international issues would be part of his approach in office."I can't at any point say that I won't take a different opinion from him [Trump], that I will need to voice a different idea that is right for Britain," he said.Asked whether he would publicly challenge Trump if necessary, Burnham replied: "Of course.""You have to defend your own national interest before anything else. That's what you're required to do if you're to do this job properly," he added.Burnham also said he had been concerned about Trump's decision to begin the conflict with Iran and said he "wouldn't hold back from saying what I think is right."Defence spending pledgeOn defence, Burnham declined to set a timeline for raising military spending to 3% of GDP.The issue has been politically sensitive after Chancellor John Healey resigned from the previous government, arguing that the UK needed to commit to reaching that level by 2030 to ensure national security.Burnham said he appointed Healey with full knowledge of his views on defence spending."I appointed my new chancellor very aware of what he had said about the critical importance of defence spending and the position that he had taken about that," Burnham said.He added that the government's immediate priority was ensuring its defence investment plan was fully funded ahead of this year's budget."The first challenge facing us both is to ensure that the defence investment plan is fully funded and that's the thing that's right in front of us and we need to work that through as we go towards the budget later this year," he said.Pressed again on the 3% target, Burnham said: "We've got to work out the way of doing that."No early electionBurnham also ruled out calling an early general election before 2029."I'm going to rule it out... I don't think people want it," he told the BBC, adding that his priority was "getting the country back where it should be."

Costa Coffee store count shrinks to 198 in India in FY26, revenue up 7%
INDIA BUSINESS | Sun, 26 Jul 2026, 12:31PM IST
British coffee chain brand Costa Coffee's store count in India shrunk to 198 outlets in FY26 from 220 a year ago, marking a first decline in over five years in a key market for the company, according to the latest annual report of its exclusive franchise partner Devyani International Ltd (DIL).
Costa Coffee is owned by global beverage major The Coca-Cola Company.
However, Costa Coffee's revenue was up 7 per cent year-on-year to Rs 212.5 crore in FY26. In FY25, sales/revenue from operations increased 30.76 per cent to Rs 198.5 crore, driven by store expansion, with the network growing to 220 outlets from 179.
FY26 revenue saw growth despite the store count falling, underlining the shift from network-led growth to higher revenue per outlet.
The net reduction of 22 cafes marks a break from Costa Coffee's expansion run since FY21, when it operated just 44 outlets in the country. The store count had risen every year since then -- to 55 in FY22, 112 in FY23, 179 in FY24 and 220 in FY25 -
