What Associated Alcohols & Breweries Ltd. does
Associated Alcohols & Breweries, established in 1989, manufactures alcoholic beverages across the full liquor value chain from a single vertically integrated facility at Khodigram (Barwaha), Madhya Pradesh. It processes grains such as rice, maize, jowar and barley into Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) and grain-based ethanol, which feed its own IMFL (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) and IMIL (Indian Made Indian Liquor) bottling lines as well as third-party sales. It earns through several channels: its own proprietary IMFL brands, licensed IMFL brands, contract/franchise bottling for players including United Spirits (Diageo) and Inbrew, bulk ENA sales to other liquor makers and bottlers, and ethanol sales to oil marketing companies and private buyers. A captive malt plant supports in-house whisky (including an upcoming single malt) and captive power generation supports the site's energy needs.
