New Delhi [India], May 21: Piccadily Agro Industries Limited has announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (FY25), marking another year of achievement and momentum. The company recorded a 40% YoY growth in its Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) division--an outcome of its commitment to drive and expand its alco-bev business.
This performance was fueled by surging global demand for its internationally acclaimed Indri Single Malt Whisky and Camikara, India's first premium pure cane juice rum. Both brands have redefined how Indian spirits are perceived worldwide earning accolades and building a strong following across multiple continents.
Piccadily's sustained growth reflects its bold vision to build world-class spirits from India and its continued investment in quality, aging reserves, and global market expansion.
