ABD's Integrated Rangapur Facility Recognized with Best Factory Award by Telangana Government
Allied Blenders and Distillers Limited (ABD), the largest domestic spirits company by volume in India, secured the Best Factory/Management Award for its integrated manufacturing facility in Rangapur, Wanaparthy district, Telangana. The recognition was conferred by the Labour, Employment, Training & Factories Department (LET&F), Government of Telangana, during the Labour Day celebrations held on May 1, 2026.The award highlights the excellence in both manufacturing processes and management practices at the facility. The integrated infrastructure, a key production hub for ABD, encompasses an ENA distillery, an IMFL bottling unit, and a PET bottle manufacturing plant, which was recently commissioned in September 2025.
