Suraj Industries Strengthens Manufacturing Base with New Partnerships and Greenfield Distillery Project​

Suraj Industries Ltd., through its subsidiary Carya Chemicals & Fertilizers Private Limited (CARYA), is actively expanding its manufacturing footprint in the alcohol-bev industry. CARYA specializes in the production and bottling of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), Country Liquor (CL), and Rajasthan made Liquor (RML).

The company achieved a significant milestone by commissioning its dedicated bottling facility, which has an installed capacity of approximately 48 lakh cases per annum. This facility is used to manufacture and bottle CARYA’s own range of RML and CL brands. The RML portfolio includes products such as Carya Black Leo XXX Rum, Carya Hill Top Classic Whisky, and Carya Hill Top Orange Vodka. For the Country Liquor segment, CARYA's offerings include Carya Jhumroo, Carya Nimboo Mastana, Carya Preet, and Carya Dhol Dhamaka.

Strategic Collaborations and Capacity Enhancement​

CARYA is also actively participating in contract bottling arrangements. Under a manufacturing agreement with Allied Blenders & Distillers Limited, CARYA bottles select IMFL brands, including Officer's Choice Prime Whisky, Iconiq White Prime International Grain Whisky, and Sterling Reserve B7 Deluxe Blended Whisky.

Further bolstering its market presence, the company announced a new manufacturing arrangement with Radico Khaitan Limited, a major Indian alco-bev player known for branded IMFL. Following the receipt of requisite approvals from the Excise Department, operations are expected to commence shortly, offering an opportunity to enhance capacity utilization and strengthen operational efficiencies within Rajasthan’s expanding market.

Focus on Backward Integration​

As part of its long term strategy toward backward integration, CARYA is in the process of establishing a 125 KLPD grain-based greenfield distillery. This facility is scheduled for commissioning in July or August 2026. The output from this new distillery will be used for captive consumption, designed to improve operational efficiencies and margin performance.

The infrastructure development of this grain-based distillery is progressing well. The main process plant has been supplied and installed by Praj Industries Limited, a leading provider of distillery technology in India. While major equipment installation is complete, integration, electrification, and pipeline connectivity works are underway. CARYA has applied for the necessary Consent to Operate from the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board and anticipates receiving approval soon.

Commenting on these developments, Managing Director Mr Suraj Prakash Gupta stated that "The progress achieved at CARYA reflects our commitment towards creating a fully integrated alco-bev manufacturing player in Rajasthan. With the successful commissioning of our bottling facility, the manufacturing tie up with leading alco bev players and the upcoming commissioning of our grain based distillery, we have laid a strong foundation for future growth. We believe these investments will enhance our operational efficiencies and create long term value for all stakeholders."

CARYA operates as part of Suraj Industries Limited (SIL). The company maintains a growing presence in the alcobev industry and is also involved in contract bottling with Rajasthan State Ganganagar Sugar Mills Limited (RSGSM), which holds exclusive wholesale rights for Country Liquor (CL) and Rajasthan Made Liquor (RML) in the state.
