The company traces its origins to the Rampur Distillery, established in 1943 in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh. For several decades, it operated primarily as a bulk spirits supplier to other liquor companies. In the later part of the twentieth century, the firm expanded into branded consumer products and was rebranded as Radico Khaitan to reflect its broader presence in the IMFL market.
Radico Khaitan's portfolio includes a number of well-known Indian liquor brands. Its flagship products include:
The Rampur facility is one of the older operating distilleries in India and is the source of the Rampur single malt range, which has been marketed in international whisky markets including the United States and Europe.
Radico Khaitan is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India. The company has been associated with the Khaitan family, with Lalit Khaitan serving as Chairman and Managing Director and Abhishek Khaitan as Managing Director in its public leadership.
Radico Khaitan is regarded as one of the major Indian-owned players in a domestic spirits industry that is otherwise dominated by multinational groups. Its move into premium and luxury categories — particularly with Rampur single malt and Jaisalmer gin — is part of a broader trend of Indian distillers competing in international premium spirits segments traditionally led by Scottish, Irish and continental European producers.
