Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Our sales figures for this company step up at Jun 2018 and we hold nothing that says why, so we cannot honestly quote a growth rate across it.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
Our sales figures for this company step up at Jun 2018 and we hold nothing that says why, so there is no honest growth rate of its own to set against its sector.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 83.8× earnings it costs 3.5× the market, which pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 59.6×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 84.1×, the 50th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Priced at 2.0 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 41%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Breweries & Distilleries), it ranks 2 of 16 on returns, 3 of 16 on growth, 6 of 16 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
A wide advantage: it earns 24.2% on capital, ahead of 88% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹1733 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹1479 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹306 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 11 years, about 112 arrived as cash (before interest, which is why it can exceed the profit). Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 109 days for its cash to waiting 71 days for its cash.

Price trend
The price as a Renko brick chart: small moves drop out so the bigger path stands out.
Every brick is the same size, about one typical day's move. A new brick needs a full brick's move; turning the other way needs two. Bricks show where the price went, not where it will go.

GST Collections Rise 14.7% YoY to Rs 2.04 Lakh Crore In September
September GST jumped 15% to Rs 2.04 lakh crore on strong shopping, helping consumer-goods makers and insurers, with no direct loser.
Who it hits first
- India collected Rs 2.04 lakh crore in GST in September, up 14.7% from last year, which means shops and factories sold a lot more.
- Net GST revenue after refunds rose 18.1% to Rs 1.77 lakh crore, so the strength is real demand, not just fewer refunds.
- Stronger sales today usually mean fuller order books and busier lenders tomorrow, so makers of everyday goods and financial firms feel the lift first.
Who may gain
- Makers of everyday foods and drinks such as Nestle India (packaged foods) and Tata Consumer Products (tea, salt and staples) sell more when households spend freely.
- Drinks makers such as Radico Khaitan (liquor) gain as festive-season wallets open wider.
- Life insurers such as SBI Life Insurance and HDFC Life Insurance collect more premiums when household budgets and confidence grow.
- No listed loser stands out — a tax-collection beat hurts no company directly.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Wholesalers, kirana shops and online sellers restock faster and offer fewer discounts when goods move quickly, passing the festive demand back up to distributors and makers.
Upstream
Ingredient and packaging suppliers — milk, sugar, grain and paper-board sellers — see steadier pull as food and drink makers keep lines running, though one month's tax print alone orders no new capacity.
Where demand moves
Business
Shoppers buying more pulls orders through makers of soaps, foods and drinks to packers and transporters, while lenders and insurers see more loan and policy demand as incomes feel safer.
Capital
Investors rotate toward consumption and financial shares on the strong demand signal, lifting trading interest in large consumer and insurer names and bidding up credit-growth expectations for lenders.
How it spreads across sectors
Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Higher household spending lifts volumes for food, drink and personal-care makers, supporting near-term sales growth.
Financial Services
Stronger incomes and spending improve loan demand and premium flows for banks, lenders and life insurers.
When it plays out
Immediate
In the next few days, consumption and financial shares firm on the demand beat while analysts nudge festive-season sales estimates higher.
Medium term
Over 1-6 months, sustained collections support government spending and steady credit growth, feeding a longer consumption cycle.
Short term
Over 1-4 weeks, September sales updates and festive orders confirm whether the GST strength turns into company revenues.

India Forecasts Normal Winter Rain Despite Weak Monsoon Season
India expects normal winter rains despite a weak summer monsoon, helping winter farmers, fertiliser makers and rural shops, though weak summer rains still hurt summer crops.
Who it hits first
- The weather office expects normal winter rain even though summer monsoon rain ended about 12% below normal.
- A normal winter helps winter-sown crops (called rabi, like wheat) after a weak summer, so farm incomes hold up better.
- Godrej Agrovet, which sells animal feed and farm inputs, and Parag Milk Foods, which sells milk and cheese, sit closest to that farm relief.
Who may gain
- Farm input sellers like Godrej Agrovet that sell feed and crop care for winter sowing
- Milk and food makers like Parag Milk Foods and Hindustan Unilever that gain when village spending steadies
- Sugar makers like Balrampur Chini Mills that need good rain for cane, plus daily goods sellers as farm cash flows
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Milk collectors, grain buyers, village stores and city packers move more winter milk, wheat and sugar if the rain arrives as forecast.
Upstream
Seed, feed, fertiliser and farm-chemical sellers see steadier winter orders as sowing hopes improve after a weak summer.
Where demand moves
Business
Farmers sow more winter wheat and buy more feed, seed and crop care, while village shops sell more milk, soap and packaged food as farm cash steadies.
Capital
Investors favour rural-linked food and farm shares on a kind winter forecast, so money tilts toward steady staples makers while summer-crop losses cap the mood.
How it spreads across sectors
Agriculture
positive — better rabi hopes aid farm output after a weak summer
Fast Moving Consumer Goods
positive — steadier farm incomes support village buying of milk, food and soaps
Fertilizers
positive — normal winter rain supports winter sowing and fertiliser use, though the pack lists no Fertilizer members
Sugar
positive — cane and sugar output hopes improve with winter moisture
Two-wheelers
positive — steadier farm cash can aid bike and tractor buying at the margin
A pattern seen before
Cascade chain
- Summer monsoon -12% → kharif and reservoir stress
- Normal winter rain forecast → rabi sowing support
- Rabi acreage → fertilizer, feed and seed demand
- Farm cash → rural FMCG and dairy volumes

In 1–7 days, rural-linked food and farm shares firm on the kind winter forecast while traders watch reservoir levels.
Medium term
In 1–6 months, actual winter rain decides wheat, milk and sugar output and village spending.
Short term
In 1–4 weeks, winter sowing data shows whether farmers act on the forecast after a weak summer.

Govt Lowers Foodgrain Production Target By 2.63 mn Tonnes For 2026-27 Over El Nino Fears
The government cut its 2026-27 harvest goal by 2.63 million tonnes on El Nino fears, hurting food makers and shoppers with higher costs while helping no listed maker.
Who it hits first
- The farm ministry cut its 2026-27 foodgrain harvest goal by 2.63 million tonnes because of El Nino rain fears.
- The new plan aims for 196.21 million tonnes in the rainy kharif season and 177.72 million tonnes in the winter rabi season.
- A lower harvest outlook points to tighter grain supply, softer farm incomes, and higher food input costs ahead.
Who may gain
- Grain stockists and traders outside the listed food set could gain if tighter supply firms up prices.
- No listed biscuit, dairy, or drink maker gains business from a smaller harvest outlook.
- Farm input sellers see no gain, since a lower target signals softer sowing and rural spend.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Downstream, biscuit, bread, dairy, and drink makers that buy wheat, milk, and sugar face higher input costs and thinner volumes.
Upstream
Upstream, seed, fertiliser, and tractor sellers see softer orders as a lower sowing outlook cools farm spending.
Where demand moves
Business
Food makers face weaker business demand as grain costs rise and rural shoppers with smaller harvests spend less on biscuits, dairy, and drinks.
Capital
Capital turns cautious on grain-linked food shares, trimming exposure to wheat, dairy, and sugar names while favouring less farm-linked personal care.
How it spreads across sectors
Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Biscuit, dairy, and food makers face higher grain and milk costs, squeezing margins and slowing volumes.
Fertilizers
Fertiliser makers see softer demand as a lower harvest target signals less sowing and farm spend.
A pattern seen before
Cascade chain
- El Nino fears → foodgrain target cut 2.63 mn tonnes (kharif 196.21 + rabi 177.72)
- Lower harvest outlook → farm incomes and rural cash soften
- Softer rural incomes → fertilizer, tractor, two-wheeler and rural lender demand cools
- Tighter grain supply → FMCG food costs firm and sugar/food volumes soften
Pattern name
Monsoon Cascade
Patterns
- Monsoon Cascade
Sectors queried
- FMCG
When it plays out
Immediate
Food shares drift 1-2% lower on El Nino headlines while traders watch rain maps and grain mandi prices.
Medium term
A weak harvest would lift food inflation, squeeze food-maker margins, and slow rural sales of bikes, tractors, and small loans.
Short term
If dry signals persist, wheat, dairy, and sugar cost worries build and rural demand chatter softens.

Why is Som Distilleries stock rising today? Ace investor Prashant Jain-backed liquor share jumps 7% on this key update
A court restored Som Distilleries' liquor licence in Madhya Pradesh, so the brewer can keep selling and its investors benefit, while rival liquor makers face tougher competition.
Who it hits first
- The Madhya Pradesh High Court cancelled the state's refusal to renew Som Distilleries & Breweries' liquor licence.
- Som Distilleries & Breweries, a beer and spirits maker, can keep brewing and selling in Madhya Pradesh instead of stopping.
- Its shares jumped nearly 7% as investors priced out the closure risk.
Who may gain
- Som Distilleries & Breweries shareholders, who keep their Madhya Pradesh sales
- Madhya Pradesh wholesalers, shops and bars that keep receiving Som's drinks
- Ace investor Prashant Jain-backed holders named in the story, who see the 7% lift
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Madhya Pradesh wholesalers, shops and bars keep receiving Som's beer and spirits instead of facing a gap on their shelves.
Upstream
No named supplier in the pack, so no direct upstream gain — Som simply keeps ordering bottles, grain and packaging as before.
Where demand moves
Business
Som keeps its beer and spirits flowing to Madhya Pradesh shops and bars, so its sales volume holds instead of dropping to zero; rival liquor makers keep splitting drinkers with Som rather than grabbing its shelf space.
Capital
Investors rushed back into Som Distilleries after the court win, driving the nearly 7% jump, while rival liquor shares see no fresh buying and may drift as the hoped-for share grab fades.
How it spreads across sectors
Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Narrow relief rally for Som only; rival liquor makers face continued competition, with no wider consumer-goods impact since sector readthrough is false.
When it plays out
Immediate
Next 1-7 days: Som holds its gains as traders confirm the licence paperwork; rivals wobble slightly as the share-grab hope fades.
Medium term
Next 1-6 months: Som's sales normalise if no appeal succeeds; the event fades unless the state challenges the ruling.
Short term
Next 1-4 weeks: Som restocks Madhya Pradesh outlets and steadies sales; rivals refocus on their own brands with little lasting damage.

Your booze could cost more in Delhi this festive season: Here’s why
Delhi plans to raise tax on liquor this festive season, so drinkers pay more and whisky and beer makers earn less, while the Delhi government collects more tax.
Who it hits first
- Delhi plans to raise excise duty (the tax on liquor) by wholesale-price slabs, so shop prices for whisky, beer and other drinks rise just as festive buying peaks.
- United Spirits, India's largest whisky and spirits maker, and United Breweries, India's largest beer maker, face weaker Delhi sales volumes or thinner margins if they absorb part of the tax.
- The Delhi government collects more tax per bottle, which partly offsets any dip in the number of bottles sold.
Who may gain
- Delhi government — keeps more excise tax (duty on liquor) per bottle sold during the busy festive season.
- Liquor shops and bars just outside Delhi in neighbouring states — may pick up a few Delhi buyers hunting cheaper bottles.
- No listed drinks maker benefits — the duty rise is a cost or sales hit for every Delhi seller.
Along the supply chain
Downstream
Delhi liquor shops, bars and restaurants pay higher wholesale cost and either raise menu prices, hurting footfall, or absorb the rise, hurting their own margins, while distributors delay festive stocking until the new slabs are clear.
Upstream
Bottle and packaging suppliers such as glass-bottle makers see slightly fewer rush orders if Delhi volumes dip, and grain-spirit suppliers such as Globus Spirits, which also distils liquor, face the same festive softness in Delhi.
Where demand moves
Business
Festive drinkers in Delhi see higher shelf prices and buy fewer bottles or switch to cheaper brands, while Delhi bars and shops order more carefully, so United Spirits and United Breweries ship fewer cases in Delhi over the festive weeks.
Capital
Investors trim near-term festive sales hopes for Delhi-exposed distillers and brewers such as Radico Khaitan, Allied Blenders and Tilaknagar, with no broad consumer-staples sell-off since food, soap and dairy demand is untouched.
How it spreads across sectors
Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Narrow drag confined to Delhi liquor — whisky, beer and wine sellers see softer festive volumes while the rest of staples such as food, soap and dairy see no change.
When it plays out
Immediate
1-7 days: Delhi stockists pause big festive orders and shares of Delhi-exposed brewers and distillers wobble as the duty detail trickles out.
Medium term
1-6 months: sales settle at the new price level, Delhi tax collections show whether higher duty offset fewer bottles, and makers adjust promotions.
Short term
1-4 weeks: higher shelf prices bite during peak festive buying, with Delhi volumes softer and some buyers crossing outside Delhi for cheaper bottles.
