Som Distilleries & Breweries has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The filing discloses that beer manufacturing contributed 84.7% of total turnover, while Indian Made Foreign Liquor accounted for the remaining 15.3%.
The report covers consolidated data from three owned plants and five offices across India. Exports constituted a marginal 0.69% of total turnover, with the company serving markets in 22 states and union territories domestically, alongside 18 international countries.
What the Numbers Show
The revenue concentration is heavily skewed toward beer, which dominates nearly five-sixths of the company's business activity. This high dependency on a single product category suggests that operational risks related to raw material sourcing or regulatory changes in the alcohol sector could disproportionately impact overall performance.
