French spirits giant Pernod Ricard is building a malt spirit distillery in Maharashtra state of India as part of a €200million (USD216.48m) investment in the region.
While details of the project are still to be released, Pernod Ricard claimed it will be one of the largest distilleries in India, with a daily capacity of 60,000 litres of malt spirit.
The Maharashtra state government and Pernod Ricard India signed a memorandum of understanding for the distillery earlier this month.
The distillery, in the industrial suburb of Butibori in Nagpur, is expected to take at least three years to build and will produce Pernod Ricard’s Indian whisky brands, such as its Longitude77 range.
It is forecast that the distillery will use up to 50,000 tonnes of barley a year, which Pernod Ricard plans to procure from local farmers.
