- Monsoon is looking on-track to deliver a healthy harvest and adequate supply of all our wines in 2025
Rajeev Samant, CEO, Sula Vineyards, said: "We are pleased to report our highest-ever first quarter Revenue, EBITDA, and PAT in Q1FY25. This is despite the significant headwinds we faced during the quarter including the national elections which led to restrictions on AlcoBev movement and several dry days, and secondly the scorching heatwave. Both these factors impacted trade offtake and end consumer demand in Q1.
A really encouraging trend for us is that wine drinking is picking up well beyond the metros with states like Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, among others performing strongly for us in Q1. One other positive is ‘The Source’ range, which has been a real standout in the Elite & Premium category, growing by 21% YoY in Q1.
One of the initiatives we took in Q1 was adopting a new route-to-market in Maharashtra where we have gone for a third-party sales model for our Economy & Popular brands. This strategy has yielded good results.
Overall as we look ahead, we hope to build on our first quarter results and deliver a strong FY25."
