On April 23, 2025, Som Distilleries and Breweries Limited (SDBL) announced a major business development—commencing beer dispatches from its facility in Hassan, Karnataka, to the state of Tamil Nadu. This step marks the company’s strategic entry into one of the largest alcohol-consuming regions in India, significantly expanding its market reach.

The dispatch began following regulatory compliance, and Som Distilleries has made this information public under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 30, read with Schedule III - Part B. This move reflects Som Distilleries’ ongoing expansion strategy as it aims to tap into the growing demand for alcoholic beverages in Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu is known for its substantial consumption of alcoholic beverages, making it a key target for companies looking to expand their market footprint. The company's decision to dispatch beer from its Karnataka plant to Tamil Nadu is expected to create new growth opportunities in the state, offering the company's products to a larger and more diverse consumer base.

This move also highlights Som Distilleries' efforts to broaden its geographical presence and improve its market penetration across India. The company’s products, including a variety of beer offerings, are set to gain access to the Tamil Nadu market, where consumer preferences for beer have been growing in recent years.

The announcement was made by Nakul Sethi, Director of Som Distilleries and Breweries Limited, and the company has also made the information available on its official website, www.somindia.com, as part of its commitment to transparency and corporate governance.

While this expansion is seen as a positive development for the company, there are no immediate financial impacts noted in the disclosure, but it is expected to contribute positively to the company’s revenue growth in the coming quarters.

Som Distilleries’ market expansion efforts are part of its broader strategy to establish a strong presence across various regions in India, capitalizing on emerging trends and expanding demand for its diverse portfolio of alcoholic beverages.

This disclosure is an essential part of Som Distilleries' ongoing efforts to comply with the regulatory framework under SEBI and keep its shareholders and stakeholders informed about its strategic business developments.
