Kati Patang Eyes $10B Market with Spirits Acquisition Drive

Kati Patang Lifestyle is evolving into a comprehensive lifestyle beverage platform, expanding beyond its craft beer origins to target the premium alcohol market. The company is strategically focusing on premium beers and actively exploring entry into the spirits business, aiming to capture a significant share of a $10 billion addressable market. Advanced discussions are underway for acquiring controlling stakes in premium spirits brands and distribution networks.

This strategic pivot is complemented by an expansion of its UK operations. Kati Patang has increased its stake to a majority 51% in CHADKP Holdings Ltd, which owns Chadlington Brewery and The Tite Inn in Oxford. The company's gluten-free Saffron Lager is also set to be brewed locally for distribution in nearly 800 JD Wetherspoon pubs across the UK.

Domestically, Kati Patang is reinforcing its market presence in key states like Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Goa. The company aims to significantly triple its total beer volume by FY27, with projected inorganic growth in spirits adding to this expansion. Financial restructuring, including raising ₹30 crore and swapping debt for equity, has positioned the company for this ambitious growth phase.

Kati Patang's strategy is centered on building a diversified lifestyle platform that incubates and scales premium alcoholic beverage brands. This approach aims to attract growth capital by promising substantial expansion over the coming years. The company has also strengthened its board with the appointment of Rajeev Talwar, former CEO of DLF.
