Indri reports No. 1 Indian single-malt rank for 2024-25

Indri reports that IWSR volume data named it India’s No. 1 malt whisky in both 2024 and 2025, marking a second consecutive year at the top of the presentation’s single-malt ranking. The brand also reports distribution across 33 countries, 20 international duty-free locations and 23 Indian duty-free locations.

Is Indri India’s largest-selling single malt?

Indri is presented as India’s largest-selling single malt for two consecutive years, based on IWSR volume designations for 2024 and 2025. The 2024 slide labels Indri as “No. 1 Malt Whisky” in India under “IWSR Volume 2024,” while the corresponding 2025 slide repeats the No. 1 designation under “IWSR Volume 2025.”

The change from 2024 to 2025 is therefore not a stated change in rank, but the continuation of the No. 1 position for a second year. The presentation does not provide bottle volumes, value sales, market share or the names of competing single malts, so its claim is confined to the IWSR volume ranking shown for each of the two calendar years. Indri was introduced in 2022, according to the company’s timeline.

The two-year claim sits within a comparatively short product history. Piccadily Agro Industries Limited says it expanded the Indri range in 2023 with Dru and the Diwali 2023 Edition, followed in 2024 by the Diwali Collectors Edition and City Series Editions. In 2025, the timeline records Agneya, a Dubai City Series and a Bengaluru City Series alongside the 2025 Diwali Collectors Edition.

Where does Indri sell beyond India?

Indri’s presentation says the brand has reached 33 countries, alongside 20 international duty-free locations. The country list spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and India, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Within India, Indri reports presence across 29 states and Union Territories, with the presentation stating that this cumulative number includes the channel labelled CSD. The domestic list includes Delhi, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, among other markets. This indicates that the 33-country footprint is presented alongside, rather than instead of, a broad Indian distribution network.

Duty-free is a separate part of the route-to-market described on the 2026-27 presentation slides. The company reports 20 international and 23 Indian duty-free locations, a combined 43 locations across those two categories. In 2026, it also launched Indri ilika as a global travel retail exclusive, connecting a specific product release with the travel-retail channel.

Which Indri products are in the displayed range?

Indri’s displayed product range contains 12 entries, from its Trini three-wood expression to the Diwali Collector’s Edition 2026 with a ruby port cask. The range also includes Dru cask strength, Single Cask, House of The Dragon Exclusive Edition, Founder’s Reserve 11 YO, Agneya peated, two City Series duty-free editions, Rudhira and ilika.

The 2026 product timeline records three Indri launches: Rudhra, ilika and the Diwali Collectors Edition 2026. The product-range slide spells one entry “Rudhira,” whereas the timeline calls the 2026 launch “Rudhra”; the presentation does not explain whether these labels refer to the same release. It identifies ilika as a global travel retail exclusive, while the City Series includes Bengaluru, Dubai and Mumbai duty-free editions.

Indri Trini carries the “three wood” designation and is shown at 46% alcohol by volume in a 750 millilitre bottle. The presentation attributes the triple-wood profile to maturation in three distinct wood types and says the whisky matures near the Himalayan foothills at Indri, Haryana. It also says the brand uses premium six-row Indian barley from Rajasthan, linking the product description to domestic sourcing and maturation.

How do awards and production feature in Indri’s positioning?

Indri had won 150 of Piccadily’s 209 total reported brand awards from 2022 through September 30, 2026. That total places Indri ahead of Camikara with 47 awards, Cashmir with nine and Whistler with three in the company’s brand-by-brand award table.

The presentation lists Indri recognition across five award programmes and multiple years: Whiskies of the World in 2022, 2023 and 2024; The Spirits Business in 2022, 2024 and 2025; and World Whiskies Awards in 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026. It also lists Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards from 2022 through 2025 and Tokyo Whisky and Spirits Competition from 2023 through 2026.

On product credentials, the company says Indri holds a score of 99.1 out of 100 at the Las Vegas Global Spirits Awards. It describes the brand as made in a village in Haryana and says the local climate creates a tropical maturation profile. These are company descriptions of Indri’s production and provenance, rather than independently quantified measures of sales performance.

Conclusion

Indri’s presentation combines a domestic ranking claim with a stated international distribution footprint. IWSR volume labels show No. 1 malt-whisky status in India for both 2024 and 2025, while the company reports 33 countries, 43 duty-free locations across international and Indian channels, and 150 awards through September 30, 2026.

The next disclosed development to watch is the 2026 release set, particularly Indri ilika’s global travel-retail exclusivity and the Diwali Collectors Edition 2026 with its ruby port cask. The presentation also leaves unresolved the sales volumes and market shares behind the 2024 and 2025 IWSR rankings, because it provides neither measure alongside the two-year leadership claim.
