Cupid Limited (cupid) Q1 FY27: Revenue Exceeding ₹150 Cr
Cupid Limited (CUPID) set to deliver revenue exceeding ₹150 Cr in Q1 FY27, management revises medium-term growth outlook upwards.
Cupid Limited (Cupid, The Company), Bharat’s rapidly growing consumer wellness and personal care company, is on track to deliver revenue exceeding ₹150 Cr in the first quarter of FY27, marking one of the strongest quarterly performances in the Company’s history. This exceptional start to the financial year and improved visibility across international & domestic markets have led the management to revise its FY27 revenue outlook upwards by a minimum of 10%.
Key Growth Drivers
The revised FY27 revenue outlook is supported by multiple long-term growth drivers:
Expanding opportunities across international B2B healthcare markets, driven by rising demand from institutional buyers, private sector customers, and government procurement programmes.
Successful commencement of the Company’s long-term supply agreement with Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM), Netherlands, strengthening its position in global healthcare procurement.
Strong order visibility across private markets, institutional business, and international tenders spanning multiple geographies.
Continued growth in the Male Condom (MC) and Female Condom (FC) businesses, supported by enhanced manufacturing capabilities, customer acquisition, and wider market reach over the past twelve months.
Growing opportunities in the lubricant portfolio, backed by increasing acceptance across both institutional and consumer channels.
Significant long-term potential in the consumer business as the Company continues to build a mainstream personal care and wellness brand with an expanding presence across modern trade, organised retail, and pharmacy networks across Bharat.
Ongoing capacity expansion, operational efficiencies, and backward integration initiatives expected to support sustained growth while improving profitability.
Active participation in IVD kits and menstrual cup tenders across multiple states. The Company also continues to make steady progress in its In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) business.
Commenting on the Company’s performance, Mr. Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, Chairman & Managing Director, Cupid Limited, said, ‘Our strong start to FY27 reflects the transformation Cupid has undergone over the past few years. We have built a diversified business with multiple growth engines that are now beginning to scale together. We are seeing strong momentum across our international B2B business, supported by expanding opportunities in private markets, institutional procurement, and government tenders across the world. Our strategic relationship with PFSCM has commenced on a very encouraging note and further strengthens our long-term position in global healthcare procurement. Over the past twelve months, we have significantly strengthened our Male Condom and Female Condom businesses through enhanced manufacturing capabilities, customer acquisition, and wider market reach. At the same time, our lubricants portfolio continues to gain traction across both institutional and consumer segments. On the consumer side, we remain focused on building Cupid into a trusted mainstream personal care and wellness brand. We see significant long-term opportunities across modern trade, organised retail, and pharmacy channels as we continue to expand our presence across Bharat. Our IVD business remains an exciting growth opportunity. While our current internal projections for this vertical remain deliberately conservative, we believe it has the potential to become a meaningful contributor to Cupid’s growth over the coming years as our product portfolio expands and commercialisation progresses. Given the strength of our current order book, improving visibility across international markets, and the wide range of opportunities ahead, we have revised our medium-term revenue outlook upward. At the same time, we believe our projections remain conservative, leaving room for additional upside as execution continues and new opportunities materialise. We also expect our profit margins to remain strong, supported by favourable USD-INR realisations and an overall upward trend in pricing. On net profit margins, we are confident of delivering performance ahead of our current guidance. In addition, we plan to operationalise our new Palava manufacturing facility in the coming quarter, further strengthening our production capabilities and supporting future growth. As always, we remain committed to disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation, and creating sustainable long-term value for all our stakeholders.’
Cupid Limited enters the remainder of FY27 with one of the strongest order books and opportunity pipelines in its history. Backed by expanding global demand, a diversified business portfolio, growing manufacturing capabilities, and continued investments across healthcare, personal care, and wellness, the Company is well positioned to deliver sustainable long-term growth. Management believes the Company is entering a new phase of growth, with multiple business verticals expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue and profitability in the years ahead.

Empowering Dairy Farmers

Leveraging Government Schemes

Radico Khaitan Limited Expands Global Reach: Indian Luxury Whisky Brands Land in the Home of Scotch
Radico Khaitan Limited, RADICO, expands its luxury whisky brands to four major UK airports, marking a significant milestone in global travel retail.
Radico Khaitan Limited, one of India’s leading spirits companies, is taking its portfolio of Indian luxury spirits to four major UK airports, becoming the first Indian spirit brands to be available across these airports’ duty-free shops. It marks a significant step in its Global Travel Retail (GTR) expansion strategy. The Company’s premium brands, including Rampur Indian Single Malt Double Cask, Rampur Asava, Rampur Barrel Blush and Sangam World Malt, now available to international travelers at Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Birmingham airports.
Global Expansion Strategy
Radico Khaitan’s global travel retail expansion comes against the backdrop of strong momentum in its premium and luxury portfolio. Its Prestige & Above portfolio contributed 70.3% of IMFL value in FY26, reflecting the growing importance of premiumisation to the company’s business.
Strategic Importance
Commenting on the development, Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan, said “Our international ambition is not simply about increasing the number of airports in which we operate. It is about building meaningful brand presence and ensuring that Indian spirits are experienced in the right environments, by consumers who appreciate provenance, craftsmanship and distinctive character. This entry is an important milestone in our journey to take Indian luxury to the world. Global Travel Retail gives us the opportunity to connect with consumers from different parts of the world and showcase the depth, diversity and evolving quality of Indian spirits.”
Market Opportunity
These four airports together handled over 170 million passengers in 2025. Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, recorded approximately 84.5 million passengers, while Gatwick, Manchester, and Birmingham handled approximately 42.8 million, 32.1 million, and 13.7 million passengers, respectively. Together, these airports represent a substantial opportunity to increase the visibility and accessibility of Indian luxury spirits in global travel retail.
Sanjeev Banga, President – International Business, Radico Khaitan, added “There is a certain charm in taking Indian whisky to the home of Scotch whisky. We are not asking the world to choose between Scotch and Indian whisky. We are simply making sure that Indian whisky gets a seat at the table, and perhaps a place on the airport shelf as well. This is an exciting opportunity to show travelers that the world of whisky has room for more than one accent, and this time, the accent is unmistakably Indian.”
The portfolio entering the UK airport network reflects Radico Khaitan’s focus on combining Indian provenance with global standards of craftsmanship. Rampur Indian Single Malt, crafted at the Rampur Distillery established in 1943, draws on the distinctive climate of the Himalayan foothills. The portfolio includes expressions such as Double Cask, Asava, and Barrel Blush, each offering a different interpretation of Indian single malt whisky. Sangam World Malt further strengthens the Company’s premium whisky offering, contributing to Radico Khaitan’s broader strategy of building a diversified portfolio of Indian luxury spirits for international consumers.
The expansion marks a landmark giant step in Radico Khaitan’s long-term international growth strategy, with Global Travel Retail expected to play an increasingly important role in strengthening brand visibility, encouraging trial and building recognition for Indian spirits among global travelers.

Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited (SDBL) receives favorable court judgment on excise licence renewal, paving way for operations resumption.
Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited (SDBL) has received a significant court judgment on the renewal of its key excise licences. This ruling, passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh on September 24, 2026, is a crucial step towards restoring normal operations at its Madhya Pradesh facilities.

Operational Resumption
The renewal of these licences is an important step towards restoring normal operations at the Bhopal plant and strengthening the company’s ability to serve its core markets. The favourable order is expected to have a positive impact on the financial position of the company and will allow it to resume operations from its Bhopal plant, thus generating sales from Madhya Pradesh.
Legal and Financial Implications
The court also awarded costs of Rs. 1 lakh payable to SDBL by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. This ruling preserves the company’s right to pursue damages/losses arising from the period of operational closure before an appropriate forum. The company remains focused on restoration and normalization of operations, efficient utilization of its manufacturing capacities, and improving working-capital efficiency.
As a result, SDBL is working closely with the relevant authorities to complete the renewal process within the timeframe directed by the Hon’ble Court. The company remains committed to conducting its business in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis of Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited
Som Distilleries & Breweries Limited belongs to the Consumer Defensive › Beverages – Brewers sector. Here’s a quick read on where the business and the stock stand today.
Som trades in the lower quarter of its 52-week range. Razor-thin margins below 5% make profitability extremely vulnerable — this business needs scale or pricing power urgently. No meaningful dividend — total return is entirely dependent on capital appreciation. The stock sits at 17% of its 52-week range, close to annual lows. Historically, value investors build positions at these levels — though cheap stocks can stay cheap. Revenue grows at 14.2% CAGR and the PEG stands at 99.00. The growth does not match the price the market asks. Furthermore, flat price action adds no technical catalyst. A lower price or faster revenue growth would improve the odds.
