High Court Stays FSSAI Ban on ASALCBR Whiskey and Rum Brands
Associated Alcohols & Breweries Ltd. (ASALCBR) has secured a stay from the Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh against an FSSAI order that prohibited the sale of one Whiskey and one Rum brand. The stay order, dated August 6, 2026, and received on August 12, 2026, allows the company to continue sales of these products for now. This is a significant relief for the company, which reported TTM revenue of Rs 1,030 Cr and relies heavily on its established market position in Madhya Pradesh. While the specific revenue contribution of these two brands was not disclosed, the stay mitigates immediate regulatory risk to the product portfolio.

FSSAI Prohibits Sale of One Whiskey and One Rum Brand Over Labeling Issues
