The licences and the approvals behind them
The company has received manufacturing licences for its Bhopal Plant from the Excise Department of Madhya Pradesh. It has also obtained approvals for product labels and the applicable rates for its finished goods, which the company says are an essential prerequisite for the commencement of manufacturing and sales operations.
The company says it is in the final stage of operational readiness and is hopeful of resuming manufacturing and commencing sales from the Bhopal Plant by early next week. In its words, the renewal of these licences is an important step towards restoring normal operations at the Bhopal Plant and strengthening its ability to serve its core markets.
The company says the licence will enable it to produce and sell its own products, leading to future growth. The licence remains valid in accordance with the applicable provisions of law, and the filing gives no fixed validity period.
How this fits the company
The company's latest reported quarter, Q1 FY27 on a consolidated basis, showed total income of ₹609.42 crore, down 31.2% year on year, and net profit of ₹1.56 crore, down 96.3%. The company's recent Blacklitt article on 30 Oct 2026 covered a Supreme Court reaffirmation of its licence renewal.
What the licences mean for Som Distilleries And Breweries' shareholders
The filing says the approval is expected to have a positive impact on the company's financial position. The company says it will inform the exchanges of the actual monetary impact in line with the disclosure rules. The filing does not state the monetary impact, the validity period or expiry date of the licences, the date they were granted, the reason operations at the Bhopal Plant were halted, or the date operations will actually resume.
The next step the filing gives is the company's stated hope to resume manufacturing and sales by early next week.
