The wine made at Rampur Distillery, a unit of Radico Khaitan, is being exported to nearly 60 countries with growing demand from the US and African nations, a senior company official has said.
The distillery has been exporting wines to countries such as Germany, Italy, Holland, England and the Netherlands and "now American and African countries have urged us to enhance the supplies of Rampur made liquor," Radico Khaitan Director K P Singh told PTI.
"Rampur Distillery stands at first position in the country as far as liquor production and the quantum of its exports is concerned," he added.
In 2013, annual liquor production in the distillery extracted from molasses stood at 1.50 crore litres, 3 crore litres from grains such as rice, millet and jwar and 10 lakh litres from another course grain barley, Singh said.
"On the basis of our production, we pay Rs 4 crore as taxes everyday and Rs 1,500 crore every year to the government," Singh claimed.
He further said that the material left behind after production of alcohol is recycled which generates gas and electricity and after attaining two sources of power its remaining material is used to produce 5,000 bags of fertiliser everyday.
