India’s Made-in-India single malt whisky market reached an estimated 5 lakh cases in 2025, led by domestic labels with 92% share. Premiumisation, new launches and authenticity certification are strengthening the category, while imports remain significant.

Why this matters

The estimate reinforces recent signals that Indian single malts hit about 5 lakh cases in 2025 and that demand has outstripped supply after sales surged sixfold since 2020.
