What these companies have in common · written by the model
Six Indian liquor makers riding premium whisky and beer demand; concentrated in two giants.
The kept basket is six Indian alcoholic beverage makers spanning IMFL, spirits, and beer, which together capture the premiumisation trend in drinking habits. Two large caps, United Spirits and Radico Khaitan, make up about 71% of combined market cap, so the basket's valuation and returns track those two names. The group is low-leverage on average, but earnings are cyclical with excise and state-level pricing policy.

Risks of holding them together
Concentration: United Spirits and Radico Khaitan together dominate combined market cap, so single-name moves drive the basket.
Regulatory and excise exposure: state excise policies, prohibition risk, and pricing controls can compress margins across all six names.
Valuation: median P/E of about 82x (loss-making names excluded) leaves little room for earnings disappointment.
Mixed momentum: 1-year returns range from about -42% to +52%, with SDBL and UBL down sharply while RADICO and ABDL are up.
