From the proceeds of the issue, the company also proposes to deploy a part of the funds as capital expenditure to expand the capacity of its distillery from the present 35 KLPD to 100 KLPD leading to an increase in its IMFL production capacity from 2,500 boxes per day to 5,000 boxes per day.

For the year ended March 31, 2011, the company had a total income of Rs 47,496 lakh and net profit after tax of Rs 4,300 lakh as compared to total income of Rs 41,528 lakh and net profit after tax of Rs 1,795 lakh for the year ended March 31, 2010.
