The acquisition would give AWL exclusive rights over the brand ‘Kohinoor’ basmati rice along with ‘Ready to Cook’, ‘Ready to Eat’ curries, and meals portfolio under the Kohinoor Brand umbrella in India. The brand portfolio comprises “Kohinoor” for premium Basmati rice, “Charminar” for affordable rice, and “Trophy” for the hotels, restaurants, and catering (HORECA) segment.

After this acquisition, AWL will strengthen its position with a 12 per cent market share in basmati rice. AWL’s Fortune had a 6.5 per cent market share and Kohinoor 5.2 per cent.

However, even after the buy, the combined entities will trail the market leaders India Gate. It has a 33 per cent market share, and Daawat has about 23 per cent market share.

Kohinoor is one of the trusted brands which represents the flavors of India and is well received by consumers, Angshu Mallick, chief executive officer, and managing director, Adani Wilmar, said.

“This acquisition is in sync with our business strategy to expand our portfolio in the higher margin branded staples and food products segment. We believe the packaged food category is under-penetrated with significant headroom for growth. The Kohinoor brand has a strong brand recall and will help accelerate our position in the Food FMCG category,” he added.
