Our Heritage
JIL has the unique distinction of being one of the largest integrated distilleries manufacturing potable alcohol in Asia, and the first in India with in-house facilities for producing molasses and non-molasses based potable alcohol from fully automated distillation plants.
Jagatjit Industries Limited’s guiding philosophy – “A Heritage of Quality” – finds expression at all levels of its activities: quality in manufacturing, technology and in its relationships with its employees, dealers and customers.
In 2015, Roshini Sanah Jaiswal took over as Promoter and Chief Restructuring Officer, taking upon her shoulders a – at the time – seventy-one year old legacy. Driving change, and keeping with JIL’s belief in embracing modernisation to keep abreast of changing times and trends, Ms Jaiswal has upgraded the company’s technology and automation capabilities to increase efficiencies, ensuring agility and dynamism in thought and deed.
JIL is constantly taking steps towards redefining its methodologies and rejuvenating its brands, by expertly balancing the richness of its legacy with the dynamism of the digital age. The idea is to provide value in all aspects of its business in order to script a story of being market leaders.

CRO And Promoter
Over our enriching journey of more than seventy years in liquor manufacturing, what we have learnt is to embrace modernization, to keep up with the changing trends. A legacy like ours demands passion and ownership that cannot be overlooked. While a lot did change over the last decade, we are once again scripting a story of being market leaders. At Jagatjit, we have been undergoing a massive restructuring, that started in 2014. As a part of the restructuring, we have upgraded our technology & automation to increase efficiencies and revamped our culture and even our physical offices. There has been prime focus on marketing our brands to regain market share and spends have increased on developing creative, experimental and experiential marketing campaigns.
We are laser focused on evolving our business to deliver more value for our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. We at Jagatjit value our relations with our stakeholders, dealers and consumers. Our vision is to develop a ‘Heritage of Quality’ for our people that have encouraged us to take steps towards redefining our methodologies and relooking our brands.
The next few years will prove to be exciting times for Jagatjit Industries as we continue to transform our business. The idea is to focus on sales, managing costs, and being focused on providing value to our customers. As a part of this transformation we are also working towards developing a diverse, engaged and collaborative work culture.
