If the deal materializes, Chhabria would be the majority shareholder, while Tilaknagar chairman Amit Dahanukar will retain a sizable minority interest, in a combined entity that could be valued at $1 billion. Chhabria has 95% stake in ABD, which owns the top selling Indian whiskey brand Officer's Choice. While the Dahanukar family controls 56% stake in Tilaknagar Industries, makers of Mansion House brandy.
