Pernod is speaking with potential advisers as it weighs the merits of a separate listing for Pernod Ricard India, the Bloomberg report said, adding that deliberations are at a preliminary stage.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Pernod Ricard did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company, which is the maker of brands such as Chivas Regal and Absolut Vodka, is one of India’s biggest liquor players and competes with Diageo in the Indian alcohol market.
The news comes as Pernod faces antitrust cases in India and a high-profile case where authorities allege suspected violations of New Delhi’s liquor regulations. The company denies any wrongdoing.
Pernod’s shares have risen nearly 12% in Paris so far this year, valuing the company at around $24.4 billion. The stock lost nearly 33% of its value in 2025. (Reporting by Chandni Shah in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)
