Hyderabad, July 17, 2026: United Breweries Limited (UBL), India's leading brewer and part of the HEINEKEN
Company, today announced the successful commissioning of its new canning line at its Nizam Brewery in
Telangana. Completed in a record time from groundbreaking to the first product trial, the project reinforces
UBL's commitment to building future-ready manufacturing capabilities.
The new canning line, commissioned as part of the ₹90 crore investment announced in 2025, has successfully
commenced production with its first trial run of Kingfisher Ultra cans. The facility increases the brewery's
annual production capacity by 0.4 million hectolitres, taking the total capacity from 0.5 million hectolitres to
0.9 million hectolitres. It will primarily support UBL's growing premium portfolio, including Kingfisher,
Kingfisher Ultra and Heineken®, catering to the increasing consumer preference for beer in cans.
The investment reflects UBL's continued confidence in the growth potential of the beer category in Telangana
and its commitment to premiumization. By expanding local canning capacity, the new line will enable the
company to better serve evolving consumer preferences, strengthen supply chain resilience and support the
long-term growth of its premium portfolio.
The project was completed without any disruption to existing bottle production, reflecting meticulous
planning, seamless execution and close collaboration across functions. The expansion also incorporated
several value engineering initiatives, including the reuse of existing infrastructure and innovative operational
solutions, enabling faster execution while optimizing costs.
Commenting on the milestone, Vivek Gupta, Managing Director & CEO, United Breweries Limited, said,
"The successful commissioning of the new canning line at our Nizam Brewery is an important milestone in
strengthening our manufacturing footprint and enhancing our ability to serve evolving consumer preferences.

exceptional cross-functional collaboration, the new facility strengthens our supply chain, supports our
growing premium portfolio and positions us for sustainable long-term growth. We are grateful to the
Government of Telangana and the local authorities for their continued support and timely approvals, which
made this milestone possible."
