India’s UBL closes Ludhiana brewery and leases capacity instead
India | United Breweries (UBL), best known for its Kingfisher lager, will close its Ludhiana brewery in Punjab by 30 June, the firm announced on 18 May. The move follows a long-term capacity lease agreement with a yet unnamed contract brewer. This arrangement ensures continued beer supply across northern India, the firm said. The strategic shift towards an asset-light model aims to boost flexibility and cut costs.
