'Beer industry sees near double-digit growth, but margins under pressure'

India's beer industry is witnessing a positive momentum, with sales growing at almost double-digit rates over the past few months, driven by favourable state-level reforms and weather conditions, said United Breweries Ltd (UBL) Managing Director and CEO Vivek Gupta . However, Gupta noted that despite the robust sales growth, the company's profitability continues to face pressure due to elevated input costs. "The trends in the beer category are positive, driven by good reforms in states like Karnataka and Maharashtra, and also by weather," Gupta told PTI on the sidelines of an event here. However, he also added that the beer industry remains under "severe cost pressure" on account of the impact of the ongoing global conflict on the prices of glass bottles, cans and imported materials, along with an unfavourable exchange rate, all of which have pushed up the cost of doing business. The overall industry is in a good shape from a top-line perspective, though there is impact on the ...

Beer industry in 'major trouble' as costs rise amid Iran war: UBL CEO

The Indian beer industry is facing a "major trouble" amid rising input costs triggered by the war, supply shortages, and restrictions on pricing imposed by state governments, said United Breweries Ltd (UBL) Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Vivek Gupta. Urging for government intervention, he said the lack of regulatory support could stall growth and innovation in the sector and make it difficult to meet the promises. "I think the beer industry is in major trouble right now because of the war and the financial impact it has on input costs and the inability to take pricing without government approval," Gupta told PTI. The government has to come forward and support the domestic beer industry, otherwise it will stall innovation. The impact on beer is disproportionately higher than any other industry, he said. "There is a significantly bigger impact of war on our industry because of cost increase on bottles, raw materials, (Indian rupee against) dollar not being great, expo
