India: United Breweries receives environmental clearance for greenfield brewery in Uttar Pradesh
|
United Breweries Limited has received environmental clearance for its proposed greenfield brewery in Uttar Pradesh, the company informed stock exchanges on March 18.
The clearance, granted on March 17, 2026, comes under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 by the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Uttar Pradesh, operating under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The proposed facility will be set up at the Industrial Manufacturing & Logistics Cluster in Unnao, with an annual production capacity of 1.3 million hectolitres. The approval is subject to certain conditions, the company said in its filing.
The disclosure was made under Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The development follows earlier intimations made by the company in February and November 2025 regarding the project.
United Breweries said the intimation has been made to stock exchanges in the interest of transparency.
On the financial front, United Breweries reported an improvement in operational performance for the December quarter, even as revenue growth remained modest and volumes declined amid a colder-than-usual winter.
UBL’s revenue rose 3.6% year-on-year to ₹2,072.72 crore in Q3FY26, while its profit after tax more than doubled, rising 110.7% YoY to ₹81.15 crore.

UK: UK beer prices could go up due to Iran war
|
Beer drinkers in the UK may soon find the price of a pint edging upwards as turmoil linked to the Iran conflict feeds into global energy markets. Brent crude has climbed to around $103 a barrel, equivalent to about £82, while European gas prices have also moved higher amid attacks on energy infrastructure and disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, The Drinks Business reported on March 19.
According to Molly Monks, insolvency expert at Parker Walsh, the drinks trade is unusually sensitive to such shifts. “Beer businesses are particularly vulnerable when oil and gas prices rise because the impact is felt at several different points in the chain,” she said.
She explained that cost increases will impact beer very soon. “We would expect the impact to begin feeding through relatively quickly, often within a matter of weeks rather than months, particularly where businesses are not locked into fixed energy contracts,” she told db. “The first pressure points are typically at the production and distribution stages, where brewers face higher energy costs for brewing, refrigeration and storage, alongside increased fuel costs for transport.
She continued: “Those increases then move through to pubs and bars, which are also highly exposed to rising energy

Japan: Suntory produces first hydrogen-distilled whisky
|
Suntory Global Sprits has announced the successful production of the first-ever direct-fired hydrogen fuel-distilled spirit for whisky production at its Yamazaki Pilot Distillery in Japan, the Harpers Wine & Spirit reported on March 18.
This represents the completion of the WhiskHy project, a collaborative effort between Suntory, Supercritical (a UK-based renewable hydrogen technology company) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
Thanks to the developments achieved by the project, Supercritical’s electrolyser – which produces high quality green hydrogen – was scaled up from a lab-based technology to an industrially feasible ‘multi-cell’ system.
The technology has the potential to radically cut the carbon emissions of direct-fired distilling – a traditional method where a direct flame is used to heat the still – if green hydrogen is used.
It was supported by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), as part of the Green Distilleries Programme – targeted at supporting green tech in the sector.
It received a £2.94m award from the government’s £1b Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
Supercritical said this support was critical for scaling the technology, where it was proven to be viable through a trial in 2024 (as Harpers reported).
The whisky created is now maturing. Preliminary assessments have shown no notable difference in
