United Breweries Ltd has revealed plans to shut down its brewery in Ludhiana, Punjab, from June 30. The decision comes after entering into a long-term capacity lease agreement with a contract brewing entity.

The agreement ensures a steady supply of beer for Punjab and adjoining regions, including Delhi, according to a regulatory filing. By closing the Ludhiana unit, United Breweries aims to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability within the state.
