India's top beer-consumer state Telangana has allowed beer prices to be increased from Tuesday, weeks after a brief halt in supply by Heineken's Indian unit United Breweries over pricing issues. The order also directed that all existing stock be sold at the revised rates from Tuesday.

Telangana government raises beer prices by 15%, welcomed by Brewers Association. BAI urges CM to clear outstanding dues to the industry.

The decision was made due to the non-revision of the company's beer prices since 2019-20 leading to significant losses in the state, UBL stated in a regulatory filing.

The recent price increase was welcomed by the Brewers Association of India, though it noted the hike was below industry expectations and did not cover the rising production costs.

India's Telangana state has allowed beer prices to be increased from Tuesday and has directed that all existing stock to be sold at the revised rates, according to a government order. Heineken's Indian unit United Breweries had last month halted supply briefly over pricing and non-payment of dues by the state government.
