The draft notification proposes to double the excise duty on strong beer to Rs 20 per bulk litre, increase the minimum billing price for beer in the state to Rs 300 per case and Additional Excise Duty (AED) to 195 per cent of the billing price or Rs 130 per bulk litre whichever is higher.

Dutch beer maker Heineken NV witnessed a 4.5 per cent volume growth in its premium category led by flagship brand Heineken along with significant contributions from Kingfisher Ultra in India and Savanna in Southern Africa in the September quarter, company's Chairman and CEO Dolf van den Brink said on Wednesday.

"We delivered a solid quarter of balanced growth, organically growing beer volume 0.7 per cent and net revenue 3.3 per cent. Our business continues to deliver in line with our plan in aggregate, despite some markets navigating challenging consumer and industry trends," van den Brink said in a statement.

DeVANS Modern Breweries has entered into a production tie-up with Vairagi Brewery in UP's Barabanki, further enhancing its production capacity by 24,000 KL, amounting to 2 million cases per year, company officials said.
