United Breweries Shares Rises On Resuming Beer Supply To Telangana

United Breweries has announced that it will resume beer supply to the Telangana Beverages Corporation Ltd. with immediate effect.

This move comes after the earlier disclosure made on January 8, 2025. The resumption of supply is expected to positively impact the availability of beer in the region, benefiting both the company and the consumers alike.
