Officials from DeVANS Modern Breweries announced that the firm has partnered with Vairagi Brewery in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, to increase production capacity by 24,000 KL, or two million cases annually.

Less than a year has passed since the company greatly increased its manufacturing capacity through collaborations with producers in Jharkhand and Arunachal Pradesh.

"Uttar Pradesh is a huge beer market and DeVANS was finding it increasingly difficult to feed the market to its full potential due to capacity constraints. The Vairagi production tie up would go a long way in helping us in meeting the demand for our beers in the State," Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director, DeVANS Modern Breweries Ltd, said.

He said that the production partnership would also help the company avoid additional costs of import duties and freight and also enhance our overall production capacity to 1,80,600 KL.
