The new facility will be the brewery's first canning line and will have a production capacity of 40,000 cans per hour. The addition will complement its existing bottling operations and give UBL greater flexibility to meet changing consumer preferences, particularly the rising demand for canned beer.

The investment is also expected to improve capacity utilisation and operational efficiency at the brewery. Ellora Brewery currently has packaging capacity of up to 1.5 million cases per month, allowing UBL to adjust its packaging mix according to market demand while strengthening its presence in Maharashtra's beer market.
