The suspension of supply to Telangana could meaningfully impact near-term earning, given operational deleverage. But United Breweries’ ask is reasonable, Kotak said.

United Breweries Ltd has halted beer supply to Telangana Beverages Corporation Ltd due to a longstanding issue over unrevised pricing since 2019-20, leading to substantial losses. Additionally, unpaid dues from the corporation have contributed to making the supply financially unfeasible.

United Breweries said the unpaid dues by Telangana Beverages Corp had made the continued supply of the company's beer to the state-owned beverage firm "unviable."

TGBCL's failure to revise the basic price of the company’s beer since fiscal 2020 is one of the reasons behind the suspension, United Breweries said.

The decision has been taken due to the non-revision of the basic price of the company's beer from 2019-20 by Telangana Beverages Corporation, resulting in huge losses in the state

Shares of United Breweries dropped 4 per cent on 8 January after the company confirmed the suspension of beer supplies to Telangana Beverages Corporation Limited (TGBCL). The decision was attributed to financial losses stemming from TGBCL's failure to revise the basic price of beer since 2019-20 and significant overdue payments for past supplies.
