Carlsberg India, the Indian arm of the renowned Danish brewer with a 178-year heritage, has reinforced its commitment to Karnataka with a significant investment. On the opening day of Invest Karnataka 2025, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Karnataka, paving the way for expansion and growth in the state.
The investment, worth Rs. 350 crore, will be directed towards enhancing Carlsberg India’s Mysuru brewery in Nanjangud taluk. The expansion includes the addition of a new can line, glass line, and keg line, boosting production capacity to meet growing consumer demand. With this, Carlsberg India’s total investment in Karnataka will reach Rs. 600 crore.
Spread across 28 acres, the Mysuru brewery currently produces 80 million liters annually, manufacturing Carlsberg and Tuborg products. Sustainability remains central to its operations, with over 85% of its electricity sourced from renewable energy and a fully LED-lit facility for enhanced energy efficiency.
Nilesh Patel, Managing Director, Carlsberg India, highlighted the strategic importance of Karnataka, stating, “This expansion reaffirms our long-term commitment to the state. Beyond increasing production, our investment will drive economic growth and create new employment opportunities.”
With a strong focus on sustainability, responsible consumption, and community engagement, Carlsberg India continues to build on its legacy of brewing excellence, contributing to the growth of both the Indian beer industry and the local economy.
