United Breweries Limited has received a GST Demand Order dated February 26, 2026 from the Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise, Raigad-Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The total demand is ₹31.88 crore, comprising ₹15.94 crore in GST plus an equivalent penalty. The dispute covers two issues: (i) taxability of assignment of leasehold land in Navi Mumbai, and (ii) classification of Non-Alcoholic Beverages (NAB). The company had already deposited ₹11.12 crore under protest before proceedings began. UBL says it has strong grounds to defend its position and is evaluating judicial and appellate remedies to challenge the order.
This is a material tax demand that could pressure earnings if upheld after appeal, though UBL has already parked ₹11.12 crore and management expects to win on appeal. Near-term stock sentiment may turn cautious pending clarity on the next legal step.
