Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
The new plant will be the sole supply node for UBD’s core markets of Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Daman & Diu
Uppal Brewers & Distillers (UBD), the premium beverage arm of The Uppal Group, has commenced dedicated production operations in Ponda, Goa, marking its transition toward scaled commercial output. The move follows the launch of its flagship label Soorahi in January 2025 and Madhvan in August 2025.
The new facility spans 50,000 sq. ft. across a 2-acre site and will function as UBD’s primary production hub. It is designed to support portfolio expansion while maintaining quality standards associated with its premium positioning.
The Ponda plant will serve as the sole supply node for Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Daman & Diu. It will also support the company’s planned expansion into Odisha and other eastern markets.
According to Co-founder Kanhav Uppal, the dedicated unit marks a shift from the foundational phase to a stage focused on operational stability, scale, and long-term growth in India’s craft beverage segment.
