Replaces 18 per cent of its electricity with solar power at Crown brewery in the State, following similar efforts at Mysore and Aurangabad facilities

Hyderabad: Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) India’s Crown brewery in Telangana has made a shift to solar power, augmenting its adoption of greener electricity across its brewing operations.

The adoption of renewable electricity in its third brewery contributes towards AB InBev’s global commitment to secure 100 per cent of the company’s purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2025. The brewer’s facilities in Mysore and Aurangabad had earlier partially switched to renewable electricity.
