MEBL is the No. 1 brewery in Madhya Pradesh. The company's Simrol plant near Indore has been the anchor of its operations since 1999, and it has consistently strengthened its leadership position in the state for more than two decades. This dominance forms the foundation of MEBL's national expansion strategy.

MEBL established its Simrol brewery in just nine months, a milestone the company refers to as its first "summit moment." This achievement reflected the agility, execution capability, and ambition that continue to drive MEBL's growth and capacity expansion initiatives today.
