Who owns TAJ MAHAL BEER?

TAJ MAHAL BEER is owned by

HEINEKEN N.V.

Taj Mahal Beer was introduced by United Breweries in Bangalore, India in 1983. At the time, the company was headed by Vijay Mallya. Vijay Mallya has been called “the King of Good Times” due to his extravagant lifestyle, and has been a major shareholder in several other businesses as well. In 2005, United Breweries Group founded an airline based off of their main brand, Kingfisher, called Kingfisher Airlines Limited. It eventually grew to be the second largest Indian domestic airliner, but substantial losses caused it to fold in 2012. In 2021, Mallya fled India after facing sanctions over the failed airline business, as well as his over $1.1 billion in outstanding loans. The government then sold his 15% stake in the business to Heineken to recover the loans, which raised their overall share to 61.5% and granted them control of United Breweries.
