Rajasthan's pollution control board revoked Carlsberg India's operating consent for its Alwar brewery due to particulate emissions nearly eight times above the permitted limit. The closure order follows insufficient pollution-monitoring data submission by the brewery. Supplies to Rajasthan may be affected but impact is expected to be limited as closure comes after peak summer. The move coincides with Carlsberg India's $700 million IPO plans.
