UB Group chairman Vijay Mallya. United Spirits expects the shutting down of unit not to affect the company. Liquor major United Spirits has shut down its manufacturing unit at Hooghly, West Bengal citing space constraints and other operational issues.
In a Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) filing, the company said that the manufacturing activities at its unit have been discontinued with effect from February 28, 2015.
United Spirits, which is now controlled by Diageo Plc, said that it does not expect the discontinuation of manufacturing activities at the Hooghly unit to have any significant impact on the operations of the company.
All the issues pertaining to employees and workmen have been amicably settled in accordance with law, the company added.
