In a major boost to India’s beverage ecosystem, INOXCVA’s Made-in-India stainless steel kegs recently received audit approvals from two of the world’s largest brewery brands – Heineken and ABinBev – for its stainless-steel beverage kegs manufactured at its Savli Plant in Gujarat. This milestone, achieved just a few quarters after the company entered the keg manufacturing segment in September 2023, underscores company’s strength in quality, scale, and global compliance—backed by more than three decades of expertise in stainless steel and advanced welding.
Industry experts note that the stainless-steel kegs mark a turning point for freshness, distribution efficiency, and consumer experience — signalling a new era of innovation for the Indian beverage sector.
INOXCVA kegs are globally recognized for quality standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and FSSC 22000 certified, ensuring the highest food and beverage safety standards.
Offering wide range of stainless-steel beverage kegs in EURO, DIN, SLIM, and USA-standard (BBL) formats, these kegs are suitable for beer, wine, cider, juice, cocktail, nitro beverages, kombucha, coffee, and more – offering versatility across beverage categories.
Deepak Acharya, Chief Executive Officer – INOX India Limited (INOXCVA) shared, “These approvals from two of the world’s leading breweries mark a defining moment in our journey into the beverage keg space. It validates our belief in our manufacturing prowess and reinforces our position as a credible, high-quality, and future-ready partner for the global beverage industry.”
Taking brewing to new gastronomic heights, INOXCVA’s kegs have already established their global presence with showcases at expos in the USA, Belgium, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. They are set to be featured next at Drink Japan in December.
He further added: “Through our collaboration with Italy’s Supermonte Group, we manufacture kegs that meet the rigorous standards of multinational breweries while significantly reducing environmental impact.”
Recently, they captured national attention after a standout Indian debut at Drinktec India 2025. Positioned to transform how beverages are stored and served, these innovative kegs drew strong interest from brewers, breweries, wineries, non-alcoholic beverage makers, and leading alcohol brands exploring next-generation dispensing solutions.
Deepak Acharya said: “At INOXCVA, we don’t just build containers — we deliver reliable, sustainable packaging solutions engineered for performance and trusted worldwide. With over three decades of excellence in cryogenic engineering, we now bring our stainless steel with a powerful sustainability edge and precision welding expertise to the beverage packaging industry.”
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by Deloitte compared the environmental impact of various beer container options. The study found that steel kegs consistently outperform other formats across environmental indicators due to the inherent advantages of reusability and circularity. From a greenhouse gas perspective, steel kegs become preferable to single-use glass bottles after just three use cycles, and surpass aluminium cans after five cycles. In the U.S. alone, the use of steel kegs saves more than 400,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually and prevents nearly 500,000 tons of packaging waste from entering landfills.
“Our kegs are more than a product — they symbolize India’s emergence as a global force in world-class beverage technology. We are committed to delivering innovations that offer superior freshness, greater operational efficiency, sustainable performance, and a truly elevated consumer experience,” Acharya said.
