The board at Bira has passed a resolution to raise $25 million via ECB (external commercial borrowings) from Kirin Holdings in two tranches of $12.5 million each, its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies shows. According to the filings, Bira91 has also given the option to Kirin Holdings to convert that above-raised ECB into Series D CCPS.

Bira 91 has raised around $350 million to date including its $70 million Series D round led by Japanese integrated beverages company Kirin Holdings in November 2022. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital) was the largest external stakeholder of Bira 91 with 24.83% followed by Kirin Holdings which owned 21.25% of the company as of its last equity fundraise. Bira 91 produces a range of beer variants, including Bira White, Gold, Bira Blonde, and Boom Super Strong, among others. The company operates in more than 1,000 towns across 25 countries and brews its beer at six manufacturing units in India.
