"Indian government is facing a loss in taxes of approximately 1200–1300cr, due to beer cans." India is currently grappling with an aluminium can shortage that’s stalling beer production and costing the exchequer heavily. With an estimated shortfall of 12–13 crore (500 ml) cans annually, breweries are cutting output, delaying launches, and shifting formats — translating into roughly ₹1,200–₹1,300 crore in lost excise, VAT and GST revenue. Small and regional brewers are hit hardest: they rely on imports or large suppliers with long lead times and minimum order sizes. Fast facts & numbers: Shortage: ~12–13 crore cans/year (500 ml equivalent). Estimated government revenue loss: ₹1,200–₹1,300 crore/year (excise + VAT + GST). Impact: production halts, layoffs in allied sectors, higher logistics/import costs. Opportunity: Local micro-manufacturing can fill demand — a single compact plant (10–20 million cans/year) can materially ease regional shortages. What we’re doing: Can-Do is an ideation-stage startup building a localized aluminium can solution for breweries — focused on reliable supply, small-batch flexibility, and faster turnarounds. We’re scouting tech partners, BIS pathways, and pilot sites. If you’re a brewer, investor, equipment vendor, or policy maker interested in solving this supply shock — let’s connect. Together we can plug the gap, revive production, and recover lost tax revenue.
