History & Background

Carlsberg Group began operations in India in 2007 with a brewery in Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh. Carlsberg Smooth was developed as the company's premium mild beer offering, crafted with European barley to deliver a richer, smoother taste than typical mild lagers while staying accessible to drinkers who find the standard Carlsberg Premium too assertive. It sits alongside Carlsberg Elephant Strong in the company's portfolio as the gentler counterpart for the mild beer segment of the Indian market.
