Falcon Brews, the GCC's first licensed brewery and spirits blending and bottling company, has obtained a $25 million term loan from an international Indian bank for its $65 million project in Ras Al Khaimah. The project, split into two phases, allocates $45 million to the brewery and $20 million to the spirits bottling plant. The loan covers the first phase costing $35 million, following a 70:30 debt to equity model. The construction experienced delays due to a pipeline issue but is now progressing, with both plants under construction.
