They have signed agreements (MoUs) with the Ministry of Food Processing Industries for new (greenfield) and existing (brownfield) projects. India is Coca-Cola’s fifth largest market in the world. With this investment, the company is focusing on long-term growth and strengthening its presence in the country.
Key Players Involved
The three bottlers leading this investment are:
- SLMG Beverages (Coca-Cola’s largest bottler in India)
- Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (Coca-Cola’s fully owned bottling arm)
- Kandhari Group of Companies
Among them, SLMG Beverages will invest ₹8,000 crore.
Government Support
The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has promised help in getting all required regulatory approvals for these investments, ensuring smoother implementation.
The investment will cover nine states: Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jammu. These projects aim to strengthen Coca-Cola’s production and supply chain in India.
The projects are expected to create around 30,000 direct jobs and 3 lakh (300,000) indirect jobs. Work on the projects will start this year, with a target to finish by 2030.
