Hindustan Coca‑Cola Beverages to invest ₹1,127 crore in new plant and expansion in Andhra Pradesh

Hindustan Coca‑Cola Beverages, the Indian bottling arm of the global soft‑drink giant, disclosed plans to allocate ₹1,127 crore for a new production facility and the expansion of its existing footprint in Andhra Pradesh. The investment is aimed at boosting the company's manufacturing capacity in the southern state, which has emerged as a key growth market for non‑alcoholic beverages.

The company said the funds will be used to construct a state‑of‑the‑art bottling plant and to upgrade current lines to meet rising demand. While specific details on the plant’s capacity and job creation were not released, the move underscores Hindustan Coca‑Cola’s strategy to deepen its presence in high‑growth regions.

Industry analysts note that the sizeable outlay reflects confidence in India's beverage consumption trends and aligns with the firm’s broader plan to modernise its supply chain across the country. The project is expected to proceed after requisite clearances from local authorities, with completion slated for the coming years.
