PepsiCo India Plans Rs 5,700 Crore Investment In Manufacturing Capacity Expansion

PepsiCo India has announced a major investment plan of up to ₹5,700 crore by 2030, aimed at significantly expanding its manufacturing capacity across key segments of its foods business in India. The company said the investment reflects its long-term confidence in India as a high-growth market driven by rising consumption and improving income levels.

The announcement was made by PepsiCo India and South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha, who said the investment will primarily focus on strengthening three major manufacturing hubs located in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, and Tamil Nadu. He noted that India remains one of PepsiCo’s most important global markets, ranked among its top 13 worldwide, and continues to attract sustained capital inflows.

According to the company, a significant portion of the investment will go into a concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh and new snacks manufacturing facilities in Assam and Tamil Nadu. Officials said some of these projects are already nearing operational stages, with the Madhya Pradesh and Assam facilities expected to go live in the coming months as part of the company’s phased expansion strategy.

The company also highlighted recent land acquisition in Tamil Nadu, which is expected to support a major expansion of its snacks production footprint in southern India. PepsiCo said the move is intended to strengthen supply chains, improve regional manufacturing efficiency, and meet growing demand for packaged foods across domestic and export markets.

PepsiCo executives reported strong financial performance in 2025, with the India and South Asia business posting double-digit growth for the second consecutive year. The food segment recorded around 11% growth, while the beverages segment faced temporary pressure due to weather-related factors and increased competition in the market.

Despite short-term challenges, the company said its overall business remains strong, supported by healthy cash reserves of over ₹1,600 crore. PepsiCo added that it will continue prioritising long-term investments while maintaining financial discipline, as it looks to build on its growth momentum in 2026 and beyond.
