Food and beverages giant PepsiCo India has announced a major investment plan of up to ₹5,700 crore by 2030. The massive capital injection will primarily focus on ramping up the manufacturing capacity of its foods business across the country. Speaking on the initiative, PepsiCo’s India and South Asia CEO, Jagrut Kotecha, emphasized that India remains one of the company’s top 13 global markets, offering immense potential driven by rising consumer incomes and a stable economic environment.
The planned investment will be directed toward three key manufacturing facilities. These include a strategic concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh and advanced snacks plants in Assam and Tamil Nadu. According to Kotecha, the facilities in Madhya Pradesh and Assam are expected to go live within the next few months, while a recent land purchase in Tamil Nadu will pave the way for a massive manufacturing footprint to cater to the southern market.
This aggressive expansion follows a highly successful financial year. PepsiCo India reported a profit after tax of ₹905 crore on a total revenue of ₹9,789 crore for the 12 months ending December 2025, marking its second consecutive year of strong double-digit growth. CFO Savitha Balachandran noted that while the beverage segment faced mild weather-related headwinds and intense competition, the foods segment witnessed a robust 11 percent growth.
Entering 2026 with strong momentum, PepsiCo India boasts a healthy balance sheet backed by over ₹1,600 crore of cash on its books. The company aims to utilize these resources to secure long-term growth while maintaining strict financial discipline.
