PepsiCo India has announced plans to invest nearly ₹5,700 crore in India between 2025 and 2030, focusing largely on expanding its food manufacturing operations across multiple states.
The investment highlights the company’s long-term commitment to India, which remains one of PepsiCo’s key global growth markets.
Manufacturing Expansion Across Key States
The company plans to strengthen its production network through:
- A concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh
- A snacks manufacturing facility in Assam
- A large snacks expansion project in Tamil Nadu
According to company officials, some projects are expected to become operational within the next few months, including the Assam plant and the Madhya Pradesh concentrates facility.
The Tamil Nadu project is expected to significantly enhance PepsiCo’s snacks business presence in southern India after the company recently acquired land for the expansion.
India Remains a Strategic Growth Market
PepsiCo India and South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha stated that India continues to offer strong long-term opportunities due to:
- Rising consumer demand
- Increasing income levels
- Stable investment conditions
- Expanding packaged food consumption
The company sees continued growth potential in both urban and rural markets.
Strong Financial Performance Supports Expansion
PepsiCo India reported:
- Profit after tax: ₹905 crore
- Revenue: ₹9,789 crore
for the 12 months ended December 2025.
The company also recorded double-digit growth for the second consecutive year.
According to Savitha Balachandran, the foods business grew around 11% during 2025, supported by strong demand for snacks and packaged food products.
The beverages segment faced some pressure due to weather-related factors and intense competition in the market.
Focus on Foods Business
The majority of PepsiCo’s upcoming investments will be directed toward:
- Packaged snacks manufacturing
- Supply chain expansion
- Production capacity enhancement
- Regional market penetration
India’s growing demand for convenience foods and branded snacks continues to remain a major growth driver for the company.
Conclusion
PepsiCo India ’s planned ₹5,700 crore investment reflects increasing confidence in India’s consumer market and manufacturing ecosystem.
With new facilities in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, and Tamil Nadu, the company is positioning itself for long-term expansion while strengthening its footprint in the country’s fast-growing foods business.
