New Delhi, Jan 12: SLMG Beverages ended 2025 on a high note, crossing the ₹8,000 crore revenue milestone, consolidating its position as one of India’s largest independent Coca-Cola bottlers. The company expects this growth momentum to continue through 2026, targeting ₹10,000 crore in revenues.
The growth has been driven by expanded manufacturing capacity and a strengthened distribution network. As volumes increase, SLMG Beverages is evaluating further investments to improve production efficiency and logistics, especially during peak summer demand. Among the initiatives is a planned 70-acre integrated manufacturing facility, expected to support long-term growth, with formal announcements due in February 2026.
Currently, SLMG Beverages operates eight bottling plants across Uttar Pradesh (7) and Bihar (1). Its flagship Trishundi facility in Amethi, spread over 35 acres, is the largest Coca-Cola bottling plant in Southwest Asia, contributing nearly 25% of total production. Commissioned a year ago, it houses eight automated production lines manufacturing Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Sprite, Fanta, Limca, Maaza, Minute Maid, Kinley, packaged water, and hot-fill products. The plant can produce 4,600 bottles per minute, averaging 2.5 lakh cases daily, which rises to 3 lakh cases in peak season, with 300 truckloads dispatched daily.
Equipped with advanced German and Chinese automated lines and AI-enabled surveillance systems, the facility uses Advanced PET Bottle technology to extend product shelf life from two months to eight months. It employs 400 permanent and 600 contract workers.
Looking ahead, SLMG Beverages is building a state-of-the-art greenfield plant in Buxar, Bihar, expected to be operational by January–February 2026. The facility will strengthen production and distribution in eastern India, complementing the company’s expansion strategy.
Reflecting on its investments in Uttar Pradesh, SLMG Beverages cited the state’s demographic advantage, skilled labor pool, and robust infrastructure, including expressways, airports, and logistics networks, as key drivers of its growth. The company also acknowledged Invest UP for enabling streamlined business operations through coordinated clearances and governance support.
“Crossing ₹8,000 crore is a defining milestone. Going forward, our focus will be on strengthening systems, processes, and teams to sustainably manage higher volumes,” said Paritosh Ladhani, Joint Managing Director, SLMG Beverages.
With rising beverage consumption across India, SLMG Beverages expects 2026 to be a year of measured expansion, powered by disciplined investments, advanced technology, and continued operational excellence.
