PepsiCo has outlined a significant investment roadmap for India, committing nearly ₹5,700 crore between 2025 and 2030 to strengthen its manufacturing network and support long-term growth, as per the PTI report.
The investment will primarily target the company’s foods business through new and expanded facilities across multiple states, reflecting its confidence in the Indian market's growth potential.
PepsiCo India will channel most of its planned investment into three facilities located in Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Tamil Nadu.
According to Jagrut Kotecha, India and South Asia CEO of PepsiCo, the company remains committed to expanding its footprint in one of its top 13 global markets.
“We are committed, and as a result, from 2025 to 2030, we have committed almost ₹5,700 crore of investments,” Kotecha said.
The investment programme includes a concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh and snacks manufacturing facilities in Assam and Tamil Nadu.
Some of these projects are nearing operationalisation. Kotecha noted that “some of this is going live in the next few months, like the concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh, Northeast plant in Assam”.
The company recently acquired land in Tamil Nadu to support a major expansion of its snacks business in southern India. Highlighting the strategic importance of the project, Kotecha said, “The land purchase, which we have just done recently in Tamil Nadu, will allow us to open a massive footprint in the South for our snacks business”.
He added that India continues to offer substantial growth opportunities, supported by rising incomes and a stable investment environment.
According to Kotecha, these factors make the country an attractive market for continued capital deployment and business expansion.
PepsiCo India reported a profit after tax of ₹905 crore for the 12 months ended December 2025, while total revenue stood at ₹9,789 crore. The company also recorded strong growth momentum during the year.
Commenting on business performance, Kotecha said, “For the second year in a row, we have got strong double-digit growth”.
Savitha Balachandran, CFO of PepsiCo India and South Asia, said the food segment delivered robust growth of around 11% during 2025. The beverages business, however, faced challenges from weather-related factors and heightened competition.
“On the beverages side, it was a market where we did see some headwinds as far as the weather was concerned. We did see some softness impact,” she said, while noting that competitive intensity had increased significantly.
Despite these challenges, Balachandran stated, “Both segments of the business, I would say, performed really well and strongly for us”.
The company has entered 2026 with a healthy balance sheet, holding more than ₹1,600 crore in cash. Investment will remain a key priority as PepsiCo pursues long-term growth while maintaining financial discipline.
