Coca-Cola India has made significant investments to build and continually improve its business in India, including new production facilities, wastewater treatment plants, distribution systems and marketing equipment. During the past decade, The Coca-Cola System has invested more than US $1 billion in India, making Coca-Cola one of the country’s top international investors and in 2003, Coca-Cola India pledged to invest a further $100 million in its operations.

The Coca-Cola System in India includes 24 Company-owned bottling operations and another 25 franchisee-owned bottling operations that directly employ 5,500 local people and create jobs for another 150,000.

Virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola products locally – including our Kinley water brand launched in 2000, Shock, an energy drink launched in 2001, and Sunfill, our first powdered concentrate, also launched in 2001 – are made in India, ensuring that the benefits of such enterprises remain in the local communities in which they operate.

For as long as we’ve been in India, The Coca-Cola Company and our independent bottlers have been engaged at the international, national and community levels to support programs that protect the environment, conserve water, promote education, and provide healthcare.
