PepsiCo will invest up to Rs 5,700 crore in India by 2030 to strengthen its manufacturing footprint and scale up production capacity, particularly across its foods business, the company announced on Tuesday.
The investment will be directed towards three key manufacturing facilities located in Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Tamil Nadu, according to PepsiCo India and South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha.
The planned expansion includes a concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh along with snacks manufacturing facilities in Assam and Tamil Nadu. Some of these projects, including the Madhya Pradesh concentrates plant and the Assam facility, are expected to become operational over the next few months.
Kotecha said the recent land acquisition in Tamil Nadu would help PepsiCo establish a larger footprint for its snacks business in southern India. He added that India remains one of PepsiCo’s top 13 global markets and continues to present strong long-term growth opportunities due to rising incomes and a stable investment environment.
PepsiCo India reported a profit after tax of Rs 905 crore for the 12 months ended December 2025, with total revenue standing at Rs 9,789 crore. The company also recorded strong double-digit growth for the second consecutive year, driven largely by robust performance in its foods segment.
PepsiCo India and South Asia CFO Savitha Balachandran said the company witnessed around 11% growth in its foods business in 2025, while the beverages segment faced weather-related softness and heightened competition. Despite these challenges, the company said it entered 2026 with a healthy balance sheet and over Rs 1,600 crore in cash reserves.
