"Coca-Cola bottler SLMG Beverages hits ₹8,000 crore revenue peak; expansion plans underway for new site."

SLMG Beverages, a major bottling partner of The Coca-Cola Company operating eight manufacturing plants across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, reported revenue exceeding ₹8,000 crore in 2025, driven by steady demand across beverage categories throughout the year.

Buoyed by the strong performance, the company expects the growth momentum to continue through 2026 and is targeting to cross the ₹10,000 crore revenue milestone. The company said its expansion has been gradual and sustained, supported by phased additions to manufacturing capacity and distribution infrastructure over time.

As volumes continue to scale up, SLMG Beverages is evaluating further investments to ensure efficiency in production and logistics during peak demand periods, particularly in the summer season.

In line with its long-term growth strategy, the company is planning a large integrated manufacturing facility spread over nearly 70 acres. The proposed project is currently at the planning stage and is intended to meet future capacity requirements rather than address immediate needs. A formal announcement regarding the expansion is expected later in February.

Commenting on the company’s performance and outlook, Paritosh Ladhani, Joint Managing Director of SLMG Beverages, said crossing the ₹8,000 crore mark was a significant milestone. “As the business prepares for its next phase of growth, our focus is on ensuring that our systems, processes and teams are equipped to manage higher volumes over the long term—an area where SLMG Beverages has built a strong reputation,” he said.

With beverage consumption continuing to rise across India, the company expects 2026 to be a year of measured expansion, supported by disciplined investments and a strong emphasis on operational excellence.
