PepsiCo Opens Second India Flavour Plant In Ujjain

PepsiCo has inaugurated a Rs 12.66 bn flavour manufacturing facility in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, marking one of its largest manufacturing investments in India. The company said the project was commissioned on 30 June and occupies a 22-acre site. PepsiCo said the facility will produce beverage concentrates for its portfolio of beverages for domestic and regional supply. The inauguration followed a company statement outlining project timelines and compliance with local regulations.

The Ujjain plant constitutes the firm's second flavour manufacturing site in India and is designed to integrate global manufacturing standards and advanced technology. The facility will support production of concentrates used across the company's beverage range and is expected to enhance supply chain resilience in central India. The plant will incorporate automation and quality assurance systems aligned with the firm's global protocols. The site was described by the company as reflecting investments in manufacturing capability and sustainability.

PepsiCo said the Ujjain project forms part of a broader Rs 57 bn investment commitment in India through 2030 and is the ninth flavour facility globally and second in the country. The company said India remained a strategic growth market for its international beverages business and the new plant reinforced long term commitment to local manufacturing. Senior executives indicated the facility harnessed global best practices in quality control and environmental performance. PepsiCo said the facility would also support research and development of beverage formulations tailored to regional tastes.

PepsiCo added the investment is expected to catalyse industrial development, job creation and growth among ancillary businesses across central India. The company said the new plant would create direct and indirect employment opportunities while supporting local suppliers and logistics providers. Management stated the facility would strengthen the company's ability to serve consumers with its beverage portfolio across the region. The company said it planned a phased ramp up of production to align output with market demand.
