Coca-Cola bottlers to invest Rs 25,760 crore in India's food processing sector
Coca-Cola’s bottling partners have announced a major investment of ₹25,760 crore in India’s food processing sector. This decision highlights the growing importance of India as a hub for global beverage and food operations.
