The move will see PepsiCo invest US$591 million (£438 million) into expanding its manufacturing capacity for its foods business in the nation, which is now the sixth‑largest economy in the world by nominal gross domestic product (GDP).
PepsiCo’s investment will primarily support three major facilities located in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Tamil Nadu.
The firm added that the planned expenditure would focus on developing production capabilities to meet rising consumer demand, while strengthening its supply chain network across the vast country.
In the 12 months to December 2025, PepsiCo India reported a profit after tax of US$103.8 million, with its total revenue standing at US$1.12 billion. The business said that this latest investment signals its “continued confidence” in India as a key growth market.
This is in line with the firm’s “aggressive expansion” policy in the country, which it is carrying out through the building of new plants, regional manufacturing hubs and capacity enhancement initiatives.
PepsiCo has already invested in facilities in Uttar Pradesh and Assam, and is now focusing on bolstering its presence in central and southern India to stay ahead of what it calls “growing demand” in the snacks and packaged foods sector.
Having identified it as one of its major global growth markets, PepsiCo expects the nation to play a significant role in driving future revenues.
