India's Coca-Cola King: Ladhani Group's Rs 11,000 Crore Vision

Ladhani Group, India's largest Coca-Cola bottler, plans to invest Rs 11,000 crore over the next five years.

The majority of this investment will go into SLMG Beverages, the Group’s flagship company, with a focus on expansion in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Rs 8,000 crore is earmarked for setting up new units and exploring franchising opportunities in India and overseas. SLMG Beverages ranks among Coca-Cola’s top 15 global bottlers.

A key part of the plan includes Rs 1,200 crore for a new bottling plant in Buxar, Bihar, with an additional Rs 1,500 crore for another similar facility. Existing plants in Lucknow, Amethi, Bareilly, and Ayodhya will also be expanded to meet increasing demand.

Beyond beverages, Ladhani Group is investing Rs 3,000 crore in its hospitality division, with plans to double its hotel room capacity.
