Coke bottler sees ₹7k cr revenue in FY26
The New Indian Express Tirupati
|August 25, 2025
SLMG Beverages, one of Coca-Cola's bottlers in India, is targeting revenues of ₹7,000 crore in FY26, backed by expanding manufacturing capacity and focus on sustainable growth.
The Lucknow-headquartered company operates eight modern manufacturing facilities across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttarakhand, has been stepping up investments in new plants and distribution networks.
Vivek Ladhani, director, SLMG, acknowledged EBITDA margins remain under pressure due to rationalisation and fresh investments but expects to stabilise in medium term, with margins returning to 18-20%.
Until recently, SLMG was the largest independent Coca-Cola bottler in India. That changed after the Bhartias of Jubilant Group acquired 40% stake in Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, Coca-Cola India's bottling arm, giving them control of southern and western markets.
