The first two are close to operational. "Some of this is going live in the next few months, like the concentrates plant in Madhya Pradesh and the Northeast plant in Assam," Kotecha said.
Tamil Nadu is the newest piece of the puzzle. PepsiCo recently purchased land there. "The land purchase, which we have just done recently in Tamil Nadu, will allow us to open a massive footprint in the South for our snacks business," Kotecha said, as quoted by PTI.
India remains one of PepsiCo's top 13 global markets. Kotecha also said India remains a strong market despite global headwinds, economic volatility and supply disruptions from the West Asia conflict included. Prices are being held for now, but he, according to Economic Times, acknowledged that businesses can no longer plan too far ahead.

Despite the headwinds, Balachandran said both segments "performed really well and strongly." The company enters 2026 with over ₹1,600 crore of cash on its books and a balance sheet she described as "extremely healthy."
