How is bottle water different from tap water?
Consistent quality and taste a r e t w o o f t h e p r i n c i p a l d i ffe r e n c e s
b e t w e e n bottled water and tap water. While bottled water originates
from protected sources - largely from underground aquifers and
springs - tap water comes mostly from rivers and lakes.
Marketing of mineral water-Bisleri Another factor to consider is the distance tap water
must travel and what it goes through before it reaches the tap. In compliance with
international regulations, bottled water is sealed and packaged in sanitary
containers. If a bottled water product is found to be substandard, it can be
recalled. This cant happen in case of tap water .A c c o r d i n g t o r e g u l a t i o n s

Competition
The bottled water industry has two other industries as its biggest competitors in
from of Water purifiers industry and the soft drinks industry. Though the
water purifier industry should be credited to have done the spadework, for
setting up the foundation of bottled water industry but still it acts as competitors especially
in the household and institutional consumption market. So the water purifier is a strong
competitor in household and institutional market the soft drinks market isa strong rather very
strong competitor in the retail consumption market. Bottled water became a product in
the West during the 1920s and developed r a p i d l y . H u g e m a r k e t s i z e ,
Purified Water:
Water that has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse
osmosis or other suitable process can be labeled as purified bottled
water. Other suitable product names for bottled water treated by one of
the above processes may include distilled water if it is produced by
distillation, de-ionized water if the water is produced by deionization, or reverse
osmosis water if the process used is reverse osmosis.
It was in 1967 that BISLERI set up a bottling plant for manufacturing andmarketing its
mineral water, which failed badly.
In 1968-69 the brand BISLERI was sold to the Parle group by theItalian company,
Parle group launched BISLERI soda and mineral water, but again the concept
failed as the Indian customer was not ready to buy water in bottled form.
The market remained dormant for the next two decades (i.e. from 1970to
1990) the market throughout this period was formed mainly by
the premium segment like five- star hotels.
In the early 1990s was the onset of liberalization policy, and sell-off of major
soft drinks brands, BISLERI was compelled to test the waters again.
Today the demand of bottled water is increasing at a much higher ratethat of
carbonated soft drinks. The market size of bottled water too is
market. Amongst them Kinely from Coke, Aquafine from Pepsi, kingfisher and now
Himalayan from Tata are main players of industry. There are many upsand down in last
couple of years but brand recall of Bisleri is amazing whichhelped company. In order to
differentiate form other players company tries tocome up with different and new campaigns
on regular intervals.
Marketing of maineral water-BisleriIn case of food and water, whenever people are
suspicious of the quality of product they dont eat unhygienic food and instead of having
non purified water they prefer to stay thirsty. Bisleri itself seems to play on this need for
safety,coining the popular tag-line Play it safe. The advertising helped differentiatethe
product from its competitors who, more or less, communicated nothing.Bisleris seal was
also breakaway (hence irreplaceable), even though thismanufacturing process of sealing
seems to be slow and could clog up theassembly line.Somewhere along the now that space
was occupied by Aquafina and Kinley.The safe breakaway seal was replaced by a regular
seal, but the change wasntcommunicated and more variants (packaging) emerged. Some of
these variantswere sold simultaneously. They were manufactured in different parts of
Delhi,and one had the website www.bisleri.com printed on it, while the other
hadwww.bisleri.co.in printed.So, the mistake was a complete lack of communication on
Bisleris part. Nowthey have a new product out - a mineral water brand (as opposed to a
packageddrinking water brand), and they are advertising it. Still, there are three types
of Bisleri bottles in the market in Delhi right now. Now again Bisleri changed its packaging
and came up with a new bottle. It has been general feeling that Kinleys new packaging is
more acceptable by the people as it is easy to grip it. In a packaged water market, where the
product isnot so differentiated, the company has to constantly innovate new
brandingtechniques, distribution channels, advertising and in fact new
packagingtechniques.According to the Bureau of India [ Images ]n Standards there are
1,200 bottledwater factories all over India (of which 600 are in one state -- Tamil
Nadu).Over 100 brands are vying for the Rs 1,000-crore (Rs 10 billion) bottled
water market and are hard selling their products in every way possible -- better margins to
dealers, aggressive advertising, catchy taglines.... In such a scenario,The Strategist takes a
look at how it all started -- with Bisleri -- and howRamesh Chauhan, chairman, Parle Bisleri
created a market out of pure water.Excerpts from a conversation with Prerna
Raturi:Western Express Highway in Mumbai has been the route to
success for twowell-known men. One was the make-believe super
biker cum thief Kabir.

D h o o m ; a n d t h e o t h e r i s t h e cr a f t y Ramesh Chauhan, who has
masterminded the runaway success of the Rs.500 crore bottled water
brand, BISLERI in the country, from his 1st floor office. BISLERI was originally
an Italian Company created by Signor Felice BISLERIwho first brought the idea of
selling bottled water in India. BISLERI then wasintroduced in Mumbai in glass
bottles in two varieties bubbly & still in 1965.Parle bought over BISLERI
(India) Ltd. in 1969 & started bottling Mineral water in glass bottles under
the brand name BISLERI. Later Parle switchedover to PVC non-returnable bottles
& finally advanced to PET containers. Since1995 Mr. Ramesh. J. Chauhan has started
expanding BISLERI operations. In2003 BISLERI announced its venture to
Europe.For over 30 years, BISLERI has been the pioneer in the bottled water
industrywith its innovations and an eye for perfection. And ever since it was establishedin
1969, BISLERI has constantly searched for inspiration in nature.

The journey till now
1969: Buys Bisleri bottled water from an Italian company, Felice Bisleri. It was bottled in
glass bottles then.Early-1980s: Shifts to PVC bottles. Sales surgeMid-1980s: Switches to
PET bottles, which meant more transparency and lifefor water.1993: Sells carbonated drink
brands like Thums Up, Gold Spot and Limca toCoca-Cola for Rs 400 crore.1995: Bisleri
launches a 500 ml bottle and sales shoot up by 400 per cent.2000: Introduces the 20-litre
container to bring prices down from Rs 10 a litre toRs 2 a litre.1998: Introduces a tamperproof and tamper-evident seal.2000: BIS cancels Bisleri's licence of a water bottling in Delhi
[ Images ] sincesome of the bottles did not carry ISI label; the licence is restored one-and-ahalf months later.2002: Kinley overtakes Bisleri. The national retail stores audit by ORGMARGshow Kinley's marketshare at 35.1 per cent compared to Bisleri's 34.4 per cent.

EXPANSION
Chauhan may be short, stocky and nearing 70, but his enthusiasm and vibrancyover the
years has not diminished an iota. After all, despite the entry of a slewof MNCs (including
Coca- Cola with KINLEY and PepsiCo with AQUAFINAand their cutting edge marketing
gimmicks, Chauhan has not lost his first mover advantage in the segment. He has been able
to sustain and grow his marketshare in the over Rs.2000 crore Indian bottled water mart.
We have nocompetitor. Our biggest competition is our own incompetence, he
grins,describing how it is the unorganized sector, which is presently walking awaywith the
largest chunk of their potential consumers. BISLERI claims 66%market share of the
organized segment. If we were present where theunorganized players are selling, they
would not be there at all, grimacesChauhan.
Parle Bisleri Limited: Expansion plans
Parle Bisleri Limited is undertaking a major expansion to increase itsmanufacturing facility
as also to widen the distribution network. The total project cost is estimated around Rs 260
crore. Of this, Rs 60 crore will beutilised to expand the existing manufacturing facilities
wherein the bottlingcapacity would be doubled to 200 million cases per day. Around Rs 200
crorewill be spent on increasing its distribution network five-fold over the next twoyears. As
a result, the company will have 10-lakh retail outlets backed by a fleetover 5,000
vehicles.Parle Bisleri also plans to procure recycling plants from Japan, for its PET bottles,
and set up at least two such plants in Chennai and Delhi at a cost of Rsfive crore each by this
year-end. Crushed and compacted bottles from other parts of the country will be
transported to the two plants and a better part of thecompacted PET will go into
manufacturing polyester yarn.Though the company plans to come out with an IPO, two
years down the line,the present capital expenditure plan will be financed entirely through
internalaccruals.

The ozone treatment increases the shelf life of water. To ensure mineral water isheld safe
free from contamination, ultraviolet treatment and ozonisation processis carried out.
