Introduction

The Coca-Cola Company re-entered India through its wholly owned subsidiary, Coca-Cola India Private
Limited and re-launched Coca-Cola in 1993 after the opening up of the Indian economy to foreign
investments in 1991. Since then its operations have grown rapidly through a model that supports
bottling operations, both company owned as well as locally owned and includes over 7,000 Indian
distributors and more than 2.2 million retailers. Today, Coca Cola’s brands are the leading brands in
most beverage segments. The Coca-Cola Company's brands in India include Coca-Cola, Fanta Orange,
Limca, Sprite, Thums Up, Burn, Kinley, Maaza, Minute Maid Pulpy Orange, Minute Maid Nimbu Fresh
and the Georgia Gold range of teas and coffees and Vitingo (a beverage fortified with micro-nutrients).

In India, the Coca-Cola system comprises of a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company
namely Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd which manufactures and sells concentrate and beverage bases and
powdered beverage mixes, a Company-owned bottling entity, namely, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages
Pvt Ltd; thirteen licensed bottling partners of The Coca-Cola Company, who are authorized to prepare,

world.

The beverage industry is a major driver of economic growth. A National Council of Applied Economic
Research (NCAER) study on the carbonated soft-drink industry indicates that this industry has an output
multiplier effect of 2.1. This means that if one unit of output of beverage is increased, the direct and
indirect effect on the economy will be twice of that. In terms of employment, the NCAER study notes
that "an extra production of 1000 cases generates an extra employment of 410 man days."

Coca Cola System Worldwide and India 


At the core of Coca Cola’s business in India, as in the rest of the world is the production and distribution
network, which the company calls the “Coca-Cola system”. Globally, the Coca-Cola system includes Coca
Cola itself and more than 300 bottling partners. The Coca-Cola Company manufactures and sells
concentrate and beverage bases. The authorized bottlers combine concentrate or beverage bases as the

trademarks -- such as cans, refillable glass bottles, non-refillable PET bottles and tetra packs -- and are
then sold to wholesalers or retailers. In India, additionally, the Company also sells certain powdered
beverage mixes such as Vitingo.

The beverages reach the ultimate consumers through the company’s customers: the grocers, small
retailers, hypermarkets, restaurants, convenience stores and millions of other businesses that are the
final points of distribution in the Coca-Cola system.

Role of each intermediary - Distribution & Retail
