The company said the proposed listing would mark a significant milestone, complete the refranchising of Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings Pvt. Ltd. (HCCH) and position the business to better capitalise on opportunities in the Indian market.

“Preparations for a potential listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India are currently underway, subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals,” the company added.

Coca-Cola considers India a key growth market, reporting sales of 50 billion rupees ($526.37 million) in 2024–25, its highest level since at least 2021.

The beverage giant faces increasing competition in India from Reliance’s Campa Cola brand.

Bloomberg News reported last year that a potential initial public offering could value the company’s bottling unit at about $10 billion.

Coca-Cola has engaged Rothschild to advise on the proposed listing process.

Established in 1997, HCCH and its operating subsidiary HCCB manage a distribution network of over 2,000 distributors, serving more than 1.7 million customers.

HCCB operates 14 bottling plants across 10 Indian states and partners with eight co-packers. The company is engaged in the preparation, packaging, distribution and sale of both sparkling and still beverages, including Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Sprite, Fanta, Limca, Maaza and Minute Maid, among other brands.
