The plantin Sri City is expected to be operational by the second half of 2016, and this will be followed by the plant in Jaipur. The Sri City plant will be located in the vicinity of PepsiCo’s largest beverage manufacturing plant in the country. The beverages and snacks maker is investing Rs 1,200 crore at its Sri City plant. The two plants will create around 150 new jobs in each of their local communities.

Having plants in different locations across the country will ensure that we have a better foot print and position to meet the needs of our customers in the region over the long- term,” Craig Jones, sector director of Rexam’s Africa, Middle East and Asia (AMEA)region said.
