PepsiCo India’s bottling partner Varun Beverages (VBL) today announced opening of its Rs 550-crore facility in Pathankot, Punjab, which would roll out products from the cola major’s beverage portfolio.
The integrated facility will produce PepsiCo’s Tropicana range of fruit juices, dairy-based products, carbonated soft drinks, Aquafina water, Gatorade and Lipton ice tea, according to a joint statement.
