Varun Beverages Ltd announced a plan to broaden its distribution footprint across India by 2027, focusing on smaller cities and new logistics hubs.
Varun Beverages Ltd, the country’s largest PepsiCo franchisee, disclosed its intention to widen its distribution network by the year 2027. The strategy centres on reaching Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 markets, where the company will set up additional depots and logistics centres to improve product availability.
The expansion is part of a broader growth plan aimed at tapping rising demand for both carbonated and non‑carbonated beverages. Funding is expected to come from internal accruals, with the possibility of external debt to support capital‑intensive infrastructure.
Market analysts view the move as a proactive response to intensifying competition in the beverage sector, and as a means to sustain Varun Beverages’ revenue trajectory. The rollout is slated to begin in the upcoming fiscal year, with detailed timelines to be announced later.
