The Coca-Cola Company has announced plans to explore a public listing for Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings Pvt Ltd (HCCH), its largest bottler in India, by 2027. This strategic move aims to capitalize on growth opportunities in the Indian market and follows Coca-Cola's recent divestment of a 40% stake to the Jubilant Bhartia Group in July 2025, leaving Coca-Cola with a 60% ownership stake. Initial preparations for the listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange are underway, pending market conditions and regulatory approvals. Sanket Ray, president of Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia, emphasized that this listing would be a significant milestone for HCCH, enabling it to pursue further growth. HCCH, established in 1997, has a robust distribution network with over 2,000 distributors and serves more than 1.7 million customers. The company employs around 5,000 people and operates 14 bottling plants along with eight co-packers. Rothschild & Co has been retained to advise on the listing, with further details to be announced later.
