HISTORY OF SOFT DRINK IN MAHARASHTRA
rhen Coca- Cola re-entered the Indian market The Hindustan Coca cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. of
Pune, Maharashtra on lease for 20 years in 1997-98 started its operation. The first product
launched by Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. of Pune was Coca-cola and after that all
the remaining products came in the Maharashtramarket. At present the work force capacity of the
Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. is 126 including all the departments. The soft drink
market in India is quite wide. The production of soft drink in Maharashtrawas stated on 27th with
March 1967 with installation of a Coca Cola bottling plant in Mumbai under the auspicious
guidance of late industrialist Mr. Dharma Chad Kumari which was named as Sea city Beverages
Pvt. Ltd. The company controlled the lions share in the soft drink market for nearly 10 years.
Parle also entered this field in Maharashtrawith the installation of bottling unit in collaboration
with Mr. Rajendra Poddar in the name of Orient Beverage Pvt. Ltd. In 1997 with the advent of
Janta Party Government, it created trouble for Coca Cola which led to withdraw its operation
from India. After the withdraw of Coca Cola from India the Parle monopolized the soft drink
market in Maharashtraand took a lions share of the beverages product from the industry even after
Mc. Dowell pure drinks and local drinks entered into the market. They would not complete with
Parle.

Once again with the liberalization of economy in 1991. Pepsi Food Ltd. Entered in the India
market. It shared its bottling of products in Maharashtra by Sea city Beverages Company on 24th
March 1991 owned by Kamani's collaboration with Birla Group, which was once the bottling
plant for Coca-Cola. After the re-entry of Coke in 1993 the market scenario of Maharashtraalso
changed dramatically. Coca cola establishes its bottling plant in Pune to counter its archrival
Pepsi. A soft drink is a non-alcoholic beverage. It is artificially flavored and content no fruit juice
or pulp. The invent of soft drink is really a classic example of today's marketing theory which
says ³The real marketing spirit of marketing man lies behind the fact of identifying a need, a real
need of consumer and providing him the product to fulfill his need´.

HISTORY OF SOFT DRINK IN INDIA

entered the country to dominate the soft drink market, the history of soft drink in India is quite
drinking old. Down the ages, people consume soft drink to give them a refreshing feeling. Gold
spot is considered as the first brand of soft drink in India, it was introduced in 1965. Coca- cola at
the same time entered the Indian mark t .and dominated the whole market. It faced no though
competition from the domestic market. Due to certain circumstances the Coca cola Company
discontinued its operations in India. In 1993 Coca Cola was launched in Agra (India) again with a
slogan of "OLD rAVE HAVE COME AGAIN" Joining the hand with Parle export Pvt. Ltd.,
The Company was trying its best to regain prestige which it had before. At present only Coca
Cola and Pepsi Food are giving tough competition to each other. Coca Cola was the first foreign
drink came in India in the year 1965. Coca cola had a very good beginning in the Indian market
and it hardly faced any competition in India. The marketing people did not even require
advertising Coca Cola. This extra ordinary success of soft drink could be attributed to following
factors.

Later in 1970, it introduced Limca a lemony soft drink. Before limca they had tentatively
introduced by Cola-Pepsi which they had to withdraw soon in the face battering confrontation
with Coca-Cola. The Indian drink had a significant opportunity in 1977 when Coca Cola decided
to wind up its operation rather than bowing to the government of India insistence of dilution of
equity.

Cola" which sky-rocketed the brand to make it India's favourite soft-drink brand. In 2003, Coke

COMPETITORS

c c

c
COMPITITORS TO HCCBPL
The competitors to the products of the company mainly lie in the non-alcoholic beverage industry
consisting of juices and soft drinks.

The key competitors in the industry are as follows:

c : The PepsiCo challenge, to keep up with archrival, the Coca-Cola Company
never ends for the rorld's # 2, carbonated soft-drink maker. The company's soft
drinks include Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Slice. Cola is not the company's only
beverage; PepsiCo sells Tropicana orange juice brands, Gatorade sports drink, and
Aquafina water.
PepsiCo also sells Dole juices and Lipton ready-to-drink tea. PepsiCo and Coca-
Cola hold together, a market share of 95% out of which 60.8% is held by Coca-Cola
and the rest belongs to Pepsi.

c ' :: Nestle does not give that tough a competition to Coca-Cola as it mainly deals
with milk products, Baby foods and Chocolates. But the iced tea that is Nestea which
has been introduced into the market by Nestle provides a considerable amount of
competition to the products of the Company. Iced tea is one of the closest substitutes
to the Colas as it is a thirst quencher and it is healthier when compared to fizz drinks.

company due to growing health awareness among people.

 Conclusion


c Coca-Cola is the leading soft drink brand in Pune region & most selling brand in the
region is Thumps Up, Sprite and Maaza.

c According to most of the outlet owners the product which is seen is sold i.e. "Jo Dikhta
Hai roh Bikta Hai".

c Prime position of Visi-cooler outside the outlet plays an important role in the selection of
the soft drink by customer.

c Few activation elements like Table Top, Glow Shine Board, Hanger; Road Stand plays a
major role in increasing sell of the soft drink.

c Supply of product as well as stock keeping unit is not up to the mark.

c
re can sum the recommendations in brief as follows:
