Indian soft drink industry had been changed from 1977 to 1993. The
competition in the soft drink industry had become very tough. The major
competitor at that time were Pepsi and Parle. Parle’s best known brands
includes ThumsUp, Limca, Citra and others were Gold Spot and Maaza. At
that time Parle had a market share of 53% and Pepsi had a market share of
20%.

Now Coca-Cola had to make some strategies to survive in this tough
competition. For this Coca-Cola decided to take over Parle, so that the
company can take the advantage of Parle’s network. This decision was

solid presence in India and had each introduced a 300mL bottle. In order to

Coca-Cola decided to drop their prices slightly, but focused on the reduced
price point of their 200mL container. Coca- Cola planned to use the lower
price point to penetrate new cities that were especially price sensitive. The
carbonated soft drink market in India is nearly 37% of the total beverage
market there.

This low price strategy was not unfamiliar to Coca-Cola. Both Coke & Pepsi
utilized a low price strategy in the early 1990s. After annihilating the low
price store brands, Coke chose to reposition itself as a "Premium" brand and

COKE IN INDIA
Coke gained an early advantage over Pepsi since it took over Parle in
1994. Thus it had ready access to over 2,00,000 retailer outlets and 60
bottlers.
Thus Coke had greater than Pepsi because it had ready access to the
Parle network. For example in 1994 Pepsi had 20 bottlers to serve the entire

In 1993, Pepsi Foods Ltd. had control over the Rs. 1,100 - Crore
Indian Soft Drinks market. At that time, the soft drinks trycoon Ramesh
Chauhan, was heading the Parle group and at that time was deciding to
explore the possibility of selling his best rolling brands to Coke, rather than
to Pepsi. Pepsi had entered the market 3 years before Coke did. Before the
Coke-Parle tie-up in '93- Ramesh Chauhan had 2 options before him- (1) to

Effective marketing would be blending the marketing mix elements
Cola - Cola has always worked upon their marketing mix tools since
its entry into India and Coke’s objective has been to strengthen their brand in
important segments of the market and to gain a competitive edge over Pepsi
brands.
a) PRODUCT
Coke was launched in India in Agra, October 24, in '93', soon after its
traditional all Indian launch of its Cola. at the sparking new bottling plants at
Hathra, near Agra. Coke was back with a bang after its exit in 1977.
Coke was planning to launch in next summer the orange drink, Fanta-
with the clear lemon drink, sprite, following later in the year.
Coke already owns more brands than it will over need, since it has
bought out Ramesh Chauhan. Coke just needs to juggle these brands around

dextrously to meet its objectives, to ensure that Pepsi does not gain market
For if a vacuum develops, it is Pepsi which has the brand muscle and
the distribution network to grab customers today-not Coke. But Coke could
not reduce its marketing support for Thums Up until its own Cola would hit
the four major metros (Delhi. Bombay, Calcutta and Madras) Therefore,
Coke had to give its existing levels of support for Parle's brands and would
push Thums Up and Limca. Coke has plans to' use quality and hygiene as
their mistakes.
In, 1998 Coke's product line includes, Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Fanta,
Gold Spot, Maaza, Citra, Sprite, Bisleri Club Soda and Diet Coke.

likely chances of Coca Cola slashing the prices of Thums Up to Rs. 5 and
