Mint Explainer: Inside the lucrative world of soft-drink bottling manufacturers

Coca-Cola India is considering listing its wholly owned bottling subsidiary, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB). The move is seen as part of a trend among consumer giants to spin off units, optimise balance sheets, and focus on core brands and business models. Listing the bottling subsidiary would enable Coca-Cola to reduce exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in raw materials, regulatory changes, and local market conditions. It would also provide liquidity for the bottler and potentially offer tax benefits. Other multinational companies, such as Whirlpool, Timken, and BAT, are also exploring similar strategies.
