SOFT DRINK INDUSTRY IN INDIA


DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL Page 12

India with a population of more than 1.1 billion is potentially one of the largest consumer markets in the world after china. The consumer market is popularly known as the FMCG market or the fast moving consumer goods market. Soft drinks come under this category. Soft drink is basically purchased in India basically for two reasons namely to quench thirst and for refreshment. The Indian economy currently is passing through a bullish phase with increasing per capita income. Subsequently the lifestyle of the Indian consumer is also changing with increased spending on entertainment, refreshment etc. that is why soft drink companies are looking forward to India with great enthusiasm in the future to increase their revenue. The soft drink industry in India dates back to the 1940s when Parle introduced the first branded soft drink called gold spot. Cola giant coca-cola was the first foreign soft drink company to setup its shop in India in 1965. Coca-cola made a very good beginning and dominated the market right from the word go. It faced no competition at that time. The marketing people did not even need to publicize coca-cola. This extraordinary success of coca-cola can be attributed to the following factors, Absence of contemporary competitive brand. The giant image of coca-cola in the western countries preceded their entry into the Indian market, and Indians at that time were very fond of foreign goods. Parle Exports Pvt. Ltd later introduced a lemon flavored soft drink called Limca in 1970. Before this they had introduced a cola flavored drink called pepping which they had to withdrew in the face of stiff competition from coca-cola. But the overtly conservative Indian government of that time with special interest in safe guarding the interest of the Indian companies started insisting that coca-cola should agree on the following points in order to continue in India. Coca-cola decided to windup its operations in 1977 rather than bowing to the Indian government. The main demands of the Indian government were,

Dilution of equity, as the government felt that lots of foreign currency was being wasted. Manufacturing of the secret concentrate in India.
DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL Page 13

Disclosure of the chemical composition of the concentrate. The exit of coca-cola left a large vacuum in the soft drink market. But this also accelerated the growth of several Indian soft drinks. Many new soft drinks like frooti, jump-in etc were launched in the form of tetra pack. However the bottling plants and the distribution networks of these companies were not up to the mark and left much to be desired. It took these companies almost one year to come up with new flavors like Campa cola, Rush etc. to survive in the industry. However Parle, the pioneer in the soft drinks market blazed its way to national prominence with their product Thumps Up bearing the slogan happy days are here again which became a craze. This particular slogan helped to win over the loyalists of coca-cola who were in a state of cola shock or cola depression! Soon the soft drink industry started registering phenomenal growth rates and all parley products namely Gold Spot, Limca and Thumps Up became the brand leaders in their own segments. In spite of this the soft drink market had a huge untapped potential. In 1990, coming of the multinational brand Pepsi and immediately started giving stiff competition to Parley and Coke. The parent company of Pepsi was founded in 1890 at North Carolina in USA. Its CEO is Roger Enrico. PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt. Ltd. in headquartered in Gurgaon and its CEO is Ms. Indra Nyui. In India it has 34 bottling plants of which 8 are company owned bottling outlets (COBO) and 26 are franchise owned bottling outlet (FOBO). SMV Beverages is a franchise owned bottling outlet. Coca-cola reentered the Indian market in 1993 in collaborations with Parley India Ltd.

PEPSICO IN INDIA
PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the Punjab government- owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991, when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. Others claim that firstly Pepsi was banned from import in India, in 1970, for having refused to release the list of its ingredients and in 1993, the ban was lifted, with Pepsi arriving on the market shortly afterwards. These controversies are a reminder of "India's sometimes acrimonious relationship with huge multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have "been major targets in part because they are well-known foreign companies that draw plenty of attention." PepsiCo has grown to become one of the countrys leading food and beverage companies. One of the largest multinational investors in the country, PepsiCo has established a business which aims to serve the long term dynamic needs of consumers in India.

PepsiCos commitment to living by this vision every day is visible in its contribution to the country, consumers and farmers. PepsiCo India's agri-partnerships with farmers help farmers across the country grow and earn more.

PepsiCo's involvement in Indian agriculture stems from its vision of creating a cost-effective, localized agri-base in India by leveraging farmers access to world class agricultural practices. PepsiCo India worked with farmers and State Governments to improve agri sustainability, crop diversification and raise farmer incomes. PepsiCo helped transform the lives of thousands of farmers by helping them refine their farming techniques and raise farm productivity, and customized solutions to suit specific geographies and locations.

The most ambitious project is a joint program, launched in 1989, between PepsiCo India, the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) in Ludhiana and Punjab Agro Industries Corporation (PAIC) in Chandigarh. The program focuses on evolving agricultural practices to help Punjab farmers produce internationally competitive products. Over the last five years, PepsiCo has also collaborated with the Thapar Institute of Technology to develop a high quality potato seed program.

PepsiCo was a pioneer in the concept of contract farming under which the company transfers agricultural best practices and technology and procures the produce at a guaranteed price. To support the initiative, PepsiCo set up a 27-acre research and demonstration farm in Punjab to conduct farm trials of new varieties of tomato, potato and other crops. The program, which includes seed production, has successfully evaluated the following crops, Several varieties of basmati rice more than 200 varieties and hybrids of chilli 25 varieties and hybrids of corn More than 60 varieties of peanut More than 100 varieties and hybrids of tomato.

Additionally, the development of new tomato varieties has helped increase total annual production of tomato varieties from 28,000 tons to over 200,000 tons in Punjab. Yields have more than tripled from 16 tons to 54 tons per hectare. Under the program, 6 high-qualities, high-yield potato varieties have also been introduced to Indian farmers. These new potato seeds have helped to increase farm income and enabled PepsiCo to procure world class chip-grade potatoes for its Frito Lay snacks division. The company has partnered with more than 10,000 farmers working in over 10,000 acres across Punjab, U.P., Karnataka, Jharkhand West Bengal, Kashmir and Maharashtra for the supply of potatoes.

1. Water treatment plant: Water in S.M.V. Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Jamshedpur, is coming from the Sitarampur dam on the Kharkai river. It is stored in a reservoir. This raw water is being treated in the water treatment plant, before the production process starts. Coagulation process is used here for this purpose. Main chemicals used are ferrous sulphate (FeSO4), calcium hydroxide (CaOH) and chlorine (Cl). Initially water is treated with all these chemicals in the treatment tank and becomes turbid. All the impurities get settled at the base and remove the turbidity. Then, it is sent to the carbon tank where all the microorganisms and chlorines are removed. The water so obtained is completely free from any kind of impurities and used in further processing. The maximum alkalinity maintained until as much as 50 ppm. 1. Bottle washing plant: Used bottles returning from the market are stealthy. Before filling these empty bottles with new product, these bottles are passed through the bottle washing plant where these dirty bottles are washed. It is completely an auto process which takes place within a machine called washer

machine. The machine has three compartments. Bottle for washing are placed on the conveyer come inside the machine and get successive treatment. Bottles are treated with 4% caustic soda in the first compartment at a temperature of 100-150 C. Next these are conveyed to the second compartment, where bottles are again washed with hot water at a temperature of 80-100 C, in the third compartment bottles are treated with cold or normal water at room temperature. Time duration in each compartment is 10 minutes. Bottles are then sent through the inspection center, where these are closely watched against white rays of light. Bottles containing any dust or other unwanted things are removed from the line here. 2. Syrup room: Here syrup is prepared. Syrup is prepared by flowing steam and sugar crystals in a specified ratio into a closed container. The temperature of this prepared sugar remains between 80-100C. This syrup contains some impurities as, sometimes there are some impurities presents in sugar, so this syrup is filtered to remove all those contaminations. Before storing in syrup tanks this syrup it is passed through the cooler where syrup temperature is reduced to 25-30C. This

Page 29

temperature is maintained throughout the whole process. Here next flavors are added at a specified quantity with the syrup used for preparation of pepsi or other brands. 3. Bottle filling plant: Next, for preparation of carbonated soft drinks brands like pepsi, mirinda, 7UP, and mountain dew, carbondioxide gas ( CO2) is mixed with this prepared solution. And for the brand like slice, fruit pulp is added. Now the solution is ready for filling into the bottles. The washed empty bottles are filled by automatic filler machine. This machine can fill 60 bottles in one minute. After filling, crowns or caps are fitted on the filled bottles with the help of crowning machine. Now these filled bottles are ladled and then sent for packing and storing in the godowns. 4. Acid room: There are three tanks in this room. The first tank contains caustic soda, the 2nd tank contains hot water and the third tank contains cold water. After finishing every batch of production the whole production lines and containers/tanks are washed. And for this purpose, first of all caustic soda is passed through the pipeline, next hot water and at the last cold water. 5. Yard for keeping empty bottles: S.M.V. Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Jamshedpur has a large area in side its premises. A large part of its open area is used for keeping the empty bottles. 7. Warehouse:

PEPSICO PACKAGING PROCESS

PepsiCo is an industry leader in packaging- helping to promote and implement standards for sustainable packaging.

PepsiCo distribute the products in a variety of packages, each carefully designed to deliver convenience and appeal to the consumers while protecting the integrity of the products. The team of engineers and packaging suppliers are dedicated to finding preferable designs, and are working continuously towards improving the packaging performance while reducing the packaging footprint. PepsiCo are committed to bringing the environmental responsibilities to all areas of the business. PepsiCo are continuously improving the environmental programs and exploring solutions to environmental challenges through socially responsible, scientifically based and economically sound methods. Pepsi pass this commitment along to his suppliers and the consumers in an effort to do our part. The goals are to design and develop packaging systems that are environmentally responsible throughout their entire life cycle, inspire consumers who want to live more environmentally sustainable lives by promoting recycling, and partner with leading organizations to promote sustainable packaging and recycling practices. Through ongoing engagement with the packaging suppliers, we are working towards a position where all of our operations use the most environmentally suitable packaging available in their country of operation.

PepsiCo follow five principles of sustainable packaging design:


Reduce Reuse : Using less material in the packaging, to conserve natural resources.

: Increasing use of reusable packaging and increasing the amount of recycled material in the packaging.

Recycle : Designing packaging for recycling and developing biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions.

: Eliminating environmentally sensitive materials and processes from the packaging. : Increasing use of renewable resources.

Renew

In an effort to meet his goals, PepsiCo have launched a global sustainable packaging policy and formed a Sustainable Packaging Council dedicated to: Developing sustainable packaging strategies, goals, and targets Developing alternative packaging material technologies Supporting responsible disposal practices Using Less Material in our Packaging Although beverage containers are the most recycled consumer packaging in the United States and they are designed for recycling, we continue to look for ways to reduce the amount of packaging used for the products. And we are achieving success. PepsiCo scientists and packaging specialists have led the way in reducing packaging materials through cost-effective changes in design and production, known in the industry as "light-weighting." Light-weighting reduces the amount of raw materials and energy used to make our packages and generates less waste after the products are enjoyed. PepsiCo introduced new packaging for half-liter bottles of Lipton iced tea, Tropicana juice drinks, Aquafina Flavor Splash and Aquafina Alive that contain at least 20 percent less plastic than the original package. Aquafina has trimmed the amount of plastic used in its most popular bottle - the half-liter (16.9 oz) bottle - by 35 percent since 2002. This saves more than 50 million pounds of plastic annually. Aquafina's half-liter bottle weight has changed from 15 grams to 13.2 grams putting it among the lightest water bottles on the U.S. market. Reducing and Recycling the Waste At Frito-Lay, route sales employees return empty cartons from stores to our plants for reuse or recycling and delivery boxes are used an average of six to seven times, saving nearly 5 million trees a year and keeps 56 million pounds of cardboard away from landfills. For Frito-Lay's North American and International products, Frito-Lay recycles packaging film waste from our suppliers' sites for use in various other products (park benches, boards, etc). Our Quaker Oats facility in Cupar, Scotland has reduced the amount of corrugate used by 30% over the past 5 years by moving to cases with open tops and reduced sides. Over the last five years, PepsiCo U.K. has reduced the amount of plastic used to make Tropicana and Copella juice bottles by 18

percent. In Mexico, our snack business saves more than 100 million boxes per year by using every box about seven times between the distribution center and point of sale. By recycling our boxes up to seven times, we save on average each year about 45,000 trees, 1,800,000 mz of water and 1,620,000 liters of fuel. The Latin America Beverages business has optimized

beverage packaging projects across Mexico, Peru, Columbia, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Honduras and Guatemala, resulting in the removal of over 800 tons of packing annually, specifically reducing the need for PET resin for bottles, corrugate boxes, bottle-top closures and glass. The average Pepsi bottle contains 10% recycled plastic, more than any other national soft drink brand. Pepsi-Cola's bottles and cans are among the most recycled packages made since 1990; more than 150 billion Pepsi containers have been recycled. Across all our U.S. divisions, initiatives conducted in 2007 to reduce packaging have resulted in more than 20 million pounds of material reduction across PET bottles, paperboard and corrugated materials.

FINDINGS
Coca Cola is market leader and Pepsi is the market challenger in the whole Dhanbad market. From the coca cola product thumps up and pepsi products slice is the highest selling product in the Dhanbad market. Coca cola is the market leader in overall Dhanbad market but in Railway Station,Dhanbad and Hirapur are the selling of Pepsi is more than Coke. In the case of Bartand and Saraidhela road market the selling of Pet bottle is more than RGB. In Chiragora market, Randhir verma chok road and refugee colony market supply of Pepsi is not better than Coke. In the case of mineral water under brand name Aquafina, is selling more than Kinley. I have found that the retailers are giving more preference to the Coca Cola products. In the case of scheme Pepsi is providing better schemes than Coca Cola.

SUGESSTION
DAYANANDA SAGAR BUSINESS SCHOOL Page 48

We give the following suggestion that can be implemented to increase the customer satisfaction and the profitability of the company. Supply distribution should improve during summer. The sales should be trained and to be courteous with the retailer. It should depend the partnership arrangement with suppliers and distributors and make them feel as a part of the company. Pepsi fridge and racks should be make easily available for the retailers so that they survey the purpose of visibility as they say JO DIKHEGA WOHI BIKEGA. More emphasis should be given in retaining and building loyalty among retailers while at the same time new retailers should be encouraged to sell Pepsi. Another brand of Cola flavour should be introduced and it should have strong taste and more fizz so as to attract the customers who like Thumps up more than Pepsi. Supply should be in time. Merchandising facility should be fulfill like board. The company should concentrate on the brand awareness of its product.

CONCLUSION
Everything in this world is made to utilize properly but should be reach at the proper person or to the proper utilize areas. Otherwise the value added to those things become in vein. As there is a proverb that, Far from Eye, far from Heart. Thus marketing role play a very important role in achieving the objectives of a company. Undoubtly, value utility is created by the manufacture of product or service but time and place utilities are created by marketing role. According to Drucker, both the market and the distribution channels are often more crucial than the product. They are primary and the product is secondary. In an economy like that of India, where marginal shortages can lead to disproportation distortion in prices, a dependable and efficient distribution system is very much essential. The distribution system creates a value added to all most all products. All from the above study not withstanding its restructuring efforts, Pepsi steel had some distance to cover to catch up with Coke.
