Ball Corporation Invests $60M to Expand Aluminum Packaging in India

Ball Corporation, a global leader in sustainable aluminum packaging solutions, has revealed plans to invest $60 million in its manufacturing facility located in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, near the border with Tamil Nadu. This investment follows the company's $55 million commitment to its Taloja can manufacturing facility in Maharashtra in 2024.

Mandy Glew, President of Ball Beverage Packaging EMEA and Asia, stated that India is a key market in Ball's global strategy, and this latest investment reflects the company's focused approach to scaling operations in high-growth regions and securing long-term competitive advantage. Glew noted that as consumer demand shifts toward more sustainable and convenient packaging formats, new product categories, particularly in the dairy segment, are gaining momentum, with ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages and milk-based drinks increasingly turning to aluminum as the preferred solution for modern dairy packaging.

The company is exploring further investments to support the continued growth of the Indian market, as more brands and consumers in the country are choosing aluminum packaging over other materials.
