Coca-Cola India delivered a strong financial performance in FY25, posting a sharp jump in profitability even as revenue growth remained steady, according to regulatory filings accessed via business intelligence platform Tofler. The Indian arm of the US-based beverage giant reported a consolidated net profit of ₹615.03 crore for the year ended March 31, 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 46.3 percent.
Revenue from operations rose 7 percent to ₹5,042.56 crore, compared with ₹4,713.38 crore in FY24. Including other income, total income for the year climbed 7.7 percent to ₹5,171.48 crore. The improvement in bottom-line performance reflects tighter cost controls and operational efficiencies, even as the company continued to invest in its core brands across the country.
India remains Coca-Cola’s fifth-largest global market, supported by a broad portfolio that includes Coca-Cola, Thums Up, Sprite, Limca, Maaza and Minute Maid. During the year, the company saw moderation in certain expenditure lines. Advertising and sales promotion spending declined to ₹1,311.13 crore in FY25, down from ₹1,520.22 crore a year earlier, indicating a more calibrated approach to brand investments.
At the same time, royalty payments to parent company The Coca-Cola Company increased by 9.65 percent to ₹556.52 crore, reflecting higher brand usage and scale. Total expenses for the year rose marginally by 2.8 percent to ₹4,328.37 crore, while tax expenses increased 33 percent to ₹228.08 crore.
Coca-Cola India is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Coca-Cola South Asia (India) Holdings Ltd and remains an unlisted entity. Separately, the group operates its bottling business through Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd, in which The Coca-Cola Company recently divested a 40 percent stake to the Jubilant Bhartia Group.
The FY25 results underscore Coca-Cola India’s ability to expand profitability in a competitive beverage market, balancing disciplined spending with sustained demand across its flagship brands.
