A senior-level ministerial delegation led by Minister for IT, Industries & Commerce, D. Sridhar Babu and R&B and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkatreddy accompanied by Special Chief Secretary, IT and Industries & Commerce, Jayesh Ranjan and Special Secretary and VC&MD TSIIC, Dr. Vishnu Reddy, met the Senior leadership (Jonathan Reif, Head of Fiscal policy & others ) of the Coca Cola company at their headquarters in Atlanta, United States.

In the meeting, the Coca Cola leadership confirmed that the new plant will be established in Peddapalli district, where the company has already shortlisted sites for the unit. “This decision marks a significant shift of new large-scale manufacturing capacities by multinational companies into the hinterland of the State away from Hyderabad thereby leading to a more distributed industrial growth in the state, in line with the priority of the new government” said Sridhar Babu.
