Apr 14: Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) today announced the commissioning of a first-of-its-kind high-speed Kinley water production line at its Avinya manufacturing facility in Telangana, setting new benchmarks in speed, automation, and operational efficiency in packaged drinking water production.
Located at Banda Thimmapur in Siddipet district, the Avinya (Telangana Greenfield Factory) facility is one of HCCB’s most advanced manufacturing units. Spread across 49 acres with a planned investment of over ₹2,000 crore, the plant currently operates seven advanced production lines, strengthening the company’s manufacturing footprint in the region.
The newly commissioned line is among the most advanced in the country and is the fastest within the Coca-Cola India Southwest Asia (INSWA) system in terms of production capacity. It can produce 500 ml PET bottles at speeds of up to 1,350 bottles per minute and 1-litre PET bottles at up to 1,000 bottles per minute, establishing a new benchmark for high-speed production.
Built on an integrated automation framework, the line enhances operational visibility, precision, and consistency across manufacturing cycles. It features a state-of-the-art water purification system with mineral injection and ozonisation technology to ensure stringent quality standards.
The facility also incorporates advanced lamella pack technology, enabling up to 90% water recovery, underscoring HCCB’s commitment to sustainability and responsible water management. An integrated Human–Machine Interface (HMI) allows centralised monitoring and improved process control, ensuring reliability and efficiency.
Additionally, the line includes an advanced dosing system to enhance packaging stability and product integrity. Optimised for energy efficiency, it leverages real-time monitoring to minimise downtime and enable faster changeovers, ensuring flexibility to meet evolving market demand.
Commenting on the development, Avinash Kant Kumar, Head – Integrated Supply Chain, HCCB, said:
“Avinya sets a new national benchmark in beverage manufacturing by combining high-tech automation with sustainable resource management. The launch of our Kinley production line, the fastest in the INSWA system, marks a significant milestone for HCCB and reinforces our commitment to Telangana’s industrial growth and operational excellence.”
The commissioning of this line further strengthens HCCB’s manufacturing ecosystem and enhances the capacity of the Avinya facility. Alongside its existing plant in Ameenpur, Sangareddy district, the company continues to expand its presence in Telangana, contributing to industrial development and generating employment for over 1,000 people in the state.
