AGI Greenpac has officially commenced construction of its state-of-the-art aluminium beverage can manufacturing facility in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh. Spread across 34 acres, the Greenfield facility, backed by an investment of Rs 1,000 crore, is being developed as a world-class manufacturing hub equipped with advanced, high-speed can production technology, designed for efficiency, precision and scalability in line with global benchmarks. The plant is scheduled to commence operations in the first half of 2027, launching with two state-of-the-art production lines capable of producing a combined 1.6 billion cans per year, with initial output targeted at 1.3 billion cans annually. Each line has been engineered with future-readiness in mind and can be upgraded to 1 billion cans per line through targeted debottlenecking and the introduction of advanced necking technology, bringing total potential capacity to over 2 billion cans per year.
The plant will manufacture a comprehensive range of aluminium beverage can spanning standard, sleek, and slim profiles to cater to the full spectrum of beverage categories, from carbonated soft drinks and beer to energy drinks and ready-to-drink beverages. The multi-format capability, combined with upgradeable architecture and planned necking technology, gives it the flexibility to scale both capacity and portfolio in line with evolving market demand.
Rajesh Khosla, CEO, AGI Greenpac Limited, said, “This investment reflects our deep conviction in India’s growth trajectory and the significant opportunities within the domestic packaging sector. The Uttar Pradesh facility is a testament to AGI Greenpac’s commitment to building world-class, future-ready infrastructure that meets evolving market needs. Beyond capacity, this project strengthens our operational efficiencies, logistics capabilities and our broader commitment to sustainable, responsible manufacturing while contributing meaningfully to the economic development of the region."
