Crown Holdings plans to build a new beverage can plant in northern India. The US packaging group aims to enter the Indian market with this and meet the growing demand for aluminium cans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Crown, the planned plant is scheduled to commence operations in the second half of 2027. The facility is designed with two production lines and is expected to produce approximately 2.2 billion beverage cans per year at full capacity. Crown sees India as a rapidly growing market for aluminium cans, both for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n

The new production facility is set to combine modern manufacturing technologies, high operational efficiency, and sustainability standards. Crown points to the recyclability of aluminium cans, describing them as a particularly sustainable beverage packaging format worldwide.<\/p>

\u201eThis investment represents an important step for Crown's expansion in India \u2013 a market characterised by strong structural growth, evolving consumer trends and increasing demand for sustainable packaging.\u201c<\/p>\n

Crown continues to expect capital expenditures of approximately US$550 million for the full year 2026.<\/p>\n
