It follows a close-to $55m commitment by the company in 2024 to expand its can manufacturing plant in Taloja, Maharashtra.\u00a0<\/p>\n

India\u2019s beverage can market is projected to grow by more than 10% annually until 2030, driven by a rising consumer preference for sustainable and convenient packaging formats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing our expansions in Taloja and Sri City, we are exploring further investments to support the continued growth of the Indian market as more brands and consumers are choosing aluminium packaging.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ball entered the Indian market in 2016 and operates facilities in Taloja and Sri City, supplying beverage can sizes ranging from 185ml to 500ml to domestic and global brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company manufactures aluminium packaging for beverage, personal care and household products and has approximately 16,000 employees globally.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It generated net sales of $11.08bn in 2024, excluding its divested aerospace business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In early November 2025, Ball appointed<\/a> Ronald J Lewis as its CEO and a member of its board of directors, effective\u00a0immediately.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
