PepsiCo is setting up a new foods manufacturing unit in Assam, with the company describing India as one of its targeted “top 10” global anchor markets. The outlet in Nalbari district is spread across 44.2 acres and is designed to support its broader expansion in India.
The project is linked to PepsiCo’s agricultural sourcing model. The planned unit will cover around 80,000 smallholder farmers, using agri-entrepreneurs as intermediaries to help connect farmers to the company’s supply chain.
Across the available reporting, the emphasis is on the scale and location of the plant in Nalbari and the expected reach of the initiative to smallholder farmers. With only one source provided, no other outlet-level differences in framing or additional details are available, but the core facts remain consistent: a new Assam unit, the acreage of the plant, and the targeted number of farmers supported through agri-entrepreneurs.
