Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB), one of India’s leading FMCG companies, announced the commissioning of a high-speed Kinley water production line at its manufacturing facility at Avinya (TGF – Telangana Greenfield Factory) in Telangana.
Avinya Plant is located at Banda Thimmapur in Siddipet district and is one of HCCB’s advanced manufacturing facilities. Built on a 49-acre site with a total planned investment of over Rs 2,000 crore, the plant currently operates seven advanced production lines and represents a major addition to the company’s manufacturing ecosystem in the region.
The newly installed line can produce Kinley 500 ml PET bottles at a speed of up to 1,350 bottles per minute (BPM) and Kinley 1-litre PET bottles at 1,000 BPM. The production line is built on an integrated automation framework designed to deliver enhanced operational visibility, process precision, and manufacturing consistency across production cycles.
The line features a water purification system equipped with mineral injection and ozonization technology to maintain stringent quality standards. It also incorporates advanced lamella pack technology, enabling up to 90% water recovery, reinforcing the company’s commitment to resource efficiency and responsible water management.
An integrated Human–Machine Interface (HMI) enables centralized monitoring and improved process control, enhancing production consistency and operational reliability. The new line is also equipped with an advanced dosing system, improving packaging stability and extending product integrity. The equipment has been optimized for energy efficiency, with real-time monitoring capabilities designed to minimize downtime and enable quicker changeovers.
