Ball Corporation to build new beverage can plant in Uttar Pradesh

Ball Corporation (NYSE: BALL) announced plans to build a two-line beverage can manufacturing facility in Uttar Pradesh, India, according to a company press release. The new greenfield facility is expected to be operational in 2029.

The Westminster, Colorado-based company already operates two facilities in India, located in Taloja, Maharashtra, and Sri City, Andhra Pradesh. Ball entered the Indian market in 2016.

The company said the project is supported by customer contracts and is expected to generate strong economic value added. Ball added that the investment is consistent with its guidance that capital expenditures will average depreciation and amortization over time.

Mandy Glew, senior vice president and president for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia, said: "Our vision is to build a plant network in India that supports our customers and reaches the majority of states across India. India continues to be one of Ball's most important strategic growth markets, and this investment reflects our confidence in the country's long-term economic potential and the continued growth of aluminum packaging."

Ball reported 2025 net sales of $13.16 billion and employs approximately 16,000 people across more than 65 manufacturing plants and facilities worldwide.
