Speaking at the event, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said common people can purchase Campa’s products at a very affordable price. That is one of the big advantages with Campa Cola.
“While they (RCPL) are giving at an affordable price, they are not compromising with the quality, which is at par with other global standards. I believe that this brand will grow from strength to strength and will have an opportunity to expand more. I wish all the best to Reliance Consumer Products Limited, as well as to Jericho. Let this journey be a very successful one and create lot of job opportunities for the people of Assam. And let this journey also reflect that an Indian brand can compete with a global brand,” Sarma added.
RCPL Chief Operating Officer Ketan Mody elaborates on the strategic expansion, saying, “Today marks a significant milestone as we inaugurate the Guwahati plant in partnership with Jericho. Our operations here will generate new employment opportunities, directly contributing to local economic growth. This expansion is a key step in our strategy of reviving India’s heritage brands while fostering sustainable development for the region.”
The project, developed in partnership with Jericho, a well-established first-generation business house based in Guwahati, features cutting-edge manufacturing technology with two world-class bottling lines – a 600 BPM (bottles per minute) carbonated soft drink (CSD) line and a 583 BPM water production line, reinforcing efficiency and innovation in beverage production, Reliance Consumer Products said in the statement.
Ashis Agarwal, founder of Jericho Foods and Beverages LLP, said the launch of this world-class Campa bottling plant in Guwahati is a proud milestone for Jericho Foods as a first-generation food and beverage business from Assam.
“We are committed to establishing Assam as a premier manufacturing destination, crafting superior products that enrich lives. This expansion reinforces our dedication to excellence, innovation, and the future of food and beverage manufacturing in the region,” Agarwal added.
The company said the facility, which will primarily caters to consumer demand across Assam, Northeast India and North Bengal, also has the capability to supply other markets based on demand.
With an optimised SKU mix, the plant ensures a diverse range of beverages and pack sizes to meet varied consumer preferences.
With this expansion, RCPL reaffirms its commitment to providing high-quality beverages to Indian consumers while strengthening its foothold in the Northeast. The Guwahati plant is a testament to RCPL’s vision of leveraging indigenous production capabilities to deliver world-class products.
