The project is expected to provide clean electricity for captive consumption, allowing JK Cement to meet part of its power needs through renewable sources. PepsiCo is making a strong push into healthier drinks as it reshapes its India strategy to capture changing consumer demand. The company is focusing on healthier drinks to strengthen growth in one of its fastest-expanding markets, where consumer preferences are quickly shifting away from high-sugar beverages.The move comes as more Indian consumers, especially younger buyers, are actively choosing low-sugar and zero-sugar options. Rising awareness around diabetes, weight management, and lifestyle-related health concerns has pushed beverage companies to rethink their product mix. PepsiCo has already moved a large share of its portfolio into reduced or zero-sugar categories, signaling a long-term shift rather than a short-term trend.
