AGI Greenpac, a manufacturer of glass containers and packaging products, and CANPACK Group have announced separate investments totalling INR 23 billion to establish aluminium beverage can manufacturing facilities in Uttar Pradesh. The move is intended to tap into growing demand for recyclable and sustainable packaging solutions in India.
AGI Greenpac plans to invest approximately INR 10 billion in a two-phase greenfield project dedicated to producing aluminium beverage cans. The first phase, with a capacity of 950 million cans annually, is expected to begin commercial operations in the third quarter of FY28. The facility’s total capacity is projected to reach 1.6 billion cans per year by FY30. The investment will be funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.
According to the company, the upcoming facility will manufacture aluminium cans for carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, beer, and other beverages. AGI Greenpac stated it aims to expand its presence in sustainable beverage packaging over the next decade.
Separately, CANPACK Group, a subsidiary of Poland-based Giorgi Global Holdings, is investing approximately INR 13 billion in a new aluminium can manufacturing facility in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh. The site is situated in the Integrated Manufacturing Logistics Cluster near the Ganga Expressway and the Kanpur–Lucknow Highway.
This will be CANPACK’s third aluminium can facility in India and its first in Uttar Pradesh, complementing its existing operations in Aurangabad and Nuh. The Unnao facility is expected to serve both domestic and export markets. While the company states the facility will create around 5,000 direct jobs, this figure may include indirect employment across the supply chain.
The combined investments signal Uttar Pradesh’s growing importance as a manufacturing hub for aluminium beverage cans, aligned with increasing domestic demand for recyclable packaging.
AGI Greenpac Limited is a manufacturer of glass containers and packaging products in India. The aluminium can facility is part of the company’s broader strategy to diversify into sustainable packaging solutions for the beverage industry.
CANPACK India currently produces aluminium beverage cans and ends for domestic and international markets. The Unnao investment aligns with its efforts to expand capacity and regional presence to meet rising demand from the beverage sector in northern India.
