Kinley Soda, one of Coca-Cola’s flagship brands in India, has surpassed the Rs 1,500 crore revenue mark — a milestone driven by quality, consistency, and deep consumer trust. Available in India for over two decades, Kinley has steadily grown alongside the country's evolving beverage habits, becoming a staple from street-side nimbu sodas to high-end hospitality mixers. Its crisp fizz and reliability have made it a go-to choice across occasions, generations, and price points.
Now present in over 1.4 million retail outlets—from local kirana shops to modern trade and quick commerce platforms like Swiggy Instamart and Zepto—Kinley Soda is sold in multiple formats ranging from 200ml to 2.25L PET bottles.

By listening closely to consumers and innovating with intent, we’ve expanded the brand across every channel. This milestone is a celebration of every person who chooses Kinley.”
The brand’s rise reflects Coca-Cola India’s broader strategy to grow through purposeful innovation, a sharp consumer-first approach, and supply chain strength. The Kinley story is a signal of how the company is creating value at scale—not just by launching new drinks, but by building trust in every bottle.
