The latter acquired Bisleri from an Italian entrepreneur in 1969. The data has been mentioned on the company’s website. It even states that the company holds a 60 percent share in India’s bottled mineral water market. The company deals with hand sanitizer. Bisleri was in talks to share its stakes with the Tata Group. It has been shared by Ramesh Chauhan, the chairman of the company in an interview in November. With their stakes in Bisleri, Tata will have tremendous influence over the packaged drinking water market, including the entry-level, mid-range, and premium water classes. They will have a market network in retail outlets, which includes water networks, chemist stores, institutional channels, hotels, restaurants, airports, and bulk water delivery because it is one of the most well-known water brands in the channels. The Tata group has made a proposal to buy a stake in the biggest packaged water company in India. The three company executives are currently aware of the negotiations. Given that Bisleri has established itself as a leading brand over the years, the acquisition would give Tata a foothold in packaged drinking water on a variety of levels. The Tata Consumer division of the Tata Group has investigated strategic acquisitions. In addition to running the renowned coffee chain, Starbucks cafes, already own Tetley Tea, Eight O’clock coffee, Soulful cereals, pulses, and salts.

Bisleri has other suitors than the Tata Group: Reliance Retail , which is aggressively upping its game across diverse categories like beverages, food, and several other personal care brands by buying stakes from the respective companies, has made proposals to Bisleri, a legacy company that has received interest from other businesses. Despite having demonstrated a strong interest in doing so, Reliance’s attempt to buy stakes in Bisleri International did not succeed. In 2002–2003, Chauhan showed a strong desire to work with the multinational corporations Nestle and Danone. Both multinational corporations have shown a strong desire to up their game. Their plans, however, did not move forward. The packaged drinking water market is highly competitive in India. Many prominent brands like Pepsico ’s Aquafina, and Coca-Cola Kinley have taken up a large position in the market. In 2020-21, the Indian bottled water industry was valued at 2.43 billion USD by a legal market research firm. It was predicted that the industry would expand at 13.25 percent by increasing disposable income, and increasing hygiene and health awareness among individuals. As of now, the shares of Tata Consumer Products have stayed stable at 715.20 INR on the BSE. Edited by Prakriti Arora
