Sri Lankan beverages company Ceylon Beverage Can Pvt Ltd, promoted by Muttiah Muralitharan, will set up a full-fledged plant in Mummigatti off Dharwad in Karnataka, Deccan Herald (DH) reported on Thursday.
The company had earlier sent a proposal to the state government for setting up an "aluminium cans and beverages filling plant" in the area. It had asked for 26 acres of land with an investment of Rs 440 crore. It is expected to generate jobs for 500 people.
The Sri Lankan company currently manufactures eight different sizes of slim, sleek and standard cans with a range of customer labels. It is setting up a plant in India owing to huge demand from this region.
In May, Ceylon Beverage tied up with Reliance Consumer Products to manufacture the cans for Campa soft drink.
Ceylon Beverages was established in 2020 and partners with several companies making mineral water, energy drinks, soft drinks and flavoured milk in cans. It has an hourly output of over 48,000 cans and 34,000 bottles. The company's plant is equipped to fill 300 million cans per year.
The Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB), according to DH, has allotted 16.70 acres of land at plot no 157, 2.64 acres on plot no 156 and 6.15 acres on plot no 158. Clearance has also been accorded for providing 3,000 kVA power by Hescom and 20 lakh litres of water per day.

Mahila Thursday, 10 August 2023 07:55 PM

To start with he is Indian Tamil , his heart is in India. Not in Sri Lanka

Simply and purely BS without compare!!!??? After so much that Murali has contributed towards Sri Lanka - having expanded his industry and along with another Canning plant to service his previous investment and cricket to elevate SL to world Champions in 1996!!!??? These B------S are such racist, 1st thing that gets to their tongue or mind is whether Tamil, Sinhalese, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian Catholic, or Hindu, before any other issues!!!??? "Nut heads' like Gnanasara and Athana Methana, Natana types!!!??? Even if ‘Beggars’ are Anaesthetist they would keep on “Chanting”, RACISM and nothing else!!? Probably, they get reminded because of their low origins itself!!!??? CLASSIC!!!!

You are racist to the core. A person having emotional attachment to the place of his origin is not a crime. Why do you think the overseas Jaffna people flock to Nallur during the temple festival. Aitken Spence has hotels in India. Brandix has a huge manufacturing facility in India. Damro has a huge presence in India. These are business ventures and every individual has a right to decide what he feels is best for him.

It's a shame that we could not persuade them to open the plant here.
Mahila Friday, 11 August 2023 07:40 AM
How could anyone persuade ANY SANE MAN or WOMAN to invest in 'ALU' Can Manufacturing Plant, (SL) has 100% capacity to supply local current Needs!!! This plant is for the NEED of a drink manufacturing plant in Mysore state!!! The importance of location for the ‘Aluminium Can Project’ it should be either in the same location as the final user or in very CLOSE proximity to the fruit drink canning Unit!!!?? Otherwise, one would PAY exorbitant amount as Freight (Land or Sea) as the case may be to get the Cans to the drink manufacturer!!! Return on Investment Maximisation or Optimisation (RoIM/RoIO)!!!??? Never heard of it, because in SL we “SKULL-HEADS” don't – we "go by INTUITION"!!! The reason we have white elephants!!! Examples galore for 75 years!!!??

Despite his achievements in cricket which Sri Lanka is thankful, this bloke is a cunning fellow getting political favours. Should condem these moves and exploitations
Thavamani Friday, 11 August 2023 04:29 AM
He should open plant in Sri Lanka who gave him the life
Shanaka Gunaratne Friday, 11 August 2023 04:31 AM
Why he invest in India, better he established in the North of the island where many will benefitted with employment and services. What we need is to develop thr North and East of SL with investment government must encourage indian businesses to set up facilities here . RM moving too can be expedited via air and sea. The country must benefit with Indian boom in GDP

Do not manufacture soft drinks because it causes to increase Blood Sugar patients. Right now the biggest killer is Diabetic. The percentage of the Indian and Sri Lankan population is approx. 40% As you have children in the family try to produce a healthy drink to save the future generation.

He is an opportunist. He sold Tamil community for for money after the war end in 2009. Only money can persuade him!
VJ Friday, 11 August 2023 09:38 AM
He is already operating a company producing cans for beverages in Sri Lanka. He is now expanding his business into India. Well done, wish you continued success.
