The company’s annual production capabilities now stand at 6,000 metric tonne of spray-dried coffee and 5,000 metric tonne of agglomerated coffee
Vintage Coffee and Beverages (VCBL) has commissioned an additional 4,500 metric tonne per annum (MTPA) capacity with effect from 23 March 2026 under its brownfield expansion project for soluble coffee. This expansion has been executed at one of its wholly owned subsidiary’s instant coffee manufacturing facilities, located in Nagar Kurnool District, Telangana.
With the commissioning of this additional capacity, the company’s total installed production capacity has increased significantly from 6,500 metric tonne to 11,000 metric tonne per annum. The entire expansion has been funded through internal accruals, as per the regulatory filing.
“The new equipment’s are performing satisfactorily and is expected to enhance the production by approximately 70 per cent on per annum basis. Following the expansion, the company’s annual production capabilities now stand at 6,000 metric tonne of spray-dried coffee and 5,000 metric tonne of agglomerated coffee. I want to appreciate efforts of the team for commissioning the plant ahead of its committed timelines of 31 March 2026,” stated Balakrishna Tati, Chairman and Managing Director, Vintage Coffee and Beverages.
In line with its strategic growth initiatives, the company has also commenced the development of a greenfield project for an ultra-modern freeze-dried instant coffee plant near Hyderabad. The proposed facility, which will be equipped with advanced European technology, is designed with an installed capacity of 5,500 metric tonne per annum and is expected to commence commercial production next year. This project is anticipated to further strengthen the company’s product portfolio and enhance its position in the global instant coffee market, the statement added.
Commenting on the recent crises in Middle East, Tati explained that the coffee industry is largely unaffected by the recent middle east crises since the major coffee producing nations are not located in that region. The raw material availability is robust and the company is taking efforts to manage supply chain to ensure timely delivery to customers, Tati noted.
“We expect to ramp up production at the new 4500 MTPA facility through Q1FY27. The demand environment remains robust, and the company is on track to achieve its FY27 -FY28 plans,” Tati pointed out.
