India Diet Coke price hike amid Iran war

The US-Israeli war on Iran disrupted aluminum-can supplies to India, triggering Diet Coke shortages and a wave of “Diet Coke parties,” before Coca-Cola raised prices by over 10% and switched to more costly, larger cans from Southeast Asia as supply chains remain stressed by Hormuz disruptions. Some bottlers are also testing alternative packaging like 200-ml glass bottles, underscoring persistent packaging shortages and price inflation in India's beverage market.
