\"How<\/p>\n

A friend once drove from Pune to Ahmedabad and counted 14 different packaged water brands at highway dhabas along the way. None of them were Bisleri. All of them were selling just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The packaged drinking water market in India sits at roughly Rs 30,000 crore today and keeps growing, driven by corporate offices, highway retail, hotels, and hospitals. Starting a <\/span>bottled water business<\/span><\/a> in India in 2026 is genuinely achievable, but the compliance requirement list is non-negotiable. Before your first bottle leaves the plant, you need BIS certification, an FSSAI licence, a Pollution Control Board NOC, GST registration, and, depending on your water source, a CGWA groundwater extraction approval.<\/span><\/p>\n
