Is installing own Bottling Plant a viable option ?

Recently I read a news that Cybage, an IT company installed its own Bottling plant at its Pune Unit. I was first curious, and then quite surprised to see the same. It wasn't clearly mentioned in the news ( for which it was meant 😀). I could find out from some pics :-

Looks like a Glass Bottle 👇

Yes, it must be a glass bottle 👇

The Capping Method is ROPP Capping, used for glass bottles with Aluminium Caps like those medicinal bottles, mostly. Had it been Plastic, the mechanism is different.

Why is the company doing it ?

They say : 

Also :- 

It's done as a step towards the ESG initiatives. Well, what is this ? 👇

My opinion about having own bottling plant :-

1. Technically, it's like installing a swimming pool for own family. You will do that if you truly afford that, OR if you are getting certain advantage, like cybage is doing for. They are doing it towards the ESG , indirectly contributing to the 17 SDGs. Intention : Investors & Tax.
2. 80,000 Bottles a year ( looks like a 500ml Bottle ) is not a huge consumption for which it stands a wise decision, in any sense, besides the ESG thing. It becomes 7000 bottles a month, 250 bottles a day of 500 ml. Nothing. They could have easily outsourced that.
3. To maintain a full-scale bottling plant for such a small consumption looks not correct. They haven't specified the water source. If it's RO Plant + The filling Machine.... It needs technicians too.
4. However, It is also possible that they have outsourced the full operations without buying anything. It might make some sense in this decision. Caring the plastic waste is truly a good intention.
5. There was a still better option, if they could implement Water ATMs. Water ATMs not just cut Plastic, but also omits the usage of Bottles. The Glass Bottle Manufacturing also carries a huge Carbon Footprint. Buying Glass Bottles, consuming them is also indirectly contributing to disrupting the environment.

For Machinery Suppliers 

• This can be another business model. Approach High-Profit companies, suggest them this idea, talk more on ESG : They will understand immediately, it's a buzz-word.
• You can also take contract for running a plant at a cost per bottle model in addition
• Can install a number of Water ATMs in premises of big companies & maintain them at cost. This can also attract good CSR business.
