Bottled water in India has grown into a substantial consumer category since the 1990s, with both national and regional brands competing in the still water, mineral water, and carbonated water sub-segments. Star Ananda operates within this broader market, offering water-based beverage products to retail consumers.
The brand encompasses two principal product types commonly found in the Indian bottled water market:
The bottled water industry in India is regulated under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) framework, and packaged drinking water is one of the few food products requiring mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification. Brands operating in this space, including Star Ananda, function within these regulatory parameters governing source quality, processing, labelling, and packaging.
