Outlays have risen sharply since 1990, when they represented just under 25 per cent of GDP, and are nearly triple the level of roughly 12 per cent of GDP in 1960.

Hungary-based energy drink brand Hell Energy has forayed into the Indian market by launching the classic variant of its energy beverage. The company is sensing a good opportunity in the fast growing energy drink segment and expects to be among the leading players in the next three years on the back of its affordablity and wide-scale availability, a company official said.

"We aim to achieve 80 per cent distribution in each of our product markets and India is a very important market for this category," Hell Energy National Sales Director for India Unnikannan Gangadharan said. The company has priced its energy drink at Rs 45 for a 250 ml can, around Rs 10 more than the cost of a can of popular cola majors.
