Ready-To-Drink Beverages Get Competition As Rooh Afza Steps Into The Segment

The term “Rooh Afza” instantly transports us to a hot summer vacation afternoon with a tall pitcher of lassi or ice cold water flavoured with a dash of the brilliant red rose-flavored syrup. But with the latest news coming out of the Hamdard Laboratories newsroom, the coming generation may look at Rooh Afza in an all-new way.

Woohoo Afza!

There has been some new development in the Hamdard Laboratories. The company is stepping up its product portfolio by stepping foot into the ready-to-drink segment. Consumers will now be able to sip on a new ready-to-serve beverage, which Hamdard Laboratories is launching under the sub-brand RoohAfza Fusion.

The new drink comes as a direct competition to existing major players in the sector like PepsiCo’s Tropicana, Coca Cola Company’s Minute Maid and Dabur’s Real. According to the company, this new product is a blend of fruit juice and with Rooh Afza and will be available in 200-ml Tetrapaks in multiple flavours such as lemon, orange, mango and litchi.
