NEW DELHI - India has rejected demands from large global and domestic beverage firms to exempt some plastic straws from a ban that takes effect on July 1, fanning fears of disruption in a multi-billi

on-dollar industry.

Mr Aggarwal's comments came after the environment ministry rejected the group's demands, telling it in an April 6 memo that the industry"should move towards uptake of alternatives", after being given more than a year's notice of the change. Pepsi's Tropicana and Dabur's Real fruit juices, along with Coca-Cola's Maaza and Parle Agro's Frooti mango drinks are among the beverages sold in the small-pack format, and the packaged straws let buyers quench their thirst while on the go.
