Bengaluru: Coffeehouse chain Starbucks has launched its 6th drive-through store in India, a company official wrote on social media. The new outlet is situated in Punjab at Pathankot, along the Kanyakumari-Srinagar Highway (NH 44).

Together both companies have formed a 50:50 joint venture called Tata Starbucks Pvt. Ltd., which operates all Starbucks outlets in India.
In April 2023, Starbucks has launched its India’s first beachfront outlet in Calicut, Kerala, located at South Beach Road, Kozhikode.
