The Reuters report states that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for aluminium cans, has compelled Coca‑Cola to introduce a larger‑size Diet Coke can in India at a higher price (Reuters).
Investing.com leads with the price impact, foregrounding the “heftier price tag” and framing the change as a cost burden for Indian consumers. South China Morning Post emphasizes the supply‑chain disruption, noting the “shortage” and the shift to sourcing cans from Southeast Asia, while omitting the price‑increase detail. Reuters provides a concise factual account, mentioning both the supply route blockage and the resulting product change without prioritizing either price or shortage.
