Asia Pacific recorded a 6% volume growth led by India while volumes declined by 3% in North America. Coca-Cola reports unit case volume which factors in the total number of unit cases of beverages sold by the company and its bottling partners.<br \/>\u201cWe saw a good momentum in Asia Pacific driven by a good quarter in India in particular. We saw a strong volume growth across our portfolio in India and increased household penetration,\u201d said James Quincey, chairman and CEO at The Coca-Cola Company during the firm\u2019s earnings call on Tuesday.<br \/>The company\u2019s net revenues declined by 2% to $11.1 billion on the back of currency headwinds and the impact of refranchising bottling operations. \u201cIn India, Trademark Coca-Cola and Thums Up, a cherished regional brand are fueling consumers and contributed to double-digit volume growth for the market in the first quarter,\u201d the company said. Summers arrived early in parts of India this year, helping beverage players. <br \/>Coca-Cola is betting on its all-weather strategy to power growth amid macro-uncertainty posed by tariffs. \u201cWe are not immune to global trade dynamics. The imperative is to make global brands locally relevant,\u201d executives said. The company competes with global rival PepsiCo and regional players like Campa Cola in India.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
