Name Brand Water Bottles in India: What You’re Paying For

A name-brand water bottle usually gives you four things a generic doesn’t: verified certification (BIS), tested lid engineering, real warranty, and consistent quality across units. HYV, Milton, Cello, Borosil and Boldfit lead the Indian branded segment; Stanley and Owala among imports.
