India's traditional beverage Goli Soda, rebranded as Goli Pop Soda, is registering strong consumer response in the global market, including the US, UK, Europe and the Gulf, according to the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

It added that the product has already made strong inroads in global markets, with successful trial shipments to the US, UK, Europe and Gulf countries.
