Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the FMCG division of Reliance Retail, plans to invest ₹6,000 to ₹8,000 crore over the next 12 to 15 months to significantly expand its beverage business. This marks RCPL’s biggest investment in the consumer sector to date and is aimed at challenging established players like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and regional soft drink brands. The funds will be used to set up 10–12 new manufacturing facilities, including greenfield and co-packing plants, to boost the production of its growing beverage portfolio, which includes Campa Cola, Sosyo, Spinner, RasKik, and Independence. RCPL already operates 18 plants through joint ventures and aims to achieve 70% national distribution by March 2026 and full coverage by March 2027. With product pricing kept 20–40% lower than competitors, RCPL is aggressively scaling its presence. In FY25, the company recorded ₹11,500 crore in revenue, with Campa and Independence brands each surpassing ₹1,000 crore in sales.
