Reliance Consumer Products (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Retail Ventures, plans to invest Rs 6,000–8,000 crore over the next 12–15 months to expand its beverage manufacturing capacity, according to The Economic Times. 

This will be Reliance’s largest capital outlay in the consumer products sector to date and will fund the development of 10–12 new manufacturing facilities across India, including greenfield plants and co-packing units operated with partners. A  major portion of the investment is expected to be channelled into joint ventures.

Earlier this year, RCPL inaugurated a plant in Guwahati in partnership with Jericho Foods and Beverages, and another facility is under construction in Bihar. RCPL, launched in 2022, has rapidly expanded its product range, offering beverages like Campa Cola, Sosyo, Spinner, RasKik, and Independence, and food and personal care brands like Sil, Lotus Chocolate, and Ravalgaon. 

The company currently operates 18 beverage plants, all through joint ventures.
