Emphasising that greater purchasing power is translating into higher purchase frequency and preference for healthier and better-for-you products, Reliance Consumer Products or RCPL is looking to outpace industry growth through accelerated organic expansion, supplemented by targeted strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

In the past year, RCPL has taken a majority stake in prominent staples and millet businesses (Udhaiyam, Manna), Reliance Industries said in its 2025-26 annual report. RCPL has also widened its global footprint by acquiring international company Goodness Group and global brands like Brylcreem, Toni & Guy, Matey and Badedas.

“RCPL will continue its accelerated growth trajectory, with revenues expected to grow multifold by 2030, while aspiring to emerge as one of the leading global branded consumer products companies. RCPL is also in the process of modernising and reviving heritage Indian brand SIL in the processed foods category,”

However, the company said that increasing global uncertainties is putting pressure on energy, freight and raw material costs. Broader geopolitical shifts could further destabilise global supply chain. Changes in the regulatory framework could impact the speed of scale-up and the innovation pipeline, the company said.

RCPL’s gross revenue doubled in the last one year to Rs 22,000 crore. Growth has been fuelled by staples and beverages categories. Campa achieved over Rs 4,700 crore in gross sales in FY26. In March 2026, it became India’s fourth-largest carbonated soft drinks brand, capturing double-digit market share in key markets. Independence brand achieved around Rs 2,600 crore sales.

RIL added that global expansion remains a strategic priority for RCPL. The portfolio is already present across select markets in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, with recent global acquisitions providing entry into Australia, the UK and Europe.

RCPL believes its differentiated value proposition of combining quality with accessible pricing, is not just relevant in India, but also holds relevance across international markets, the annual report mentioned.

“RCPL is driving backward integration in its supply chain to achieve cost efficiencies that are passed on to the consumers,” the company said. The current revenue mix remains anchored in staples and beverages, while food and home and personal care are progressing from pilot initiatives to scalable growth platforms. As the portfolio deepens and distribution expands across target markets, these emerging categories are beginning to contribute meaningfully to overall momentum.
