Reliance's ₹40,000 Cr Food Park: A New Era for Indian FMCG

Reliance Industries has announced plans to invest ₹40,000 crore (USD 4.7 billion) over the next three years to develop Asia’s largest integrated food parks, leveraging artificial intelligence, robotics, and sustainable technologies.

Unveiled by Isha Ambani at the company’s 48th Annual General Meeting, the initiative will be spearheaded by Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), which is being positioned as a direct subsidiary of Reliance Industries. The food parks will form the backbone of RCPL’s long-term strategy in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.

Reliance has already invested ₹3,000 crore in setting up 12 state-of-the-art facilities equipped with Industry 4.0 technologies, achieving benchmark efficiency in FMCG manufacturing. Complementing this is a 1.5 lakh sq. ft. R&D centre housing over 100 scientists and holding 15 patents, focused on developing “first-to-India” and “first-to-world” products.

RCPL has rapidly emerged as a major player in the FMCG space, generating ₹11,500 crore in revenue in FY25. Its brands—including Campa and Independence—have gained strong market traction. The company aims to scale revenues to ₹1 lakh crore (USD 11.7 billion) within the next five years, positioning itself as India’s fastest-growing consumer brands business.
