Rs 44000000000! But Mukesh Ambani wants to separate this business from Reliance because…, it is…
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is all set to take out its FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) business into a separate entity and a move expected to be completed within this year depends on regulatory approvals. Currently, this business operates under Reliance Retail, but soon it will function as an independent unit within the broader Reliance Industries umbrella. During the Q1 FY2025 earnings conference call, it was confirmed that the FMCG vertical of Reliance Retail will be demerged and launched as a standalone company. Reliance Retail Growth Dinesh Taluja, CFO and Head of Corporate Development at Reliance Retail, said the company witnessed 11% year-on-year growth in Q1. Both the grocery and fashion segments performed strongly, while consumer electronics saw some slowdown due to an early monsoon. He stated that Reliance has a well-diversified portfolio in multiple categories which gives stable performance. During this quarter, Reliance opened 388 new stores, taking the total store count to over 19,600. Additionally, the company recorded a 16% YoY rise in customer transactions. The FMCG division saw big momentum, with Q1 revenue reaching Rs 4,400 crore, nearly double compared to the same period last year. Reliance Retail Sales Reliance noted that nearly 70% of its FMCG sales come from general trade, i.e., small neighborhood stores. While Reliance operates its own retail outlets (both B2C and B2B), it has also developed a nationwide distribution network to ensure product availability across regions. During this year's IPL, Reliance launched an ad campaign for its Campa Cola brand which gave good results. The company thinks this will also give stronger future sales for Campa and other products. Reliance is also setting up new factories and R&D labs across India. These facilities will incorporate automation and advanced technologies to ensure high-quality products at affordable prices. The goal is to make consumer products that are both appealing and economical. Reliance Retail New FMCG Brand The company stated that while its FMCG and retail businesses currently function distinctly, the demerger will formalize this separation. Both businesses will operate separately with professional independence. The new FMCG company will soon operate under the name 'Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL),' housing brands like Campa Cola.

Campa Cola corners 14% market share in key cities, claims Reliance Retail
NEW DELHI: Campa Cola, the soft drink brand owned by Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), a subsidiary of Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd, is reportedly gaining market share from established competing brands such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo in India. "Campa has now 14% market share in key markets," said Dinesh Taluja, chief financial officer of Reliance Retail, without naming these markets. 'We did a high decibel campaign during IPL for Campa, which has a very high recall. And we now have double digit market share in key markets. We are also pretty quickly expanding our supply chain and building robust manufacturing capabilities across the length and breadth of the country,' Taluja said during a recent analysts call. The New Indian Express could not independently verify the said market share of Campa Cola in the local soft drinks space. While these numbers are small in comparison to Coca-Cola's 60% market share and PepsiCo's 30% market share in the carbonated drinks market in India, Taluja believes 'these numbers are building up very fast.' The company says it is using 'world-class' manufacturing and R&D facilities with a lot of automation and backward integration, which would give it superiority on product as well as the lowest cost and help it win in the market. Campa is currently available in five flavours/ranges – Campa Cola, orange, lemon, Campa Powerup, and Campa Cricket (an energy drink). This soft drink brand was acquired by Reliance in August 2022 for Rs 22 crore. It was relaunched in March 2024. Reliance Retail's FMCG business raked in Rs 4,400 crore revenue in the first quarter (FY26), registering over 100% growth year-on-year. As the company announced earlier, RCPL will be soon demerged from Reliance Retail and will be made a direct subsidiary of Reliance Industries. The company says the proposed demerger, which will be completed in the current financial year, will help RCPL build a focused organisation and house all consumer brands portfolio, said CFO Taluja in the analysts call.
