Reliance Consumer Products Signs Rs.40,000 Crore Pact with Government to build Nationwide Food Factories

The agreement paves the way for the development of integrated food manufacturing facilities across the country.

The MoU was formalized at the World Food India 2025 event in New Delhi, marking a significant step in the government's collaboration with private industry to boost the agricultural value chain. This initiative is projected to generate large-scale employment, particularly in rural and semi-urban regions.

A Vision for Asia's Largest Food Parks

The colossal investment will be used to develop what Reliance Industries has announced will be "Asia's largest integrated food parks," featuring advanced technologies such as AI-driven automation, robotics, and sustainable technologies. The planned facilities aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem for the food industry, encompassing everything from sourcing and manufacturing to packaging and logistics.

As part of the initial phase, RCPL will invest over Rs.1,500 crore to establish integrated facilities for food products and beverages in Katol, Nagpur (Maharashtra), and Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh). This nationwide network of food parks is expected to strengthen India's position as a global hub for food processing.

Strategic Growth Engine for Reliance

This ambitious expansion was first unveiled during Reliance Industries' Annual General Meeting in August 2025. At the meeting, Reliance Industries director Isha Ambani identified RCPL as one of the group's key "growth engines" and set a formidable long-term goal for the company.

"Our long-term ambition is to become India's largest FMCG company with a global presence," Ambani stated, adding that the FMCG business would serve as a blueprint for expansion into other consumer categories like apparel and electronics. The company aims to achieve a revenue of Rs.1 lakh crore within five years.

Since its inception just three years ago, RCPL has emerged as one of India's fastest-growing FMCG companies, already generating revenue of over Rs.11,000 crore. The company has built a diverse portfolio through strategic acquisitions, such as Tagz Foods, and by launching its own house brands, including Campa, Independence, Alan's, Enzo, and Ravalgaon.

This partnership with the central government represents a strategic shift in India's food infrastructure development. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a nationwide footprint, Reliance is poised to significantly enhance the country's food manufacturing capabilities, benefiting farmers, creating jobs, and offering consumers a wider range of processed food products.
