Reliance to set up 60 acre integrated FMGC plant in Tamil Nadu

Mumbai: Reliance Industries’ FMCG arm, Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL) has announced its investment of Rs.1,156 crore to set up a large-scale integrated manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. The company has signed an agreement with the state government to set up its plant at the SIPCOT Allikulum Industrial Park in Thoothukudi, spread across 60 acres. This move is aimed at Reliance’s aggressive expansion in the FMCG sector, currently ranked as the fourth-largest sector of the economy.

“Another FMCG major chooses Tamil Nadu! Reliance Consumer Products Limited has chosen Tamil Nadu for its next big unit. The company will invest Rs 1,156 crore to set up an integrated manufacturing facility at SIPCOT Allikulam Industrial Park!” TRB Rajaa, Tamil Nadu’s Minister of Industries, announced on X.

The facility will also generate 2,000 jobs for locals over the next five years, he added.

“Under the Dravidian Model leadership of Honourable Chief Minister Thiru. MK Stalin avargal, we continue to attract marquee national FMCG players into the state, and there is no major sector we aren’t leaving untapped.” he added, praising Chief Minister MK Stalin’s leadership.

So far, the company has grown inorganically through notable acquisitions, including the then-defunct Campa Cola brand, health drink Shunya, and Raskik for beverages. The company aims to use its expansive pan-India reach through Reliance Retail and its e-commerce stores to undercut its rivals. The company is also looking to raise funds via an IPO sometime in 2027.
