Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) division of Reliance Industries, has reported significant growth, with its Campa brand achieving sales of ₹4,700 crore for the financial year 2025-26. This performance has positioned Campa as the fourth-largest carbonated soft drink (CSD) producer in India, challenging global giants like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
Overall, RCPL posted a robust revenue of ₹22,000 crore for FY26, with ₹7,350 crore generated in the fourth quarter alone. Ashutosh Goyal, Chief Financial Officer of Reliance Consumer Products Ltd, emphasized the company's aggressive expansion plans during RIL's Q4 FY26 earnings presentation. "To scale up the business, we are investing in manufacturing capabilities. We intend to become one of the largest manufacturers of cold drinks in the country," Goyal stated, adding that RCPL currently operates 12 plants across India.
Expanding Market Footprint and Product Portfolio
Beyond carbonated beverages, Reliance's packaged drinking water business is also experiencing rapid growth, securing its position as the third-largest branded water player in the country. The company's staples brand, Independence, contributed significantly with ₹2,600 crore in revenue.
RCPL's strategic growth extends through a series of acquisitions and relaunches aimed at diversifying its product offerings and strengthening its market presence. The beverages category saw a 3.2x growth over the past year, driven by supply chain expansion and strong execution. Daily essentials grew 1.6x, fueled by the Independence brand and recent acquisitions.
