Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has announced a significant investment of over ₹1,500 crore to set up a state-of-the-art integrated food and beverage manufacturing facility in Katol, near Nagpur, Maharashtra. The new unit is slated to be operational by 2026 and is expected to create more than 500 direct jobs.
The investment forms part of RCPL’s aggressive expansion strategy in the food processing sector, aimed at strengthening its footprint in the fast-growing FMCG market. The company has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Maharashtra government, which has pledged to provide all necessary approvals, clearances, and financial incentives to facilitate the project.
RCPL has seen rapid growth since its inception, crossing ₹11,000 crore in revenue within just three years, fueled by its strong retail network and expanding portfolio of brands. The upcoming Nagpur facility will bolster the company’s manufacturing capabilities and support its ambition to become a leading player in India’s FMCG landscape.
The Maharashtra government, keen on attracting major industrial investments to drive economic growth and employment, welcomes Reliance’s commitment. This move aligns with the state’s broader objective to develop Nagpur and its surroundings as a hub for food processing and allied industries.
With this investment, Reliance Consumer Products not only aims to meet rising consumer demand for packaged foods but also contribute to regional industrial development and job creation, reinforcing Maharashtra’s position as a preferred investment destination.
