Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL) has emerged as the "fastest-growing FMCG platform in India's history," achieving gross revenue of ₹22,000 crore (USD 2.3 billion) in FY26, representing a 2x year-on-year growth. As reported by Reliance Retail Director Isha Ambani at the AGM, RCPL was demerged from RRVL in December 2025 and is now a direct subsidiary of Reliance Industries. The company has steadily expanded its consumer goods portfolio across beverages, staples, daily essentials, packaged foods, and home and personal care products, with RCPL products now available in more than 40 countries through exports and franchise sales. RCPL's beverage brand Campa recorded gross sales of over ₹4,700 crore in FY26, emerging as India's fourth-largest carbonated soft drink brand with double-digit market share, while its grocery brand Independence generated ₹2,600 crore revenue and became one of the country's most-trusted consumer brands.
At the AGM, Reliance Retail unveiled a bold blueprint for its next phase of growth that extends far beyond traditional retail, as reported by Moneycontrol. Nykaa has unveiled ambitious plans to become a $5 billion Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) beauty and lifestyle business by FY30, with a net sales value of over ₹5,000 crore from its owned consumer brands' portfolio. The company plans to achieve this by expanding its footprint to 19,000 PIN codes and boosting sales contributions from Tier-3 and smaller markets. Marico expects the share of new businesses to expand to 27 percent, which was earlier targeted to reach 25 percent in FY27, with plans to move about one-third of its business by FY30. At the AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani highlighted the company's ₹30,000-crore investment plan for RCPL's growth, while brokerages emphasized Reliance's aggressive push into artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centres. The group's new energy business remains another important growth pillar, with analysts viewing investments in solar manufacturing, battery storage, and clean fuels as long-term drivers.
According to Moneycontrol, several factors including rising aspirations and a sustained premiumisation trend are aiding this confidence in growth. An FMCG executive noted that cheaper mobile data has helped cultivate aspirations among Indian consumers living beyond the metros, coupled with rising wallet share to discretionary spend. The rise of convenience shopping with quick-commerce has helped companies reach their go-to markets faster, while creating more demand. These factors aid the long-term positive growth that consumer firms can forecast. As reported by Motilal Oswal, Titan Company continues to outperform other branded players due to its superior competitive positioning in sourcing, studded ratio, youth-centric focus, and reinvestment strategy. RCPL's beverages business grew 3.2 times year-on-year in FY26, while daily essentials expanded 1.6 times and the home and personal care portfolio grew 1.3 times.
At the AGM, Chairman Mukesh Ambani provided an update on the proposed Jio Platforms listing, which is expected to be among the largest IPOs in India.

Motilal Oswal expects Reliance Jio to remain the biggest growth driver, contributing nearly 80% of incremental EBITDA, supported by an 18% EBITDA CAGR over FY26-28. The brokerage projects Reliance Retail to deliver a 12% revenue CAGR, aided by store additions and hyper-local offerings. Emkay Global highlighted the board approval and Sebi filing of the Jio Platforms IPO, while noting that Reliance Intelligence and AI infrastructure are entering the execution phase, with 120 MW of compute capacity expected by the end of CY26.
