Reliance News: Reliance Retail Witnesses 11% Growth in Q1, Set to Launch FMCG Business as an Independent Entity

Reliance News: Reliance Industries is planning to make a huge move in the FMCG sector by separating its current FMCG operations, which are now under Reliance Retail, into a new organisation called Reliance Consumer Products Limited. This strategic pivot will put the corporation in direct rivalry with industry titans like HUL and ITC. Despite slight pressure in the consumer electronics segment, Reliance Retail achieved an impressive 11% year-on-year growth in Q1 FY2025. CFO Dinesh Taluja also announced the addition of 388 new retail outlets during the quarter, bringing the total number of stores to over 19,600. The company has been strengthening its distribution channels in both the B2B and B2C segments, resulting in higher transaction volumes and deeper market penetration.

Reliance to Demerge FMCG Business

Campa Cola’s IPL marketing campaign increased sales by Rs 2.5 billion and improved brand recall. This success demonstrates Reliance’s growing influence in the FMCG space. The company is also investing in new factories and research centres across India, with the goal of generating high-quality products through automation and smart technologies. By dividing the FMCG and retail verticals into independent, professionally managed entities, Reliance hopes to improve company focus, offer more investment opportunities, and strengthen its market presence.
