Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the fast-growing FMCG arm of Reliance Industries, has signed a ₹40,000-crore memorandum of understanding with the Government of India to develop a network of large-scale, AI-powered food parks. The agreement was finalized at the World Food India 2025 summit in New Delhi, and represents one of the biggest private sector commitments in the country’s food processing industry.
The first two food parks will come up in Katol, Nagpur district of Maharashtra, and in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, with an initial investment of ₹1,500 crore. These facilities are planned as integrated ecosystems, combining robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence to modernize food manufacturing, improve supply chain efficiency, and reduce waste. Officials estimate the project will generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, while also boosting India’s food exports.
Reliance had first flagged its entry into food infrastructure during its Annual General Meeting in August. At the time, director Isha Ambani outlined RCPL’s ambition to scale into a ₹1-lakh-crore FMCG powerhouse within five years, building on its current portfolio that includes Campa Cola, Independence, Alan’s, Enzo, Ravalgaon, and recent acquisition Tagz Foods.
In just three years, RCPL has posted revenue of over ₹11,000 crore, making it one of the fastest-growing players in India’s consumer goods sector. With the latest agreement, the company is positioning itself at the intersection of food processing and advanced technology, an area long flagged as critical for India’s agricultural economy.
The government has welcomed the investment as a strategic step toward building Asia’s most modern food manufacturing clusters. RCPL is expected to expand the model to additional states after Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, setting a new benchmark in technology-led FMCG growth.
