Reliance Industries consolidates FMCG Pportfolio under New RCPL following internal demerger

Reliance Industries has completed the transfer of its consumer brands business into New Reliance Consumer Products Ltd, making the entity an 83.56% direct subsidiary. The restructuring streamlines ownership of the FMCG portfolio and simplifies the group’s retail and consumer products structure.

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has finalized an internal restructuring that moves its fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands portfolio into a newly constituted entity, New Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (New RCPL). The reorganization, effective December 1, 2025, was implemented under a court-approved scheme involving Reliance Retail Ltd., Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd.(RRVL), and Reliance Consumer Products Ltd.

Under the arrangement, the consumer brands undertaking was transferred to New RCPL on a going-concern basis, while the earlier subsidiary entity was dissolved. As part of the share-swap mechanism, New RCPL issued one fully paid-up equity share of Rs 10 for every two fully paid-up RRVL shares held by existing shareholders. Following the allotment and cancellation of pre-scheme capital, New RCPL has become an 83.56% direct subsidiary of RIL.

RIL, controlled by Mukesh Ambani, already holds 83.56% in RRVL, with the remaining 16.44% owned by external investors. The restructuring consolidates the group’s consumer brands operations under a clearer ownership structure.

For investors and sector participants, the move enhances structural transparency within India’s largest retail ecosystem, potentially enabling sharper capital allocation, improved brand scaling, and greater strategic flexibility in the highly competitive FMCG and organized retail markets.
