Reliance Industries has quadrupled the authorised share capital of its FMCG subsidiary Reliance Consumer Products to Rs 40,000 crore, up from Rs 10,000 crore in December, according to regulatory filings accessed through business intelligence platform Tofler. The move gives the company, which sells Campa Cola and Independence staples, more headroom for capital infusion as it scales up operations. The borrowing limit has been tripled to Rs 27,000 crore, and the investment limit doubled to Rs 4,000 crore.
The RCPL board also extended the tenures of executive directors T Krishnakumar, Ketan Mody and Asim Parekh by five years to 2030, approving the resolutions in July and August. RCPL reported total income of Rs 7,042 crore and a net loss of Rs 125 crore for December 2025 to March 2026. In its filings, RCPL said its business outlook for FY 2026-27 and beyond is positive, with both value and volume expected to grow.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same filings identically, offering straight business coverage with no political or ideological slant. Reliance has substantially increased the financial firepower of its FMCG arm ahead of what it forecasts as strong growth for FY 2026-27, while the business remains loss-making in the latest period. The extension of three executive directors through 2030 signals a long-term leadership commitment. The next check: whether RCPL can convert its doubled borrowing capacity into market share gains against entrenched players like HUL and ITC, and turn profitable.
