RIL's FMCG division inks MoU with Finland?s leading foods company Fazer

Reliance Consumer Products (RCPL) is the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries (RIL).

Finland-based Fazer is a leading FMCG company in Northern Europe, renowned for its high-quality confectionery, bakery and plant-based products.

Under the strategic arrangement, the companies will introduce Fazer?s branded chocolate portfolio in the Indian market, combining Fazer?s product formulations and quality standards with RCPL?s local manufacturing capabilities and nationwide distribution network that reaches nearly three million retail outlets.

The partnership aims to leverage RCPL?s scale and consumer reach alongside Fazer?s global chocolate brands to build a presence in India?s rapidly expanding chocolate and confectionery market.

The collaboration also supports RCPL?s broader strategy of expanding its presence in chocolates and confectionery following earlier brand revivals such as Ravalgaon, Toffeeman, Pan Pasand and Lotus Chocolates, while providing Fazer an entry platform into the Indian market through an established domestic distribution and commercialisation partner.

T. Krishnakumar, director, Reliance Consumer Products (RCPL), said: Partnering with Fazer is a strategic step towards introducing one of the world?s finest chocolates to Indian consumers. This will also accelerate RCPL?s growth in chocolates & confectionary market.

Reliance Industries is India's largest private sector company. Its activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, advanced materials and composites, renewables (solar and hydrogen), retail and digital services.

On a consolidated basis, the conglomerate reported 1.6% rise in net profit to Rs 22,290 crore on 10% increase in gross revenue to Rs 293,829 crore in Q3 FY26 over Q3 FY25.
