The company reported gross revenue of ₹16,900 crore for H1 FY27, representing approximately 1.8 times the revenue recorded in the corresponding period last year. Its September-quarter gross revenue reached ₹8,266 crore, up 1.6 times year-on-year.

Campa Drives Reliance’s Beverage Business Growth
Campa has become one of the most important brands in Reliance’s strategy to challenge established beverage companies in India.
Reliance entered the soft-drink market through its acquisition of the Campa brand in 2022. Since then, the company has expanded the brand’s distribution, manufacturing capacity and product portfolio.
The latest H1 FY27 performance indicates that the strategy is gaining traction. According to RCPL CFO Ashutosh Goyal, the beverage business generated more than ₹5,250 crore in sales during the first six months of the financial year.
The company said this represented more than 90% of the segment’s full-year FY26 sales.
Campa is competing with established international beverage companies, including Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Reliance’s strategy focuses on competitive pricing, wider distribution and expansion into different beverage categories.
The company has also reported double-digit market share in several states, although it has not disclosed a complete national market-share figure for the beverage business.
RCPL Becomes India’s Third-Largest NARTD Player
Reliance said its beverage business recorded 2.1 times year-on-year growth and made RCPL India’s third-largest player in the non-alcoholic ready-to-drink category.
NARTD includes packaged beverages that are sold ready for consumption, such as carbonated soft drinks, fruit-based drinks, energy drinks and packaged water.
RCPL’s beverage portfolio extends beyond Campa. Its brands include:
| Brand | Product category |
|---|---|
| Campa | Carbonated soft drinks |
| Spinner | Sports and energy drinks |
| RasKik | Fruit-based beverages |
| Sosyo | Carbonated beverages |
| Sun Crush | Fruit-based drinks |
| Campa Sure | Packaged drinking water |
This wider portfolio allows Reliance to compete across multiple consumption occasions instead of depending entirely on carbonated soft drinks.
The company’s strategy is also supported by investments in bottling infrastructure and distribution. Reliance has previously highlighted beverage production across 12 states and a distribution network reaching more than three million retail outlets through over 5,000 distributors.
RCPL Reports ₹16,900 Crore Revenue in H1 FY27
The beverage business is one part of a much larger expansion at Reliance Consumer Products.
RCPL reported gross revenue of ₹16,900 crore during H1 FY27, approximately 1.8 times its revenue in the corresponding period last year.
In the September quarter, the company generated ₹8,266 crore in gross revenue, representing 1.6 times year-on-year growth.
Its other major businesses also contributed to the performance.
| Business category | H1 FY27 sales or performance |
|---|---|
| Beverages | More than ₹5,250 crore |
| Daily essentials | Approximately ₹7,000 crore |
| Total RCPL gross revenue | ₹16,900 crore |
Daily essentials, led by the Independence brand, generated approximately ₹7,000 crore in the first half, growing 1.7 times year-on-year.
Edible oils, dry fruits and pulses were among the important contributors to this category.
RCPL is also expanding its home and personal care portfolio, while packaged foods are gaining traction through product launches and portfolio expansion.
These figures demonstrate that Reliance is building a diversified FMCG business rather than relying exclusively on Campa.
Reliance Expands Beverage Manufacturing Capacity
A major challenge for a beverage company seeking national market share is manufacturing and distribution.
Producing soft drinks at scale requires bottling facilities, packaging materials, warehouses, transportation networks and relationships with retailers.
Reliance is investing in these capabilities to support the expansion of its consumer-products business.
RCPL has initiated six integrated greenfield food and beverage manufacturing projects across India. The projects are intended to strengthen production capacity and improve the company’s ability to supply different markets.
The company has also commissioned additional high-speed beverage production lines.
Reliance’s wider manufacturing strategy includes integrated food parks designed to support multiple consumer-product categories. These facilities could help the company improve production efficiency and strengthen its supply chain as volumes increase.
RCPL Takes Campa and Other Brands Overseas
Reliance is also expanding its consumer-products business beyond India.
During the September-quarter earnings discussion, CFO Ashutosh Goyal said RCPL had entered major Australian supermarket chains, including Coles and Woolworths. The international expansion is supported by local production in Australia.
The company has also launched products in African markets, including Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria.
These moves are important because international expansion could provide additional growth opportunities for Campa and other RCPL brands.
Reliance has previously stated that its consumer-products portfolio is available in more than 40 countries through exports and franchise arrangements.
However, the company’s international presence does not necessarily mean that every RCPL brand is available in every market.
Reliance Targets ₹1 Lakh Crore Revenue by FY30
Reliance has set an ambitious target for its FMCG business.
The company wants RCPL to reach ₹1 lakh crore in revenue by FY30, positioning it among India’s largest consumer-products businesses.
Achieving this target will require sustained growth across several categories, including beverages, packaged foods, daily essentials and personal care.
The company will also need to maintain competitive pricing while investing in advertising, manufacturing and distribution.
Its rapid first-half FY27 growth provides momentum towards the target, but maintaining that pace as the revenue base becomes larger could become more difficult.
Competition from established FMCG companies and multinational beverage brands will remain an important factor.
The Bigger Picture
Reliance’s beverage growth reflects a larger shift in India’s consumer market. The country’s packaged-drinks industry offers opportunities for companies that can combine affordable pricing, strong distribution and locally relevant brands.
Campa gives Reliance an established brand name, but its wider strategy depends on building the manufacturing and distribution infrastructure needed to compete with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
The ₹5,250 crore first-half performance is therefore significant not only for Campa but also for Reliance’s ambition to create a large FMCG platform. Its progress in beverages, daily essentials and international markets will determine how quickly RCPL can move towards its FY30 revenue target.
Looking Ahead
RCPL is expected to continue expanding its beverage portfolio, strengthening distribution and investing in manufacturing capacity. Its entry into Australia and African markets also indicates that Reliance wants to build an international presence for its consumer brands rather than concentrate exclusively on India.
The next major test will be whether the company can convert its rapid sales growth into sustainable profitability while competing with established players. For now, crossing ₹5,250 crore in beverage sales during the first half of FY27 marks a significant milestone in Reliance’s FMCG expansion.
