The company stated that global expansion was still a strategic goal, and that RCPL was already present in markets in West Asia, Africa, and South Asia. The firm has also gained entrance to the UK, Europe, and Australia as a result of recent overseas acquisitions.
In an effort to expand its food portfolio, RCPL purchased a controlling share in the staples and millet companies Udhaiyam and Manna last fiscal year. Additionally, the acquisition of Goodness Group allowed the company to buy foreign consumer brands like Brylcreem, Toni & Guy, Matey, and Badedas. As part of its larger strategy in packaged foods, RCPL is also bringing back SIL, a historic brand of processed meals.

The FMCG company aims to establish itself as one of the top diversified FMCG companies in India by cultivating leadership in key consumption categories. While beverages and basics now make up the majority of income, the corporation stated that the food, home, and personal care industries were shifting from pilot stages to scalable growth platforms.
During FY26, staples and beverages saw strong growth, resulting in a doubling of RCPL's gross revenue to Rs.22,000 crore. Campa, Reliance's soft drink brand, achieved Rs.4,700 crore in gross sales over the year and rose to become India's fourth-largest carbonated beverage brand by March 2026, with double-digit market share in important markets, according to the company.

Additionally, RCPL rose to the third-largest position among India's branded water players thanks to Independence water and Campa Sure.
RCPL is growing quickly by expanding distribution, integrating backwards, and investing in food parks.
Through over 5,000 distributors and over 40 nations, the FMCG sector now covers over 3 million retail locations across 60+ sub-categories.
The business stated that RCPL's value proposition of offering "global quality at affordable prices" will be strengthened by cost benefits gained through scale, backward integration, and cross-category efficiencies provided by vertically integrated food parks being built across India.
