Reliance Industries Transfers Stake in Reliance Consumer to 13 Investors Including KKR, GIC

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has finalised the demerger of its consumer goods business and transferred 16.45% stake in the newly formed Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL) to 13 financial investors who previously held shares in its retail arm. 

RCPL Stake Allotted to 13 Financial Entities 

Following the demerger from Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd (RRVL), completed on December 1, 2025, RIL allotted equity shares in RCPL to 13 prominent investment groups. These include entities owned by TPG, KKR, Qatar Investment Authority, GIC, Silverlake and Mubadala Investment Company. 

The shares were issued at a face value of ₹10 per share, with an additional premium of ₹0.88 per share. Together, these investors now hold a 16.45% stake in RCPL, while RIL continues to own the remaining 83.55%. 

This transaction resulted in RCPL's paid-up capital increasing from ₹6 lakh to ₹3,505.62 crore, as reflected in filings dated December 31, 2025. 

Purpose of Demerger and Business Segmentation 

The demerger separates Reliance’s fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) operations from its retail business, allowing RCPL to function with a segmented focus on consumer products. The company stated that the consumer goods sector requires distinct skill sets, funding structures, and appeals to different investor bases than retail operations. 

Reliance confirmed that RCPL now directly owns all of its FMCG brands, including Campa Cola and Independence. It is also reviving brands such as Velvette and Ravalgaon.

Share Capital Expansion and Strategic Structuring 

RCPL has increased its authorised share capital to ₹10,000 crore to support the recent allotment and future funding requirements. RIL's filings with the Registrar of Companies noted that the shareholding pattern of RCPL is aligned with that of RRVL, ensuring continuity for existing investors across both entities. 

Reliance Industries Share Price Performance  

As of January 14, 2026, at 9:22 AM, Reliance Industries share price on NSE was trading at ₹1,452.60 down by 0.01% from the previous closing price.  

Conclusion 

With RCPL becoming a standalone consumer arm under RIL, and 13 key investors acquiring a combined 16.45% stake, the corporate move marks a strategic internal realignment to streamline the consumer goods business.
