RCPL launches its first integrated food park in Andhra Pradesh as part of its nationwide Rs 40,000 crore expansion plan.
INDIA – Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the fast-moving consumer goods arm of Reliance Industries, is set to establish its first integrated food park in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, with an investment of Rs 768 crore (US$84.9M).
The facility, located in Brahmanapalli village in the Orvakal area, forms part of RCPL’s larger Rs 40,000 crore (US$4.5B) initiative to develop food parks across India over the next three years.
Strategically positioned about three hours from Hyderabad and five hours from Bengaluru airport by road, the site will manufacture chocolates, confectionery, snacks, noodles, atta, rice and spices.
Spread across 120 acres allocated by the Andhra Pradesh State Investment Promotion Committee, the project will be executed in two phases and is expected to generate approximately 500 job opportunities.
In the first phase, production capacities will include 23,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of spices, 3,800 TPA of snacks and 14,400 TPA of noodles and pasta. The second phase will add 32,900 TPA of confectionery, 36,500 TPA of rice and 120,000 TPA of atta.
Additionally, 80 acres have been allotted for a beverages facility. The project is slated for state cabinet approval within two weeks. According to Reliance Retail Ventures executive director Isha Ambani, the investment in food parks will support RCPL’s aim of becoming India’s largest consumer goods company and reaching Rs 1 lakh crore in annual revenue within five years.
Earlier in September, RCPL signed a memorandum of understanding with the Maharashtra government to invest Rs 1,513 crore (US$171.4 million) to establish a manufacturing facility for beverages and food products in Katol, Nagpur.
In August, the company also announced an investment of Rs 1,622 crore (US$183.5 million) to set up a Campa Cola bottling facility in Vijayapura district, Karnataka.
