Reliance Consumer Products (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries, has signed an agreement to form a majority-owned joint venture with Nigeria’s Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, marking its entry into one of Africa’s largest consumer markets.
The partnership is aimed at expanding RCPL’s global footprint by establishing a strong presence in Nigeria and strengthens its overseas push after its expansion across the Middle East, South Asia and parts of Africa.
The Nigeria foray is expected to serve as a strategic gateway into West Africa.
Through the joint venture, RCPL will introduce a wide range of its fast-moving consumer goods portfolio to Nigerian consumers, leveraging TGI Group’s established manufacturing capabilities and extensive distribution network in the country.
Since its inception in 2022, RCPL has built a research and development backbone and scaled a portfolio of brands in India, positioning itself as a value-driven FMCG player offering global-quality products at affordable prices.
T. Krishnakumar, Director at RCPL, said TGI’s deep expertise and decades-long presence in FMCG, culinary and agribusiness sectors would be instrumental in scaling operations in the region.
Established in 1980 and headquartered in Lagos, TGI Group operates across food, consumer goods, agribusiness, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, with brands such as Big Bull Rice and Terra Seasoning Cubes reaching millions of consumers daily in Nigeria.
Rahul Savara, Group Managing Director of TGI Group, said the partnership would combine complementary strengths in product development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution to build a long-term growth platform in Nigeria and West Africa.
