Reliance Consumer Products Limited will make a ₹1,156 crore investment to set up a combined manufacturing facility at the SIPCOT Allikulam Industrial Park in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. State Industries Minister, T.R.B. Rajaa, stated that the development showcases the state's increasing popularity as a FMCG manufacturing hub.

The factory will be a greenfield project that will cover 60 acres and will focus on making a variety of products such as local snacks, biscuits, spices, atta, and edible oils. It is expected to become a centre for multi-product manufacturing and provide job opportunities to 2,000 people from the surrounding areas in the next five years.

Minister Rajaa thanked Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for his leadership under the Dravidian Model and said that Tamil Nadu is attracting the big national and international investors in various sectors.
