Reliance Consumer Products signs MOU with Finnish food major Fazer
Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL) has signed an MOU with Finnish food company Fazer to produce, market, and distribute Fazer's premium chocolates in India. This partnership combines Fazer's heritage brands with RCPL's distribution network to tap into India's growing chocolate market. Fazer reported net sales of EUR 1,200 million in 2025.
The partnership aims to strengthen Reliance's position in the growing Indian chocolate and confectionery market by leveraging Fazer's established brands and products. While significant, its full impact will depend on market reception and execution.
The announcement details a strategic partnership that is expected to benefit both companies by expanding market reach and introducing premium products, indicating a positive development for Reliance Consumer Products.
Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Finland's leading food company, Fazer. This strategic partnership aims to produce, market, and distribute Fazer's premium chocolates across India, utilizing Fazer’s recipes and quality standards.
The MOU was signed during the state visit of the President of Finland, His Excellency Alexander Stubb, to India, with the objective of strengthening business ties between the two nations and making Fazer's iconic brands accessible to the Indian market. The collaboration will leverage Fazer’s heritage brands and product innovation with RCPL's extensive retail network of nearly 3 million outlets in India and its deep understanding of the local market.
T. Krishnakumar, Director, RCPL, stated that the partnership is a strategic move to introduce world-class chocolates to Indian consumers and accelerate RCPL's growth in the chocolate and confectionery sector. Christoph Vitzthum, President and CEO of Fazer, expressed optimism about offering Fazer's unique products to the fast-growing Indian market and establishing a premium position in the chocolate segment. RCPL, established in 2022, has already expanded its presence in the confectionery market by reviving heritage brands and introducing popular global brands to India.
Fazer, a leading FMCG company in Northern Europe with net sales of EUR 1,200 million in 2025, has a global presence with operations in the Nordics, Baltics, Poland, and China, and exports to over 40 countries. The company is actively seeking opportunities for organic growth and mergers and acquisitions to strengthen its position in existing and new markets.
