Reliance Consumer Products announced plans to establish a comprehensive manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu with an investment of Rs 1,156 crore, marking another significant milestone in the state's industrial expansion drive.
The announcement came through State Industries Minister TRB Rajaa on Wednesday via his X account.
The integrated facility will be constructed on 60 acres at the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu's Allikulam Industrial Park in the Thoothukudi district.
The Allikulam Industrial Park represents one of SIPCOT's strategic developments in the southern region, designed to attract major manufacturing investments. The facility will focus on producing a diverse range of consumer goods, including regional snacks, biscuits, spices, atta (wheat flour), and edible oils.

Over the next five years, the facility is projected to create 2,000 local employment opportunities, contributing significantly to the region's economic development.
This job creation aligns with Tamil Nadu's broader strategy to promote industrial decentralisation and provide opportunities across different regions of the state.
Minister Rajaa emphasised the strategic importance of attracting major consumer goods companies to Tamil Nadu, stating that the government continues to draw marquee national firms across various sectors under Chief Minister MK Stalin's Dravidian Model of governance.
This investment follows Tamil Nadu's maiden TN Rising Investment Conclave held in Thoothukudi during August 2025. At that event, the state government secured 41 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) worth Rs 32,553.85 crore, with the potential to generate 49,845 jobs across multiple sectors.
The August conclave attracted major commitments from diverse industries, including electronics manufacturing, defence components, renewable energy, and advanced materials. Notable investments included Sakthi Group's Rs 5,000 crore ammunition facility and April Fiber Resource's Rs 4,953 crore man-made fibre unit.
Reliance Consumer Products' decision to establish its facility in Tamil Nadu could be seen as the South state's growing attractiveness as a destination for consumer goods manufacturing.
The state has been witnessing significant interest from major companies seeking to expand their manufacturing footprint in southern India.
This facility is expected to strengthen the company's presence in the competitive fast-moving consumer goods sector whilst contributing to regional industrial development.
