Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL) has partnered with Finnish confectionery company Fazer to bring premium chocolates to the Indian market. The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to produce, market, and distribute Fazer’s iconic chocolate brands across India.
Under the agreement, RCPL will manufacture and distribute premium chocolates using Fazer’s original recipes and quality standards. The collaboration aims to combine Fazer’s internationally recognised chocolate expertise with Reliance’s strong retail network and deep understanding of the Indian market.
Fazer is a leading FMCG company in Northern Europe known for its high-quality confectionery, bakery products, and plant-based foods. By partnering with RCPL, the company plans to introduce its premium chocolate portfolio to Indian consumers and expand its global presence.
Reliance Industries believes the partnership can create a strong position in India’s rapidly growing chocolate and confectionery market, driven by rising consumer incomes and increasing organised retail. RCPL currently has access to nearly 3 million retail outlets across India, which will help scale the distribution of Fazer chocolates nationwide.
T. Krishnakumar, Director of RCPL, said that the collaboration is a strategic step toward introducing some of the world’s finest chocolates to Indian consumers while strengthening Reliance’s position in the confectionery segment.
The agreement was signed during the state visit of Finland’s President Alexander Stubb to India, highlighting growing business ties between the two countries.
Christoph Vitzthum, President and CEO of Fazer, said the partnership offers a strong opportunity to enter the fast-growing Indian market with the support of a capable local partner like Reliance. He added that the collaboration could help establish a premium presence in India’s chocolate market and support a nationwide rollout.
Currently, Fazer operates across the Nordic and Baltic regions, Poland, and China, and exports its products to more than 40 countries worldwide. Through this partnership, the company aims to accelerate its international growth and strengthen its position in new global markets, including India.
