A legacy Indian food brand is set for a new chapter as Reliance strengthens its push into the packaged foods space through a strategic acquisition and relaunch.
Reliance Consumer Products Limited, the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has acquired the 75-year-old heritage foods brand SIL from Sil Food India Private Limited and has subsequently relaunched the brand. The move marks a key step in Reliance’s broader entry into the packaged foods segment.
The transaction on behalf of Reliance Consumer Products Limited was led by Vinit Shukla and Prabhu Nagarajan. Legal advisory support for the acquisition and relaunch was provided by Khaitan & Co.
The Khaitan & Co transaction team included Purti Minawala, Shailendra Bhandare, Anisha Chand, Sweta Rao, and Yash Bhagwat.
The acquisition supports the company’s plan to establish a strong and diversified presence in packaged foods. SIL is being positioned as Reliance’s flagship foods brand, with offerings spanning noodles, jams, ketchups, sauces, and spreads.
With this relaunch, Reliance aims to modernise and scale a trusted Indian legacy brand while retaining its core consumer appeal. The strategy reflects the group’s focus on combining brand heritage with contemporary product development, distribution strength, and value-driven pricing.
The revival of SIL also aligns with Reliance’s wider ambition to build a future-ready foods portfolio by strengthening well-known Indian brands and delivering high-quality food products tailored to Indian households.
The transaction underscores Reliance’s intent to deepen its footprint in everyday consumption categories, while using established names to accelerate trust and reach in a competitive FMCG market.
