Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries, has completed the acquisition of Tamil Nadu-based Southern Health Foods Private Limited, bringing the well-known health-food brand Manna into its expanding foods and staples portfolio. The deal, valued at approximately Rs 156.42 crore in cash consideration, was finalised on February 9, 2026, making Southern Health Foods a wholly owned subsidiary of RCPL.
Manna, a brand with a legacy spanning over two decades, specialises in a broad range of nutrition-oriented products including millet-based staples, health mixes, multigrain products, breakfast cereals, oats, baby foods, beverages, and other wholesome offerings. The acquisition strengthens RCPL’s foothold in the rapidly growing health and nutrition segment, complementing its existing portfolio that includes brands such as Udhaiyam, Independence, and SiL.
RCPL said that the move aligns with its strategic vision to build a robust presence in the health-foods and millet-based foods category — an area that has seen increasing consumer demand driven by rising health consciousness and preference for nutritious eating. According to the company, Manna has built strong brand recognition particularly in Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states, and RCPL now plans to leverage its extensive distribution network, research and development capabilities, and supply-chain strengths to propel the brand into new geographies across India.
“We believe Manna is one of the most trusted names in the health-focused foods market. Integrating it into our portfolio will help us serve consumers with nutritious products while driving growth across markets,” said T. Krishnakumar, director at RCPL.
With this acquisition, Reliance Consumer Products reinforces its commitment to offering global quality at affordable prices, expanding its reach in a segment that is expected to grow strongly as Indian consumers increasingly adopt healthier dietary lifestyles.
