Bengaluru, February 8 (Udaipur Kiran): Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL), the FMCG arm of Reliance Industries Limited, has acquired a significant stake in Australia’s popular “better-for-you” beverage company Goodness Group Global Private Limited (GGG), marking another step in its global expansion strategy and entry into the Australian consumer market.

Under this strategic partnership, RCPL will introduce Goodness Group’s flagship brand Nexba and the hydration drink brand PACE—co-created with Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins—into India and several new international markets. The move is expected to strengthen RCPL’s health-focused beverage portfolio.

RCPL Director T. Krishnakumar said the partnership is an important milestone in establishing RCPL as a global FMCG company from India. He stated that health-focused brands such as Nexba and PACE would add depth to the company’s portfolio, and RCPL’s strong supply chain and distribution capabilities would help make these products widely available in India and other markets. He added that the company aims to deliver global-quality products at affordable prices to consumers.

RCPL already has a presence in markets including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Its existing portfolio includes Rasik and Sun Crush juices, zero-sugar carbonated beverages, and the herbal and natural brand ‘Shunya’.

Goodness Group Founder Troy Douglas said the company is encouraged by the growing acceptance of its brands and innovation. He described RCPL as a fast-growing and leading FMCG company, adding that the partnership provides a strong platform for the next phase of global growth. He said the group aims to reach 50 Western markets over the next five years, and the collaboration would support its ambition to achieve global leadership in the better-health category.

Sydney-based Goodness Group Global currently offers health-focused beverage options in more than 21 countries, including Australia. Its product portfolio includes Nexba gut-health drinks, BISON protein beverages, GOOD BREKKIE liquid breakfast, and PACE hydration drinks.
