According to Reliance Retail’s Chief Financial Officer Dinesh Taluja, the consumer brands business achieved almost Rs 11,450 crore of sales in the second year of operations.
Taluja added that the company will continue to expand its reach through general trade, leading to 3.5x year-on-year growth in sales during the period.
On the distribution network of the FMCG, the CFO said that the business was up 30% on a Y-o-Y basis.
“We are expanding the reach of the business. The merchant base was up 60% on a Y-o-Y basis,” Taluja added.
