Rs 44000000000! But Mukesh Ambani wants to separate this business from Reliance because…, it is…
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is all set to take out its FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) business into a separate entity and a move expected to be completed within this year depends on regulatory approvals. Currently, this business operates under Reliance Retail, but soon it will function as an independent unit within the broader Reliance Industries umbrella. During the Q1 FY2025 earnings conference call, it was confirmed that the FMCG vertical of Reliance Retail will be demerged and launched as a standalone company. Reliance Retail Growth Dinesh Taluja, CFO and Head of Corporate Development at Reliance Retail, said the company witnessed 11% year-on-year growth in Q1. Both the grocery and fashion segments performed strongly, while consumer electronics saw some slowdown due to an early monsoon. He stated that Reliance has a well-diversified portfolio in multiple categories which gives stable performance. During this quarter, Reliance opened 388 new stores, taking the total store count to over 19,600. Additionally, the company recorded a 16% YoY rise in customer transactions. The FMCG division saw big momentum, with Q1 revenue reaching Rs 4,400 crore, nearly double compared to the same period last year. Reliance Retail Sales Reliance noted that nearly 70% of its FMCG sales come from general trade, i.e., small neighborhood stores. While Reliance operates its own retail outlets (both B2C and B2B), it has also developed a nationwide distribution network to ensure product availability across regions. During this year's IPL, Reliance launched an ad campaign for its Campa Cola brand which gave good results. The company thinks this will also give stronger future sales for Campa and other products. Reliance is also setting up new factories and R&D labs across India. These facilities will incorporate automation and advanced technologies to ensure high-quality products at affordable prices. The goal is to make consumer products that are both appealing and economical. Reliance Retail New FMCG Brand The company stated that while its FMCG and retail businesses currently function distinctly, the demerger will formalize this separation. Both businesses will operate separately with professional independence. The new FMCG company will soon operate under the name 'Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL),' housing brands like Campa Cola.

Bengaluru Hebbal–Silk Board tunnel road may add to traffic snarls, add 22 gridlock situations: Detailed Project Report
The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for Bengaluru's ambitious Hebbal–Silk Board underground tunnel has indicated that fewer vehicles are expected to use the corridor in a no-toll scenario than in one where tolls are levied, both towards the city and the airport, suggesting more traffic congestion with tolls. This anomaly, revealed through a review of the traffic projections for the proposed 16.75 km tunnel, has raised eyebrows about the integrity of the demand modelling used to justify the project's viability. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar had earlier emphasised that 'without toll, the tunnel road project will not work.' The numbers defy logic, say mobility experts, who argue that tolling infrastructure generally reduces traffic volumes, as price-sensitive daily commuters, especially those heading into the city, tend to avoid toll roads. According to the final DPR prepared by Rodic Consultants for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), the number of vehicles (measured in Passenger Car Units or PCUs) projected during the morning peak hour in 2031 is 34,796 in a no-toll scenario. However, if toll is charged, the number drops to 33,057 PCUs (Scenario 2), and even further to 32,304 PCUs in Scenario 3 (alternative alignment with toll). DPR forecasts higher or similar volumes in toll scenarios, especially airport-bound trips in 2041, where Scenario 2 surprisingly shows more traffic than the no-toll scenario. In the morning peak hour projections for 2031, DPR estimates that 19,932 PCUs will travel towards the city and 14,864 PCUs towards the airport in a no-toll scenario, adding to 34,796 PCUs. However, in the toll-based Scenario 2, these numbers drop to 18,731 PCUs towards the city and 14,326 towards the airport at 33,057 PCUs. Scenario 3, another toll-aligned option, shows an even lower 18,405 PCUs city-bound and 13,899 PCUs towards the airport, totalling 32,304 PCUs. The pattern remains similar in 2041, with the no-toll scenario projecting 26,215 PCUs towards the city and 19,489 towards the airport (at 45,704 PCUs), compared to Scenario 2's 24,949 city-bound and 19,994 airport-bound PCUs (total: 44,943), and Scenario 3's 24,809 city-bound and 19,664 airport-bound PCUs (total: 44,473). DPR also proposes a toll of Rs 330 (one-way) for a distance of 16 km. The report also highlights that tolls for subsequent years are calculated based on a 5 per cent annual increase in the wholesale price index, with a 40 per cent restriction. Additionally, DPR also warns of at least 22 gridlock situations at entry and exit ramps if ramp capacities are not adequately designed or if traffic management is not strengthened. Some of the potential gridlock locations include the Chalukya Circle, Race Course Road junction, Minerva Circle, Cauvery Junction, Lalbagh West Gate, and other areas. The report recommends the need for additional slip lanes and turning lanes, signal optimisation and real-time monitoring systems. Satya Arikutharam, an urban mobility expert, said, 'BBMP's Tunnel Road proposal upends economic theory. Its traffic analysis outputs suggest that more cars will use the Tunnel Road facility when tolled. The entire transport modelling work is flawed, and the all-important modal share is just arbitrarily lifted from the old Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP). The DPR is flawed and unreliable, and I do not expect any credible bids for the tender.' Rajkumar Dugar, convenor, Citizens4Citizens forum, said, 'The tunnel road project is likely to do the exact opposite of what it promises. Any minor gain from commuting at an average speed of 50 kmph inside the tunnel will be almost entirely wiped out at the entry and exit points. Worse, it will create traffic chaos for those who aren't even using the tunnel. If the goal is truly to free up the roads, what's needed is a serious push for public transport — buses, metro, suburban rail and more.'

After month at Kerala airport, British Royal Navy's F-35B fighter jet set to fly out, parking fee bill being prepared
The British Royal Navy's F-35B fighter jet, which has been stranded at the international airport in Kerala after an emergency landing on June 14, is ready to fly back on Tuesday. Sources at the airport said the repair of the fighter jet at the Air India hangar is complete. 'The jet is now being taken back to the bay from the hangar, where it has been undergoing repair and assessment since July 6 after an engineering team from the UK arrived in Thiruvananthapuram. The 14-member engineering team, which has been here for safety checks and repairs, will return to the UK by Airbus A400M Atlas aircraft, which will land here on Tuesday. The fighter jet will also fly back on Tuesday,'' sources said. Airport sources said the parking fee for the jet fight is being calculated as per the existing norms. 'It would range between Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000 a day. Besides, there would be a fee for land for the fighter jet and the Airbus. It is calculated between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 2 lakh. Air India will fix the fee for using their Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the airport,' said the official. The F-35B from the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales made the landing in Thiruvananthapuram on June 14 when it was undertaking a routine flight outside the Indian air defence identification zone, which is a designated area of airspace extending beyond a country's sovereign territory. Thiruvananthapuram was designated as the emergency recovery airfield, a location where aircraft can land in the event of an in-flight emergency. Subsequently, the integrated air command and control system, a central command and control system that enables the Indian Air Force to monitor and manage air operations, detected the British fighter jet and authorised the aircraft to land after it had been diverted due to an emergency. Three weeks later, the UK engineering team arrived after their government accepted the offer of a space in the MRO facility. The UK High commission has earlier stated that the UK remains grateful for the support and collaboration of the Indian authorities and airport teams.
