Reliance Eyes Majority Stake in Udhaiyams Agro Foods
Reliance, a big company in India, wants to buy most of another company called Udhaiyams Agro Foods.
Udhaiyams makes food like snacks and breakfast mixes.
Reliance plans to start selling these foods in some parts of India first and then everywhere.
The people who started Udhaiyams will still own a small part of the company.
Reliance is doing this to grow its food business and compete with other big food companies.
They think the food market in India will get much bigger in the next few years.
Reliance's consumer products arm is in advanced talks to acquire a majority stake in Udhaiyams Agro Foods, a Rs 668-crore company.
Udhaiyams competes regionally with established players like Tata Consumer Products, iD Fresh Food, and MTR.
Promoters S Sudhakar and S Dinakar will retain minority stakes in the company.
Reliance aims to initially focus on regional markets before expanding nationally.
This move is part of Reliance's broader strategy to intensify focus on packaged consumer brands, including food and beverages.
