Godrej Consumer Products Ltd is unfazed by the prospect of competition from Reliance's entry into the FMCG sector, having seen multiple disruptions, including the high-profile entry of Baba Ramdev's Patanjali, according to a top company official. The company is betting on its brand equity, wide range of portfolios and innovations to ward off competition, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) CFO Sameer Shah told PTI. "We have seen multiple disruptions in the FMCG sector. In 2005-06 every one said that modern retail would take the sector by storm with private labels and FMCG players would find it very difficult to compete. After 17-18 years nothing has changed with modern retail play, he said. Shah was responding to a query on how the entry of Reliance in the FMCG segment would change the competitive landscape of the sector. "It's too early to call on, he said adding, We have seen Patanjali a few years back. Five to six years back the expectation was they would take on every FMCG play

After stirring a price war in the soft drink segment with the relaunch of Campa, billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance has entered the personal and home care segment of FMCG, offering products at 30 to 35 per cent lesser price. Experts say "the jury is out" and a competitive offering from Reliance would attract the customers to try its products and evaluate performance, quality and perception in comparison to the same from the established brands. Products of RCPL, the FMCG arm and wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL), are available only in selected markets but the company is building a dealer network on a pan-India basis, and the availability of its products will be scaled up across modern and general trade channels. "They are creating a distinct and dedicated distribution network comprising traditional dealer/stockists as well as modern trade b2b channels," said an industry source.

Reliance Industries Ltd and its partner bp plc have re-launched an auction for sale of natural gas from their eastern offshore KG-D6 block after incorporating the government's new marketing rules to give CNG-selling city gas companies first priority over supplies. Reliance and its partner BP Exploration (Alpha) Ltd (BPEAL) will sell 6 million standard cubic meters per day of gas in an e-auction planned for April 3, a tender notice said. The price is indexed to the global LNG marker, JKM but will be subject to the government-notified ceiling price. The partners had originally planned the auction in January but days before that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, on January 13, published new rules for the sale and resale of gas produced from discoveries in deep sea, ultra-deep water and high-pressure-high temperature areas. This led to the auction being suspended and is now being re-launched after incorporating changes. Gas produced from wells drilled below seabed is used to .
