Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director, Nestle India, said: “I am pleased to report that this quarter we witnessed double-digit growthin Beverages and Confectionery, with 3 out of 4 product groups delivering healthy growth. Our domestic sales crossed Rs 5,235 crore mark, the highest ever in any quarter supported by improving volume growth. My heartfelt appreciation to my colleagues in our offices, factories and salesforce for their resolve and abiding teamwork in navigating external challenges. During the financial year ended 31st March 2025, Powdered and Liquid Beverages was the largest growth contributor, with high double-digit growth. NESCAFe strengthened its leadership position by gaining market share and bringing more than 5.1 million households into the coffee category. NESCAFe Ready-to-Drink cold coffee range, one of the fastest growing segments globally, expanded its new range to India this year. Driven by cold coffee consumption among Gen Z and Millennials, it is creating entirely new coffee-drinking occasions. Confectionery grew at a high single-digit pace both in value and volume driven by KITKAT. India is the second largest market for the brand globally. Prepared Dishes and Cooking Aids posted mid-single-digit growth with MAGGI returning to volume growth and MAGGI Masala-Ae-Magic consistently demonstrating good growth. India continued to be the largest market worldwide for MAGGI. Milk Products and Nutrition was backed by launches. By reinforcing our commitment to offer nutritious choices to consumers through meaningful innovations, we achieved our ambition of introducing new CERELAC variants with no refined sugar. CEREGROW variant with no refined sugar too was launched this financial year and the early response is encouraging. The Petcare business reported high double-digit growth – the highest ever, since its integration into the Nestle India business. PURINA FELIX and FRISKIES cat food brands achieved high growth. PURINA PRO PLAN dog food continued to be well-received by pet owners. Out-of-Home (OOH) business delivered strong double-digit growth and is emerging as one of our fastest growing businesses. I am delighted to announce the OOH business has forayed into the ‘cocoa-based spreads category’ with the launch of KITKAT® Professional Spread that can be used by chefs to incorporate KITKAT’s signature taste and texture in hot and cold dessert. I am happy to share that the opening of NESPRESSO’s first boutique in India in New Delhi last month, has resonated exceptionally well with coffee connoisseurs. Penetration, premiumization and innovation combined with disciplined resource allocation have been key in driving growth. Since 2015 we have recalibrated and re-energised our product portfolio, by launching over 150+ new products contributing 7% of sales. To serve our consumers we have an omni-channel approach, and this implies that our brands are available at locations and channels that are most convenient for consumers. One such channel is e-commerce, which continued in its growth trajectory, propelled by the rapid expansion of Quick Commerce, contributing to 8.5% of domestic sales, in this financial year ended 31st March 2025. I am pleased to share that we remain committed in our RUrban journey. We have strengthened our route to market through a comprehensive RUrban strategy focused on five key pillars: Infrastructure, Product Portfolio, Visibility, Consumer Connect, and Technology. Our RUrban distribution touchpoints have increased to 27,730. We are present in approximately 208,500 villages. RUrban smart stores and HAAT activities in village markets have been enhanced and use and interventions with technology accelerated. We are investing approximately Rs 6,500 crore between 2020 and 2025 to develop new capabilities and capacity. This not only demonstrates the strong demand for our products but also our commitment to manufacture in India and 'Make in India'., The Odisha factory, our 10th citadel of growth, is being set up with an initial investment of approximately Rs 900 crore, in its first phase, to manufacture products from our foods (Prepared Dishes and Cooking Aids) portfolio. The spectre of climate change is rapidly intensifying, demanding swift action. We have increased our reliance on renewable energy, implemented sustainable logistics practices, minimized waste. We continue to promote circular economy and have transitioned to sustainable packaging. Our supply chain resilience is being strengthened. Through regenerative agricultural practices greenhouse gas emissions are being reduced. We work closely with farmers and suppliers to source raw materials responsibly. One noteworthy endeavor in environmental sustainability is our proprietary technology called ‘Zer'Eau’ in Moga and Samalkha factories. Here water extracted from milk is recycled to reduce groundwater consumption every year by around 20%. In line with our commitment to society, we have positively impacted the lives of over 16 million beneficiaries through initiatives that align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. These include rural development, education, nutrition awareness, environmental initiatives, livelihood enhancement, feeding support programs, and water and sanitation improvements. Commitment and collaboration are key pillars of our business. I would like to express my gratitude to our partners, suppliers, retailers and distributors for their trust and faith. Result PDF
