Earlier in January this year, the FMCG major reported a 45% year-on-year jump in its net profit at Rs 998 crore for the October-December quarter of the ongoing financial year 2026, as compared to Rs 688 crore reported in the year-ago period.

Along with the December quarter earnings, Nestle India had declared an interim dividend of Rs 7 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26, setting February 6 as the record date. “2025 marked a landmark year for Nestlé India with the highest absolute and percentage reach gain achieved in a single year, barring the exceptional COVID period. This performance was led by strong expansion in rural markets, while urban performance was also best-in-class compared to peers,” said Nestle India Chairman & Managing Director Manish Tiwary.
