Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) giant Nestle India Ltd announced a significant 17.37% dip in its consolidated net profit for the September 2025 quarter, bringing it down to ₹743.17 crore.
This figure marks a considerable decrease from the ₹899.5 crore net profit recorded in the same quarter last year, as detailed in a recent regulatory filing.
Despite the profit downturn, the company reported an encouraging 11% rise in revenue, reaching ₹5,630.23 crore for the September quarter, up from ₹5,074.76 crore in the previous fiscal year’s comparable period.
However, total expenses for Nestle India also saw an increase, climbing 12.9% to ₹4,616.73 crore during the second quarter of the current financial year.
Domestic sales within India showed robust growth, expanding by 10.8% to an impressive ₹5,411.02 crore in the September quarter, compared to ₹4,883.14 crore in the same period last year.
Exports also contributed positively, experiencing a significant 14.4% surge to reach ₹219.21 crore.
Manish Tiwary, Chairman and Managing Director, highlighted that the double-digit growth in domestic sales was primarily driven by increased volume.
He further elaborated, “Three out of four product groups achieved strong volume, all fueled by double-digit growth. Our domestic sales hit a remarkable ₹5,411 crore, marking the highest figure ever recorded in any single quarter.”
Following these announcements, Nestle India Ltd’s shares were observed trading at ₹1,265.55 on the BSE by afternoon, reflecting a 3.60% increase from their prior closing price.
