The volume growth was broad-based across major segments, with standout momentum in milk products and nutrition, prepared dishes and cooking aids, and chocolates and confectionery. Management highlighted that calibrated pricing steps and easing inflationary pressures helped revive demand, especially in urban markets, while rural consumption showed initial signs of recovery. This multi-category strength demonstrates the depth of Nestlé’s Indian portfolio.

Revenue growth in the quarter benefited from a mix of volume increases and selective price increases, supported by affordability-focused offerings and innovation-led launches aimed at reinforcing market presence. Despite continued volatility in input costs, Nestlé India noted commodity price stabilization relative to the prior year, which provided some relief to margins.

Operational performance was further bolstered by enhanced manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, along with disciplined cost management. The company maintained robust advertising and promotional investments to strengthen brands and sustain medium-term growth. This strategic emphasis on brand building reflects a long-term focus beyond short-term price competition.
