Not only the profits, but the sales of the company's products have also increased significantly.

Market experts had estimated that the company's profit would be around Rs 926 crore and revenue would be Rs 6,196 crore. Nestle has left all these expectations far behind. Even on standalone basis, the company's net profit increased by 26 percent to Rs 1,114 crore.
Along with excellent results, the company has also taken special care of its shareholders. The board of Nestle India has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5 per share for the financial year 2025-26.

The record date has been declared as Friday, July 10 to decide which shareholders will be eligible to receive this dividend. That is, only those who have shares in their demat account till this date will get the benefit.
Aggressive marketing and strong sales have a big role to play in the company's excellent performance. Nestle India Chairman and Managing Director Manish Tiwari expressed satisfaction over these results and said that the company has registered double digit growth. During this period, domestic sales reached its highest ever level of Rs 6,445 crore. He said that in this quarter the company has increased its expenditure on advertisements by more than 50 percent, due to which there was a sharp jump in volume growth. Despite huge expenses, the company's EBITDA margin remains at a healthy level of 26.3 percent. Total sales and domestic sales have increased by 23.4% and 23.1% respectively.
Buoyed by the strong performance of Nestle India, investors bought heavily, due to which the company's shares jumped 7 percent to a new 52-week high of Rs 1,379.90 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
