Nestlé India: Net Profit Jumps 36%, Revenue Grows 20% YoY

NESTLEIND Nestlé India: Net Profit Jumps 36%, Revenue Grows 20% YoY **NESTLEIND** Nestlé India reported a strong Q2 FY27 performance, with consolidated net profit increasing 36.3% year-on-year to ₹1,026.8 crore compared with ₹743.2 crore in Q2 FY26. **Why it matters:** Revenue from operations increased 20.3% to ₹6,788.3 crore, driven by broad-based growth across product categories and strong double-digit volume growth. EBITDA increased 31% to ₹1,615.5 crore, while EBITDA margin improved to 23.8% from 21.8%. Domestic sales grew 20.4%, while exports increased 22%. However, advertising and marketing expenditure increased 46%, reflecting higher investments behind its brands. **My view:** Strong volume growth, improved margins and broad-based demand indicate healthy business momentum. Continued investment in brands could support long-term growth, although input costs and competitive intensity remain important factors. **What to watch:** Volume growth, raw material costs, EBITDA margins, advertising expenditure, rural demand and premium product sales. **Stance:** Nestlé India continues to demonstrate strong brand strength and earnings potential. Sustainable volume growth and margin stability will remain key. **Disclosure:** I am a SEBI Registered Research Analyst.
