Nestle India, the maker of Nescafe, reported its strongest quarterly performance in nearly a decade, with total sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, reaching ₹23,071.5 crore. This marks a significant increase from ₹20,077.5 crore in the previous fiscal year. In the fourth quarter alone, sales surged by 23.4%, amounting to ₹6,445 crore. The company attributed its growth to a combination of double-digit volume increases, heightened advertising spend—up by over 50%—and strong performance in e-commerce and beverages. The powdered and liquid beverages segment, particularly coffee, saw sustained growth, supported by new product launches and premiumization strategies. Additionally, Nestle India's omnichannel strategy expanded its reach to approximately 216,000 villages, improving distribution and execution. Despite increased brand investments, the company maintained a solid EBITDA margin of 26.3%, reflecting effective cost management and operational efficiencies. Manish Tiwary, Chairman and Managing Director, emphasized the company's commitment to consumer-centric growth and technology-driven operations.
