Nestle India Q2 Profit Rises 36% on Strong Volume Growth; Shares Decline Amid Inflation Concerns
Nestle India reported a 36% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to around Rs 1,027 crore for Q2 FY27, with revenue increasing about 20% to approximately Rs 6,788 crore. The growth was driven by strong double-digit volume gains across product categories and increased brand investments, including a 46% rise in advertising spend. Despite robust earnings and EBITDA margin improvement to 23.8%, shares fell up to 9% amid investor concerns over persistent food inflation and volatile commodity costs. The company plans to mitigate cost pressures through innovation and operational efficiencies.
