Nestlé India’s board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated results on Oct. 15 for the quarter and half year ended Sept. 30, 2026. The company reported quarterly standalone total sales of ₹6,782.2 crore and profit after tax of ₹1,026.8 crore, increases of 20.5% and 36.3%, respectively, from the year-earlier quarter. The results came with a limited review report from statutory auditor S.R. Batliboi & Co. LLP.
Nestlé India said double-digit volume growth supported its sales increase. Manish Tiwary, the company’s chairman and managing director, cited food inflation and commodity costs as business pressures. “Rising inflation, particularly food inflation, is a reality,” he said.
The company expected coffee and wheat prices to stay within ranges and said sugar and edible-oil prices had leveled off at elevated levels. It described cocoa as volatile amid weather-related crop concerns and said milk prices had strengthened seasonally. Nestlé India said productivity measures and operational efficiencies were part of its response to cost pressures.
