Tiwary emphasised that these gains are not accidental but the result of consistent operating discipline. \u201cOur double-digit volume growth was the result of choices made consistently and executed with discipline over time. Momentum has come from the fundamentals such as strong brands, high availability, disciplined investments and relentless execution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For Nestl\u00e9 India<\/a>, protecting consumption and market share takes precedence, especially when small price increases can impact volumes in mass categories.<\/p>\n A key buffer against volatility has been the company\u2019s sourcing strategy. Around 95 percent of its ingredients are procured locally, which reduces exposure to global supply disruptions and currency fluctuations. This is complemented by investments in digital supply chain capabilities, including advanced forecasting and touchless planning systems that help anticipate demand and manage procurement efficiently.<\/p>\n \u201cOur advanced forecasting and touchless planning capabilities enhance our ability to anticipate demand and secure critical commodities efficiently, which is essential for managing volatility and avoiding sudden pricing changes,\u201d Tiwary said.<\/p>\n The company has also focused on strengthening its manufacturing footprint. Recent capacity additions include new production lines for Maggi noodles and Munch at its Sanand facility, along with a greenfield factory in Odisha. These investments are aimed at supporting future growth while maintaining cost efficiencies.<\/p>\n At the core of Nestl\u00e9 India\u2019s strategy is a sharp focus on consumer centricity. \u201cConsumer truth must always prevail over internal opinion. If a decision does not genuinely make the consumer\u2019s life better, we challenge it,\u201d Tiwary said. This philosophy shapes decisions across the value chain, from product development to pricing.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the broader FMCG sector continues to navigate a complex cost environment. Companies are weighing selective price increases, grammage adjustments and efficiency measures to manage margins. Hindustan Unilever<\/a>, for instance, has taken price increases of 3 to 5% in certain categories to offset cost inflation running at 8 to 10%. Marico<\/a> has also initiated selective price hikes in response to rising input costs, particularly in key commodities.<\/p>\n In the March quarter, Nestl\u00e9 India reported a consolidated net profit of \u20b91,111 crore, up 27.19% from \u20b9873.4 crore in the year-ago quarter and revenue from operations rose 22.6% to \u20b96,748 crore, compared to \u20b95,504 crore a year earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiwary emphasised that these gains are not accidental but the result of consistent operating discipline. \u201cOur double-digit volume…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[13439,33681,33677,33680,33676,33678,18329,29842,201,33679,199,200,33683,33675,33682,21869],"class_list":{"0":"post-61030","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nestle","8":"tag-capacity-expansion","9":"tag-consumer-centricity","10":"tag-cost-discipline","11":"tag-digital-supplychain","12":"tag-fmcg-sector","13":"tag-input-costs","14":"tag-local-sourcing","15":"tag-maggi-noodles","16":"tag-manish-tiwary","17":"tag-margin-protection","18":"tag-nestle","19":"tag-nestle-india","20":"tag-price-hikes","21":"tag-pricing-strategy","22":"tag-profit-growth","23":"tag-volume-growth"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116528055854768978","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
