On October 16, 2025, Nestlé India announced its Q2 and H1 FY26 financial results, showcasing solid performance across key business segments. The company's Q2 results highlighted robust domestic sales growth, with a focus on volume-led expansion, while its international segments also contributed to a positive outcome.
Let’s dive into the details of these results and the company’s strategic focus moving forward.
Nestlé India's unaudited standalone results for Q2 FY26 show a significant revenue of ₹56,302.3 million, marking a 10.9% year-on-year growth. This growth was largely driven by a 10.8% increase in domestic sales. The company reported a PAT of ₹7,532.0 million for Q2, with an EBITDA margin of 22.0%.
The earnings per share (EPS) for Q2 were ₹3.90, which was restated due to the 1:1 bonus issue in August 2025. For the first half of FY26, Nestlé posted a revenue of ₹107,041.9 million, reflecting sustained growth in both domestic and international markets.
In its consolidated results, the company’s total income for Q2 was ₹56,452.5 million, slightly higher than standalone figures, with a PAT of ₹7,431.7 million. The key contributor to this was the strong performance of its India operations, which more than offset the losses from associates like Dr Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited.
In Q2, Nestlé India reported impressive volume-led growth, particularly within three of its four product categories. Confectionery, led by KITKAT, saw a strong performance, with India now being the second-largest market for KITKAT globally. The MAGGI brand continued to shine, with double-digit volume growth, especially within the noodles segment.
Milk Products and Nutrition, while mixed, remained steady, and Pet Food showed a high double-digit growth due to new variants in the FRISKIES range. The company also capitalised on the festive season, driving growth in its out-of-home (OOH) business, which is now the fastest-growing market in its Zone.
