Nestle India Limited is a food and beverage company that has a strong presence in the FMCG industry in India. It is a subsidiary of Nestle S.A. of Switzerland. Nestle India operates through eight manufacturing facilities and four branch offices spread across the country. The company’s product portfolio takes up about 85 per cent of the FMCG market share in India. It benefits from strong brand equity and new product launches. The popular products include Maggi noodles and its variants, Nescafe, KitKat, Nestle yoghurt, Milo, infant formula Lactogen NAN and infant cereals like Cerelac, EveryDay tea creamer, Milkmaid, Munch, etc.
The Indian economy is experiencing a slow and steady growth owing to the impact of rising global trade tensions and the credit squeeze in the domestic market. Hence, businesses had registered a reasonable growth in revenue and profits during the year. With the hope of stability in governance and growth-oriented policies worldwide, better growth rates in the economy and industry are expected. The FMCG business in the global industry remains challenging because of the slowdown of consumption mainly due to shrinking diaspora, mass lay-offs, politically unstable situations in key markets and steep local currency depreciation in few economies. Due to the prolonged effect of the implementation of GST, companies have reduced the number of their warehouses and recovery of production activities has been slow.
