Shares of FMCG major Nestle India rose up to 1.6% on Friday to an intraday high of Rs 2,356.80 on the NSE; Key points for investors
Nestle India Share Price: Shares of FMCG major Nestle India rose up to 1.6% on Friday to an intraday high of Rs 2,356.80 on the NSE, after the company announced that its board will meet on June 26, 2025, to consider and approve a proposal for issuing bonus shares. In anticipation of this meeting, the trading window for dealing in the company's securities will remain closed from June 19 to June 28.
Bonus shares are additional shares issued by a company to its existing shareholders free of cost, based on the number of shares already owned. These are typically issued out of the company's accumulated earnings and are aimed at rewarding shareholders, improving stock liquidity, and attracting broader investor participation—particularly from retail investors.
Meanwhile, Nestle India and IndusInd Bank are scheduled to be removed from the BSE Sensex effective June 23, as part of the index's semi-annual rebalancing. They will be replaced by Trent and Bharat Electronics, both of which recently saw increased investor interest following their inclusion in the Nifty50 index.
For the March 2025 quarter, Nestle India reported a 5.2% year-on-year (YoY) decline in standalone net profit to Rs 885 crore, even as revenue from operations rose 4.5% YoY to Rs 5,504 crore, marginally exceeding analyst estimates. Total sales grew 3.7% and domestic sales 4.2%, with the company citing broad-based demand across product categories.
Looking ahead, Nestle India noted that commodity prices remain firm for coffee, while cocoa prices, though slightly corrected, are still elevated. Prices of edible oils are stable, but milk costs have risen with seasonal demand during summer.
In FY25 so far, the company's powdered and liquid beverages category emerged as the top performer with high double-digit growth, while the confectionery segment also fared well with high single-digit growth, driven largely by KITKAT, for which India is the world's second-largest market.
Despite strong operational performance, Nestle India shares have underperformed broader indices, falling nearly 8% over the past year. In 2025 year-to-date, the stock is up about 7%, whereas the Nifty has gained over 5% in the past 12 months and 4.4% so far this year.
Nestlé India, a subsidiary of Swiss multinational Nestlé S.A., is one of the country's leading food and beverage companies. Known for brands like Maggi, Nescafé, KITKAT, and Milkmaid, the company has a long-standing presence in India and a strong footprint across urban and rural markets.

Once lauded by PM in Mann ki Baat, women-led millet factory in Bageshwar shuts down
1 2 3 4 5 6 Bageshwar: In Bageshwar's Munar village, a once-thriving women-led millet factory, praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 'Mann Ki Baat' address in April 2018, now lies abandoned, leaving 900 women jobless. The Maa Chiltha Cooperative Group, which ran the factory, has struggled for two years to maintain operations, and the unit has remained shut for the past year. "We turned our traditional grain into gold. The country recognised our work, but the system didn't support us. Policies changed, interest vanished, and we were left behind," said Tara Takuli, 60, who led the initiative. The women had successfully transformed mandua (finger millet) into nutritious biscuits that gained national recognition. Their products were once part of govt schemes for Anganwadi centres and pregnant women, and the enterprise had reached a turnover of Rs 15 lakh, providing livelihoods to over a thousand women and their families. The biscuits were also sold in stalls at govt-organised events. The decline began post-Covid, as govt support and bulk orders dwindled. A project once showcased as a model of rural entrepreneurship gradually faded from official priority. "The Prime Minister called Munar's women a national example. Today, those same women are back to square one: jobless and forgotten," said Gopa Dhapola, a local resident. "Ragi biscuits, rich in nutrition, were once sent to pregnant women. Then the govt policy changed and now they get only wheat and rice in the name of nutrition. This is not just a failure, it's betrayal." However, officials denied that policy changes led to the factory's closure. "The govt had no direct role. Internal disputes within the committee caused the shutdown. We've issued notices and are planning to form a new committee to restart operations," said chief development officer R C Tiwari. Local leader Harish Aithani said after the PM mentioned the initiative, the popularity of the biscuits soared and farmers' income tripled. "Mandua prices rose from Rs 20 to Rs 60 per kilo, and jobs flourished. But now, with the factory shut, it's all come to a halt. The administration hasn't stepped in since," he added. The factory's closure underscores the fragility of grassroots initiatives lacking sustained institutional backing and how political recognition without practical assistance proves ineffective.
