Headquartered in the state of Haryana, Nestle India Ltd, the country’s largest food company, is continuing to invest further into India. The Swiss multinational, which has been operating in India since 1912, is currently in an unprecedented capital expenditure cycle according to Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director of Nestle India.
Another $41 million is on track to be invested by 2025. This investment, which amounts to 7% of Nestle India’s turnover, is significantly higher than the 3% level it had been investing in the last 8 years.
The investments are being channeled toward setting up a new factory in India’s eastern state of Odisha, increasing production capacities for their popular Maggi noodles range and coffee segment, and adding more production lines for chocolates including a new chocolate facility at their Sanand factory in Gujarat. Apart from capacity expansion, funds are also being directed toward augmenting Nestle’s distribution reach.
In 2022, Nestle had set up a greenfield plant in Sanand, with an investment of over $80 million . Now it plans to invest close to $100 millon to establish a new packaged foods plant near Bhubaneswar, Odisha, which will be Nestle’s 10th manufacturing facility in India.
Nestle India’s financial performance has been strong, with a 13.2% rise in net sales from 2022 – 2023. Net profit jumped 25.5% year-on-year
