The KitKat chocolate maker's consolidated revenue saw an increase of 4.4% to Rs 5,503 crore in Q4 FY24 compared to 5,267 crore in Q4 FY24.
According to Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director of Nestlé India, the Q4 FY25 witnessed double-digit growth in Beverages and Confectionery, with 3 out of 4 product groups delivering healthy growth.
Narayana added, "Our domestic sales crossed the Rs 5,235 crore mark, the highest ever in any quarter supported by improving volume growth".
According to the Q4 earning report, Nestlé India attributed the growth to mainly beverages sales which posted "high double-digit" growth.
On the other hand, confectionery grew at a high single-digit pace both in value and volume driven by KitKat, the FMCG major said.
Further, prepared dishes and cooking aids posted mid-single-digit growth with Maggi returning to volume growth and Maggi Masala-Ae-Magic also demonstrated positive growth.
The petcare business reported high double-digit growth – the highest ever, since its integration into the Nestlé India business.
"Out-of-Home (OOH) business also delivered double-digit growth and is emerging as one of our fastest growing businesses", the filing mentioned.
