Nestlé India will continue to invest more than ₹2,000 crore annually in capital expenditure as the country’s premium consumer segment remains resilient despite pressure on broader urban demand. Speaking on the company’s growth outlook, Nestlé India Chairman and Managing Director Manish Tiwary said that consumers at the higher end of the market continue to spend on premium products, providing confidence for sustained investments in manufacturing capacity and innovation.
The company’s ongoing investment programme is part of its broader expansion strategy, which includes capacity additions across existing factories, new production lines for key brands such as KitKat and Maggi, and the development of a new food manufacturing facility in Odisha. Nestlé India has maintained its commitment to annual capital expenditure of over ₹2,000 crore to support future demand and strengthen its domestic manufacturing footprint.
Management noted that while sections of the urban middle class continue to face spending pressures, premiumization remains a strong growth driver in India’s fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market. The company sees significant long-term opportunities in premium food and beverage categories as consumer preferences evolve toward higher-value products.
Nestlé India’s investment push comes as the company expands production capabilities nationwide and deepens its presence in high-growth categories. The strategy reflects confidence in India’s consumption story and the increasing role of premium products in driving revenue growth for leading food and beverage companies.
