- Confectionery: All power brands KITKAT, MUNCH, and MILKY BAR registered high double-digit growth aided by media campaigns, attractive consumer promotions, and distribution drives.

Q3 CY21 Business Highlights:
- The E-commerce channel is expected to continue its growth journey and Nestlé India is gaining increasing traction herein. More players have increased their footprint in the E‐commerce space along with infrastructure development by existing E‐commerce customers.

- MAGGI Noodles and POLO have been introduced in the markets of the Middle East recently. Crunch Wafers have been introduced in ASEAN markets.
Commodity Outlooks:
The price outlook for key categories like wheat, coffee, edible oils remains firm to bullish while costs of packaging materials continue to increase amid supply constraints, rising fuel, and transportation costs. Input prices are expected to be on a bullish trend both globally and to some extent locally. The recent announcement of scrapping import duties on edible oils, if continued next year, beyond March 2022, can have a positive impact on muting food inflation pressures.
What Should Investors Do?
Nestle India is one of the leading FMCG Companies and hence has always been a great pick for Conservative to Moderate Investors. The Company has performed very well and up to the market expectations in the Q2FY22. But do not take this discussion as direct investment advice. Do follow due diligence before making any investment decisions and avoid lumpsum investment in this market situation and follow a staggered approach of investing.
