Nestlé India gained nearly 4% in Wednesday’s trade, outperforming the Nifty FMCG index, as investors bet on strong festive demand and cost moderation. The company’s nutrition, coffee, and personal-care portfolios continue to deliver steady growth. Analysts attribute the rally to resilient consumption trends and premiumization in key brands. Institutional flows supported momentum in large-cap defensives ahead of earnings. Nestlé remains one of the best-performing consumer staples this quarter, benefiting from pricing discipline, distribution expansion, and sustained volume recovery across urban centers.
