The Board of Directors of the company has also recommended a final dividend for the year 2021 of Rs 65 per equity share (Face value Rs 10 per equity share) amounting to Rs 626.70 crore. The record date for the purpose will be April 8, 2022. It will be paid on and from April 26, 2022.

Mr. Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director, Nestlé India said, "2021 was a very challenging year and I am proud of the determination of the team, our partners and stakeholders to face the context and continue to be inspired to grow."
Nestlé India witnessed broad-based, double-digit, volume and mix led growth, despite a highly volatile economic environment. Total sales and domestic sales for 2021 increased by 10.1 per cent and 10.7 per cent, respectively. Strong growth momentum continued in MAGGI Noodles aided by increased availability. KITKAT and MUNCH registered stellar growth throughout the year.
NESCAFÉ Classic continued to deliver double-digit growth. Growth in e-commerce was fuelled by new emerging formats such as 'Quick Commerce' and 'Click & Mortar'. We have progressed firmly and resolutely on our RURBAN journey and this has borne fruit with strong rural growth performance in addition to sustained growth in smaller town classes and urban agglomerates.
Besides, the company also said that its Sanand Factory in Gujarat is now fully operational and is meeting its highest standards. It added, the recent announcement by the Government of the PLI Scheme in Food Processing of which Nestlé India is a beneficiary will provide greater impetus to our manufacturing initiatives in the country.
