🟢 At a Glance:
Nestlé India (NSE: NESTLEIND) is calling shareholders for its 65th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 5, 2025, and it’s sprinkling in an ₹8 per share final dividend as dessert. After the 1:10 bonus share drama last year, this is a return to the classic FMCG playbook — cash rewards, clean books, and calorie-rich consistency.
🍫 Dividend Details
| 🧾 Particulars | 💰 Value |
|---|---|
| Final Dividend | ₹8 per equity share (FV ₹1) |
| Record Date | June 14, 2025 |
| Payout Date | Within 30 days post-AGM |
| Ex-Date (expected) | June 13, 2025 |
That’s on top of the ₹27 interim dividend already paid in 2024. Total dividend for FY25 = ₹35 per share.

📈 Nestlé India Financial Snapshot (FY25)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹20,476 Cr |
| PAT | ₹3,445 Cr |
| EPS (pre-bonus) | ₹143 |
| EBITDA Margin | ~23% |
Despite cost pressures from milk, coffee, and packaging, Nestlé has kept the brand machine rolling — Maggi, Nescafé, KitKat, and Ceregrow continue to dominate shelves.
🧠 EduInvesting Take
This AGM is not about drama — it’s about reassurance.
- ₹8 final dividend = signal of stability
- ₹35 total dividend = 1.2% yield = not bad for a consumer staple
- Laurent Alsteens = Nestlé global DNA on Indian board
- Deloitte stays = no audit switch = investor confidence intact
Nestlé doesn’t run. It walks. But it walks like a Swiss watch.
🧊 Risks & Calm Notes
- Rising input costs could hit margins in H2 FY26
- Valuation remains rich (P/E above 70) — but this is FMCG royalty
- Any disruption to supply chains (global or local) can hit inventories
But unless you think Indians are giving up Maggi at 2 AM — you’re safe.
🧾 Final Word
Nestlé India’s 65th AGM says one thing:
“We’re boring, and that’s beautiful.”
✅ No governance red flags
✅ Dividend on time
✅ Board and auditor steady
✅ Strong FMCG brands intact
Sometimes, you just need a stock that won’t give you heartburn.
