Shares of Nestlé India surged over 8% in Tuesday’s closing session, hitting nearly a one-month high.
The rally came after the company reported strong financial results and announced a dividend for FY26.
The growth was driven by higher sales volumes and increased spending on advertising, which helped boost demand across categories.
Dividend Announcement: What Investors Should Know
Nestlé India has recommended a final dividend of Rs 5 per share (face value Re 1).
The record date is set for July 10. This means investors must hold the stock before this date to be eligible for the payout.

Export sales performed even better, rising 21% to Rs 952 crore.
This shows steady demand both within India and in international markets.
