Nestle India posted a marginal increase in second-quarter profit on Thursday, benefiting from improving urban demand for items such as Maggi noodles and Nescafe coffee.

The Indian arm of Swiss food major Nestle said profit before exceptional items and tax rose to ₹1029 crore in the three months ended September 30 from ₹1021 crore a year ago.

Shares of the company rose 2.4% after the results.

Nestle, along with peers Hindustan Unilever and ITC, has noted an improvement in urban demand as disposable incomes benefit from a sustained moderation in inflation over the past few months and the Indian government's tax cuts.

Revenue for the quarter grew about 11% to ₹5644 crore, compared to the 1.3% growth a year ago that was impacted by weak urban demand. Comments
