Nestle's India unit misses profit view on sluggish urban demand
Adds share prices in paragraph 7 and analyst comment in paragraph 8
Jan 31 (Reuters) - Nestle India NEST.NS reported a quarterly profit below market expectations on Friday, as a slowdown in consumer spending in major cities and higher product prices dampened its sales.
Consumer goods makers are struggling to sustain profits due to inflation in palm oil, coffee and cocoa, while slow wage growth and higher prices of essentials like vegetables and pulses have forced city dwellers to tighten their belts.
"It was a quarter that was marked with food inflation, moderation in urban consumption, with gradual recovery in rural consumption," Nestle India Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayanan said in a statement.
The Indian arm of Swiss food giant Nestle NESN.S reported a profit of 6.96 billion rupees ($80.34 million) for the third quarter, up 6.2% from a year earlier, but below market estimates of 7.31 billion rupees, according to data from LSEG.
Revenue for Nestle India, home to brands such as Nescafe instant coffee and KitKat chocolate, rose 3.9% to 47.8 billion rupees for the three-month period ended Dec. 31, primarily driven by price hikes.
Revenue jumped 8.1% in the comparable quarter last year.
Shares in Nestle India, which also declared a dividend of 14.25 rupees apiece, climbed as much as 7.7% following the results. At its current levels, up 5.5%, the stock is on course for its best day in more than four years.
The "worst is behind" for consumer goods, with the fourth quarter set to improve sequentially on past price hikes, Nuvama analyst Abneesh Roy said, citing stock gains in Tata Consumer TACN.NS and Colgate-Palmolive India after "weak results".

India's Tata Consumer Products misses Q3 profit estimates on higher tea prices
Jan 30 (Reuters) - India's Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS reported a smaller-than-expected third-quarter profit on Thursday, hurt by elevated domestic tea prices that squeezed the company's margins.
The Tata group-owned company posted a consolidated net profit of 2.79 billion rupees ($32.2 million) for the October-December quarter, which was flat year-on-year. Analysts, on average, had expected a profit of 3.58 billion rupees, per data compiled by LSEG.
Tata Consumer, known for its 'Tetley' tea and its namesake brand of salt, was hurt by rising costs of domestic tea, the company said, as the commodity contributes nearly 60% to overall revenue.
Tea prices in India have been rising due to adverse weather conditions, higher production costs and supply chain disruptions, according to analysts.
Prices of tea in the northern parts of India increased 21% in the third quarter, while those in the southern parts jumped 38%, the company said, adding that this lifted raw materials costs by 34%.
Its Indian business, which sells packaged products including pulses and spices and accounts for 56% of profit, reported a 43% fall in profit during the quarter due to the surge in tea prices.
As a result, Tata's margins on consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) contracted by 210 basis points year-on-year in the third quarter.
However, the company's international businesses, which contributes nearly 30% to revenue, aided a 17% growth in overall revenue from operations to 44.43 billion rupees, beating analysts' estimate of 43.98 billion rupees.
Revenue from the international business rose 8% and profit from the segment grew 53% year-on-year.

BREAKINGVIEWS-Cracks in India’s consumption story run deep
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are her own. Refiles to add hyperlinks.
By Shritama Bose
MUMBAI, Jan 16 (Reuters Breakingviews) - If India wants to prop up its stalling economic growth, it will have to sacrifice some of the financial stability underpinning the country’s moment on the global stage.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, consumption by India’s 294 million households has nearly trebled to $2.07 trillion over the past decade. It is the top engine of the $4 trillion economy and drives around 60% of GDP. Yet consumer spending is weak and has decoupled dramatically from the path of national output since the year ended March 2023, according to economists at state-owned Punjab National Bank.
Beyond the luxury market where well-heeled Indians are spending big on the high life, cracks are appearing; car sales crawled during the usually busy annual Diwali holiday in October-November. Indians are eating out less often. Starbucks SBUX.O and its partner Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS, meanwhile, are pushing the brakes on expansion; their target to hit 1,000 coffee stores by 2028 is unchanged but they are slowing the pace of new openings. Starbucks has more than 6,500 stores in China.
As it stands, India expects its GDP growth in the current year to March will hit a four-year low of 6.4%, the lower end of the pace policymakers envisioned the country sustaining for the next decade. In short, consumption is fading before it has had a real chance to flourish.
A weak jobs environment lies at the heart of the problem. The abundance of labour in the world’s most populous country is making wages crawl. It puts a perverse spin on the vaunted demographic dividend: casual and regular workers in 2023 earned an average real monthly wage roughly 1% lower than in the previous year, an International Labour Organization report based on official data shows. That’s prompted fears of a middle class shrinking instead of growing.
As a result of stagnant real incomes, middle-class Indians don't have much left over for the kind of discretionary purchases that would power a U.S.-style consumer economy.
"There used to be a middle segment, which used to be the segment that most of us fast moving consumer goods firms used to operate in, which is the middle class of the country, that seems to be shrinking," Suresh Narayanan, chair of Nestle’s India NEST.NS unit, warned in October. His peers have sounded an alarm about weak consumption in rural India for years.
The problem is worryingly broad-based. IT companies, typically the biggest private sector employers, are making fewer hires and paying less. Demand for their services like those provided by Tata Consultancy Services TCS.NS is growing slower. Automation and advances in technology including artificial intelligence are killing repetitive jobs in outsourcing and financial services, so firms are not backfilling roles when they fall vacant.
Farmers’ incomes benefited in 2024 from a strong monsoon but it’s a brief respite after two years of stagnating incomes for the 46% of the workforce depending on agriculture. Climate change is upsetting weather and food-inflation patterns: in June, rating agency Moody's tipped water stress as a sovereign credit risk to India.
The long-term answer is to create more jobs outside of agriculture. Modi’s administration is pushing manufacturing investment in the hope that factories will absorb workers and pay them better. However, the foreign direct investment required to speed progress is declining.
In the short term, New Delhi needs to act to avoid a return to a trend of weak output and consumption growth following a two-year phase of post-pandemic revenge spending. The reduced private spending is hitting growth directly and shrinking tax collections. Poor demand also means lower private investment, and that burdens the government with an even bigger role in turbocharging GDP.
Authorities could cut taxes to stimulate consumption. They are considering lower levies on personal income in the budget in February, Reuters reported in December, citing two official sources. Yet New Delhi will be hard-pressed to forego revenue without imperiling its goal to consolidate the fiscal deficit to 4.5% of GDP by March 2026.
A larger deficit could further beat down consumption if it prompts a spike in the government’s borrowing costs, triggers a lower sovereign credit rating and weakens demand for the rupee in international currency markets. That would make India’s oil import bill heftier and prompt a surge in inflation: Oil prices are already spiking following U.S. curbs on oil tankers supplying Russian crude.
Those problems could quickly compound if, as expected, Indian policymakers try to keep exports competitive by allowing the rupee to track the weakening yuan. That currency is getting battered by fears of a second trade war between China and the United States under Donald Trump’s imminent presidency.
Alternatively, the central bank could boost consumption by making it easier for individuals to tap credit. New governor, Sanjay Malhotra, will be wary of risks stemming from eye-popping growth in consumer loan books as the banking system only recently recovered from a corporate bad debt crisis. The Reserve Bank of India raised risk weights for unsecured lending in November 2023. These measures added to a chill in consumer spending – personal loans are growing at nearly half their pace a year ago. Nonetheless, the RBI expects banks’ asset quality to weaken.
The rosy narrative of strong growth and macroeconomic stability is fragile. If policymakers do intervene, they would be better off doing it sooner rather than later.

India's Tata faces pressure in Starbucks joint venture as consumers cut back
Dec 16 (Reuters) - India's Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS "will calibrate" its plans to open Starbucks stores in the near term at a time when fewer customers are walking into its cafes in the world's most populous country, its top boss said on Monday.
"We will calibrate for the short term ... In the near term there will be pressure," Tata Consumer CEO Sunil D'Souza told Reuters, adding that its Tata Starbucks joint venture is still focused on reaching its 2028 goal.
Separately, D'Souza also said Tata Consumer's revenue would increase in the double-digit percentage range in the second half of the ongoing financial year, with profit coming under pressure due to higher prices of raw materials, including tea.

Hundreds gather to pay last respects to India's iconic business tycoon Ratan Tata
Repeats no change to text
By Tanvi Mehta
NEW DELHI, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Hundreds of people, including corporate leaders, politicians and celebrities, gathered in Mumbai on Thursday to pay their last respects to one of India's most respected business tycoons, Ratan Tata, who died aged 86.
Known for his exemplary business acumen and philanthropic nature, as chairman he led various companies under the Tata conglomerate for more than 20 years, which had revenue of $165 billion in 2023-24.
Although in recent years Tata was not as active in the day-to-day running of the group, he was consulted on big decisions by the Tata Sons leadership, a senior company executive told Reuters.
Tata had been in a Mumbai hospital since Monday, but the cause of his death was not immediately made public.
After his death, tributes poured in from around the world, underlining his popularity that transcended boundaries and generations.
"India and the world have lost a giant with a giant heart," U.S. ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said on X.
"He ... was instrumental in mentoring and developing the modern business leadership in India. He deeply cared about making India better," Google GOOGL.O Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said.
Draped in the Indian national flag, Ratan Tata's body was kept at a cultural centre in Mumbai, and his funeral will be conducted later in the day with full state honours.
India's central bank governor Shaktikanta Das, Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran and Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla were among early visitors to pay their last respects to the Padma Vibhushan awardee - India's second-highest civilian honour.
A licensed pilot who would occasionally fly the company plane, Tata never married and was known for his quiet demeanour, relatively modest lifestyle and philanthropic work.
"We will remember his legacy of transformative giving to Cornell," his alma mater Cornell University said on X, calling Tata their most generous international donor.

India widens spices probe amid contamination concerns
Adds details, report context paragraph 10-12
By Rishika Sadam
HYDERABAD, May 2 (Reuters) - India's food safety regulator said on Thursday it had ordered testing and inspections at all companies making spice mixes, widening an investigation into the sector as global regulators look into suspected contamination in two popular local brands.
Hong Kong last month suspended sales of three spice blends made by India's MDH and an Everest spice mix for fish curry. Singapore ordered a recall of the same Everest mix as well, flagging high levels of ethylene oxide, which is unfit for human consumption and a cancer risk with long exposure.
MDH and Everest products are hugely popular in India and also sold in Europe, Asia and North America, and the companies have said they are safe. Still, U.S. and Australian food authorities said they are gathering more information on the matter, and India had already ordered testing of the two brands' products.
The Indian regulator has now ordered officials to conduct "extensive inspections, sampling and testing at all the manufacturing units", for powdered spices, with a focus on those making curry powders and mixed spice blends for local and foreign sales.
"Each of the product sampled will be analysed for the compliance with quality and safety parameters," the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India said in a statement.
The agency added checks would also be made for any presence of ethylene oxide, whose use is banned in India, and "appropriate actions will be initiated as fit" after testing was completed.
India is the world's biggest exporter, producer and consumer of spices, and its domestic market for the products was valued at $10.44 billion in 2022, according to Zion Market Research.
Beyond MDH and Everest, other major manufacturers include Madhusudan Masala MADD.NS, NHC Foods NHCF.BO and consumer giants Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS and ITC ITC.NS.
None of the companies responded to a request for comment.
The Spices Board says India exported spice products worth $4 billion in 2022-23.
The Global Trade Research Initiative, a New Delhi-based think tank, said in a report on Wednesday that rising global scrutiny could put more than half of country's spice exports at risk.
If China decides to implement similar measures as other countries, Indian spice exports could see a "dramatic downturn", the report said.

HYDERABAD, May 2 (Reuters) - India's food safety regulator said on Thursday it had ordered testing and inspections at all companies making spice mixes, widening an investigation into the sector as global regulators look into suspected contamination in two popular local brands.
Hong Kong last month suspended sales of three spice blends made by India's MDH and an Everest spice mix for fish curry. Singapore ordered a recall of the same Everest mix as well, flagging high levels of ethylene oxide, which is unfit for human consumption and a cancer risk with long exposure.
MDH and Everest products are hugely popular in India and also sold in Europe, Asia and North America, and the companies have said they are safe. Still, U.S. and Australian food authorities said they are gathering more information on the matter, and India had already ordered testing of the two brands' products.
The Indian regulator has now ordered officials to conduct "extensive inspections, sampling and testing at all the manufacturing units", for powdered spices, with a focus on those making curry powders and mixed spice blends for local and foreign sales.
"Each of the product sampled will be analysed for the compliance with quality and safety parameters," the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India said in a statement.
The agency added checks would also be made for any presence of ethylene oxide, whose use is banned in India, and "appropriate actions will be initiated as fit" after testing was completed.
India is the world's biggest exporter, producer and consumer of spices, and its domestic market for the products was valued at $10.44 billion in 2022, according to Zion Market Research.

India's Tata Consumer slips on missing Q4 revenue estimates
BENGALURU, April 24 (Reuters) - Shares of India's Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS fell as much as 5.7% on Wednesday, after it missed fourth-quarter revenue estimates, as consumers cut back on discretionary spending amid sticky food inflation, while stiff competition also dampened demand.
The company's consolidated revenue from operations rose 8.5% to 39.27 billion rupees ($471.4 million), missing analysts estimate of 39.91 bln rupees, as per LSEG data.

India's Tata Consumer posts higher Q4 profit before one-time charge on steady local demand
BENGALURU, April 23 (Reuters) - India's Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS on Tuesday posted a rise in its fourth-quarter profit before a one-time expense, aided by strength in its domestic business that sells essential items such as pulses, grains and salt.
The company's consolidated profit before exceptional items rose to 5.09 billion rupees ($61.08 million) from 4.56 billion rupees a year ago.
Tata Consumer incurred a one-time charge of 2.16 billion rupees, relating to costs of acquisition during the quarter.
The Tetley tea maker's revenue from its India-branded business increased 10.4% during the quarter. The segment, which includes brands like Tata Sampann pulses and Tata Salt, contributes 63% to the revenue.
Its coffee products delivered a revenue growth of 45% during the quarter, the company added.
Revenue from international business, including regions like America, the United Kingdom and the Middle East, rose nearly 11%.
Consumer goods makers have seen muted volume growth over the financial year 2024 amid increased competition, sluggish rural demand and persistently high inflation.
However, analysts expected discounts and price cuts to help drive demand.
The company, which also runs a joint venture with Starbucks SBUX.O in India, opened 29 new Starbucks stores during the quarter.
In January, the company announced its acquisition of two packaged food brands, Capital Foods and Organic India.
"The transaction for Organic India closed on April 16 and we will focus on fast-tracking integration of the business to unlock value," said Sunil D'Souza, managing director and CEO.
Rivals Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS and Nestle India NEST.NS will also due to report results this week.
Shares of Tata Consumer closed up 0.2% ahead of results. The stock has gained about 7% so far in April versus a 0.08% drop in the Nifty FMCG Index .NIFTYFMCG.

India's Tata Consumer Products to raise up to $782 mln
Adds, details, share movement
BENGALURU, Jan 19 (Reuters) - India's Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS said on Friday it will raise up to 65 billion rupees (about $782 million) through the issue of commercial papers and rights issue of shares.
The company said it will raise 35 billion rupees via commercial papers, which will be used to fund some of the payment for its acquisition of two packaged food brands, Capital Foods and Organic India.
The remaining 30 billion rupees will be raised through a rights issue. The company did not specify what this will be used towards.
Last week, Tata Consumer announced that it would buy a 75% stake in Capital Foods for 51 billion rupees and wholly acquire Organic India for 19 billion rupees.
Capital Foods makes packaged food and condiment brands such as 'Ching's Secret' and 'Smith Jones' while Organic India makes a line of ayurvedic health products.
The Tata group-owned retailer says it expects a total turnover of between 10.5 billion rupees and 10.7 billion rupees from the two companies for fiscal 2024.
Tata Consumer is due to report its December-quarter results in the first week of February. Its shares have risen about 7% so far this year, following a ~42% rise in 2023.

Starbucks' India arm plans to operate 1,000 cafes by 2028
Jan 9 (Reuters) - Tata Starbucks, a joint venture between Starbucks SBUX.O and Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS, said on Tuesday it plans to operate 1,000 cafes in India by 2028, up from 390 currently, and double its workforce amid fierce competition from local chains.
The coffee chain said it plans to enter Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in tea-loving India and increase the number of its drive-thru, airport-based and 24-hour cafes.
It also plans to double its headcount to 8,600.
Among the first foreign coffee brands to enter India, the U.S. giant faces growing challenges from private equity-backed chains Third Wave and Blue Tokai which have opened about 150 stores between them in the last three years.

India's Tata Coffee posts strong Q2 pre-tax profit on lower costs, higher prices
BENGALURU, Oct 19 (Reuters) - India's Tata Coffee TACO.NS on Thursday reported a near 63% rise in second-quarter profit, as lower costs and higher prices for its premium brands such as Gold and Eight o'clock coffee more than offset subdued sales.
Consolidated profit before exceptional items and tax for the July-Sept quarter stood at 820.4 million rupees ($9.86 million), compared with 503.8 million rupees a year earlier, the company said.
The company, which is a supplier to a joint venture between U.S. coffee chain Starbucks SBUX.O and parent Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS, reported a 51.5% rise in pre-tax profit of its value-added business.
The business accounted for 82% of Tata Coffee's pre-tax profit in the latest quarter.
However, total revenue from operations fell 3.1% to 6.96 billion rupees.
"Coffee Plantation performance was subdued due to lower volumes sold, though realizations have improved," Managing Director Chacko Thomas said in a statement.
Expenses fell 5.3% to 6.37 billion rupees, as raw material costs eased.
Separately, Tata Coffee renamed K Venkataramanan as chief financial officer.
Tata Consumer Products will report earnings next week.
Earlier in the day, consumer major Nestle India NEST.NS beat estimates with a 37.3% rise in September-quarter profit on higher demand for its chocolates and instant noodles.

BREAKINGVIEWS-India’s consumers are surprisingly fragile
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are her own.
By Shritama Bose
MUMBAI, Oct 5 (Reuters Breakingviews) - India’s consumers illustrate a paradox. Even as gross domestic product grew at a world-beating pace of 7.8% in the three months to June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration is mulling an extension of its free food scheme for 56% of citizens beyond next year’s national poll and fast-moving consumer goods companies including Unilever and Nestle’s NEST.NS Indian units are introducing a wider range of low-priced packs to counter a consumption slowdown.
The signals are weak. Sales of consumer staples such as toothpaste and biscuits grew 8% in the three months to the end of June, halting a more than two-year streak of double-digit growth and marking a return to a longer-term trend seen over the last decade, per BNP Paribas research. Per capita net national income has risen 43% to 98,374 rupees ($1,183) in the nine years since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government came to power, official data shows. Yet real wage growth of lower-income households has been negative since March 2021 and turned marginally positive only in the three months to the end of December, per India Ratings & Research.
The $70 billion Hindustan Unilever (HUL) HLL.NS, the manufacturer of Dove soap, said in July it expects product volumes to recover only gradually due to high levels of cumulative inflation. Earnings forecasts reflect the difficult outlook: Analyst estimates for HUL’s net profit for the year to the end of March 2024 fell 2.7% after the company’s latest results update, per Visible Alpha. For biscuit maker Britannia Industries BRIT.NS the net income estimate was slashed 4.7%. Indians are cutting back spending on essentials like milk powder and floor cleaner by up to 24%, showed a Kantar report. Categories like hair oil have not fully recovered since Covid as fewer visits to the workplace have made some consumers minimise haircare spends.
The softness may be even worse than those numbers suggest. Consumer giants, both the multinationals and homegrown companies including Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries RELI.NS and Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS, are benefiting from formalisation – a common trend in developing markets where deep-pocketed players take share away from smaller, less organised merchants. It is the same principle that is increasing the willingness of Indians to put savings into equities, a trend that is propping up the stock market near record highs.
These are long-term positives for the Indian economy, but a fragile customer is not. The government has already cut the price of cooking gas for households ahead of key elections this year and next year. More handouts, if they come, will be something for companies to both cheer and worry about.

Nestlé India, Hindustan Unilever, Britannia, Parle Products, Dabur, ITC and Coca-Cola have launched multiple low-priced packs across noodles, toothpaste, soaps, soft drinks and biscuits as a strategy to counter the consumption slowdown due to inflation, The Economic Times reported on Sept. 28. An association of fast-moving consumer goods distributors has asked the government to restrict the number of pack sizes to four per brand to ease inventory management, the report added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration cut the price of cooking gas for households on Aug. 29 by 18% ahead of state elections later in 2023 and a national poll due to be held by May 2024. Indian officials are proposing to extend a free grains programme well into next year’s national election season, Bloomberg reported on Aug. 28, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

EXCLUSIVE-India's Tata seeks control of Haldiram's, snack maker wants $10 bln valuation -sources
Haldiram's a household name for snacks and sweets in India
Tata concerned valuation sought is too high - sources
Tata wants to expand consumer portfolio -sources
Adds valuation details and share reaction, paragraphs 4-5, 13-17
By M. Sriram and Aditya Kalra
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Tata Group's consumer unit is in talks to buy at least 51% of popular Indian snack food maker Haldiram's but is not comfortable with the $10 billion valuation sought, two people briefed on the matter said.
If successfully concluded, a deal would see the Indian conglomerate directly compete with Pepsi PEP.O and billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Retail.
Haldiram's, a household name in India, is also talking with private equity firms including Bain Capital about the sale of a 10% stake, they said.
Tata Consumer Products TACN.NS, which owns UK tea company Tetley and has a partnership with Starbucks SBUX.O in India, has baulked at the $10 billion valuation given that Haldiram's annual revenue is around $1.5 billion, the sources said.
Tata Consumer shares rose more than 3% in late Wednesday trade in Mumbai after Reuters reported news of the talks.
A third person with direct knowledge of the discussions said Tata wants to buy more than 51% but has told Haldiram's that its "ask is very high."
The potential acquisition represents an exciting opportunity for Tata, the person said, adding: "Tata (Consumer) is seen as a tea company. Haldiram's is huge in the consumer space and has a wide market share."
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity.
A spokesperson for Tata Consumer Products said it "does not comment on market speculation". Haldiram's Chief Executive Krishan Kumar Chutani and Bain declined to comment.
Family-run Haldiram's traces its origins back to a tiny shop founded in 1937 and is well-known for its crispy "bhujia" snack sold for as little as 10 rupees across mom-and-pop stores.
It has almost 13% share of India's $6.2 billion savoury snack market, according to Euromonitor International. Pepsi, famous for its Lay's chips, also has around 13%.
Haldiram's snacks are also sold in overseas markets like Singapore and the United States. The company has around 150 restaurants selling local food, sweets and western cuisine.
Purchasing Haldiram's would significantly expand Tata's consumer products reach.
"If you want to suddenly grow big in size, no one better to provide access than Haldiram's. No other brand attacks packaged food, and food services, with equal panache," said Ankur Bisen, head of consumer and retail at Indian consultancy Technopak.
Tata's consumer unit, which also sells salt, pulses and mineral water, had revenue of $1.7 billion in the past financial year. It is a relatively small part of the Tata Group, whose businesses span autos, aviation and hotels and which had combined revenue last year of some $144 billion.
Haldiram's Chairman Manohar Lal Agrawal last year told CNBC TV18 in an interview the company wanted to attract private equity investors and debut on the stock market in 2-3 years.
Haldiram's - which has multiple registered companies in the country - had revenue of at least $981 million in the financial year ended March 2022, according to regulatory filings. The first two sources, however, said its revenue is now close to $1.5 billion and annual operating profit is around $200 million.
