The company had posted a net profit of Rs 261.18 crore during the corresponding period of previous year, Nestle India said in a filing to the BSE.
Net sales of the company rose to Rs 2,115.59 crore for the second quarter, as against Rs 1,963.10 crore during the same period of 2011.
Net domestic sales have increased by 7.6 per cent mainly on account of net realisations and product mix, the company said.
“Domestic sales growth during the quarter has been adversely impacted by portfolio/channel optimisation and pricing for value in certain products,” it added.
