Nestlé India is ramping up production of its popular chocolate brand Munch with the addition of a new manufacturing line at its Sanand facility in Gujarat. The expansion, which involves an investment of approximately ₹225 crore funded through internal accruals, is expected to add around 8,300 tonnes per annum to the company’s production capacity and is slated for completion by FY2025–26.
This move is part of Nestlé India’s broader capital expenditure strategy, which includes both greenfield and brownfield expansions aimed at meeting rising consumer demand across categories. By strengthening output for Munch—one of its key confectionery products—the company is reinforcing its supply chain and ensuring consistent availability in a highly competitive chocolate market.
The Sanand facility, which now joins Nestlé’s network of manufacturing plants producing Munch, plays a strategic role in supporting the brand’s growth trajectory. With demand for affordable indulgence products continuing to rise in India, the capacity expansion reflects Nestlé’s focus on scaling high-volume brands while improving operational efficiency and market responsiveness.
