Nestlé said part of the expenditure will go towards the company’s new food processing unit in Odisha, which was confirmed as the location for its tenth factory in India last month.

The Odisha facility will be predominantly used to manufacture noodles but, depending on the market, could be used to produce other products such as chocolate and confectionery.

Until 2020, the KitKat and Maggi maker had invested around Rs70bn in its Indian business.

Last week, Nestlé’s India business announced its results for the second quarter of the year, reporting better-than-expected earnings thanks to price increases and demand for its chocolates and packaged foods, including Maggi noodles.
