Mumbai, Feb 14 (IANS) Nestle India on Wednesday reported a 22.35 per cent rise in its net profit during 2017.

“Total sales and domestic sales for the year increased by 7.7 per cent and 8.2 per cent, respectively. These growth rates are adversely impacted due to lower reported sales by the change in structure of indirect taxes and reduction in realisations to pass on the GST benefits,” the company said in a statement.
