Perfect recipe! 2-minute Maggi fires-up Nestle to record high during lockdown; this is how much it sold

People have had to change their lifestyle in many ways during lockdown to adjust themselves inside the confines of their homes. However, that did not adversely affect Nestle. In fact, this company's business skyrocketted!  Zee Business reports that during this period, Maggi consumption has gone to a record high. This rise in Maggi consumption is getting reflected in the volume growth of Maggi in year on year (YoY) basis as it has gone past its figure before the 2015 ban, when it was at a massive high!

Zee Business exclusive report says, "Maggi volume in YoY terms has gone past its volume of pre-2015 ban levels. Its volume in 2014 was at 2.54 lakh metric ton while today its volume stands at 3.64 lakh metric ton, which reflects about the comeback of Maggi, the market leader in the instant noodle segment." While Maggi logged sales in 2014 of Rs 2,961 crore, today it stands at Rs 3,500 crore, which is way above the pre-ban levels.
