While Nestlé India has denied the allegations and stated no material impact, the mere mention of legal action by a regulatory body like FSSAI can cause short-term concern among investors and consumers, potentially affecting trading activity.
The news report, although denied by the company, creates a negative perception and potential regulatory scrutiny, which can impact investor sentiment and stock price.
