1. INTRODUCTION

The instant noodle market is estimated at INR 2000 crore in India in 2016. The top players in the market are Nestles
Maggi noodles, HUL Knorr soupy noodles , Sun feast Yippee, Horlicks Foodles (Glaxo Smith Kline) and Indo
Nissin’s Top Ramen. Maggi noodles constituting 70% of market share, Yippee noodles constituting 20% and the
others constituting 10%. Maggi noodles was launched in India in the year 1980’s, by Nestle India Limited,
which became synonymous with noodles. Maggi noodles has a share of 80.2% in Nestle products.
Maggi noodles contributes 30.2% of total revenue i.e. 2961.2 crore in Nestle India as on 6th June
2015. Nestle share of prepared dishes and cooking aids have risen by 6% year on year over the last 6 years and
Maggi instant noodles was the main driver of this growth.

India’s food safety regulator in the reports had stated that Nestles (India) Maggi noodle products were termed unsafe
& hazardous because the levels of lead in some packets during inspection were higher than prescribed. Several states
had been tested for Mono sodium glutamate in the packets of Maggi noodles. The complaint stated that the packets
were deceptively labeled “NO ADDED MSG”. MSG might be present in instant noodle tastemakers for their taste
enhancing and preserving properties. Here Maggi over stepped the prescribed limit of MSG whereby the regular
intake of this causes several health issues. This was a major knock down for Maggi instant noodles.

The total loss incurred by Nestles Maggi noodles amounted to R.s. 320 crores out of which 210 crores worth goods
were recalled from the markets while goods worth 110 crores were withdrawn from their warehouses.
Pan India, out of the Maggi noodles withdrawn 27420 Tons of packets were sent to cement plants across India in
order to destroy the stock and also act as a raw material for cement manufacturing. Post its debacle Nestles India
Chief Etienne Benet was transferred to Switzerland and then appointed Suresh Narayanan as their new managing
director, India.

After its ban in India it repositioned itself and came back into the market with an emotional route. Nestle India has
successfully managed sales of 3.3 crore packs of its instant noodles Maggi in a wide spread of over
350 towns in India. These sales took place after the re-launch of the product on November 9, 2015
after the set conditions by Bombay High Court which were satisfied, thus leading to a lift on the
ban imposed by FSSAI and Maharashtra FDA, five months post its ban by central food safety
regulator FSSAI.

Our research paper thus tries to envisage the attempts Maggi India makes at repositioning put and
its impact on consumer behavior.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

1) Digital training academy 31st May 2015 stated that on 21st May 2015 – Indian state orders
recall of Maggi noodles. Indian food inspectors order Nestlé India to recall a batch of
Maggi Noodles from the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh claiming that tests have
found Maggi instant noodles "unsafe and hazardous" and accused Nestlé of failing to
comply with food safety law to which Nestlé responded that the initial response from the
global FMCG Company rejected the accusation that the noodles were unsafe and said on
their website and social media accounts that there had been no order to recall any products.
A statement on their website said that “The quality and safety of our products are the top
priorities for our Company. We have in place strict food safety and quality controls at out
Maggi factories. We do not add MSG to Maggi Noodles, and glutamate, if present, may
come from naturally occurring sources. We are surprised with the content supposedly
found in the sample as we monitor the lead content regularly as a part of the regulatory
requirements.”

2) Arnab Dutta & Nivedita Mookerji stated in their article of business standard June 6,
2015 that how Nestle responded to the crisis situation right from recalling their product
from stores, press conference and meetings with officials of Food Safety and Standards
Authority of India (FSSAI) and Nestle’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Bulcke. It
not only affected the maggi sale in Indian market but also in International market. Side
effects stated by FSSAI on Lead and MSG content were highlighted, Nestle was ordered
to send a compliance report also the progress report on recall of their products. Overall
sales of maggi are affected to a huge extent and their monthly target of Rs 200 crore will
not be achieved.

3) Anushree Chandran stated in her article of financial express of June 16, 2015 that all the
brands are susceptible to tarnished image due to both online and offline world. This was
more evident in case of Maggi controversy which had a huge impact on its brand value.
Similar was the case for McDonald’s, Kalyan jewelers, Ford Figo, Cadbury, Pepsi etc.
wherein the brand image in this competitive market was questioned. It said about how these
companies made their way out, being responsive to their current situation. With the recent
testing of maggi samples there will be many more FMCG companies in the radar of FSSAI,
still the top officials of Nestle believed that their product is completely safe and it will be
soon into the shelves. The article discussed about crisis management and explained that
it’s not easy to regain the brand image once tarnished.

4) Digital training academy 20th June 2015 stated that on Nestlé to destroy withdrawn noodles.
Nestle decided to destroy more than £32million ($50million) worth of Maggi Noodles in
India after they were deemed unsafe by regulators on 4th June 2015.
On 5th July they stated that, on 3rd July testing on Maggi noodles abroad finds levels of
lead are within food safety levels. After the food safety scare in India Maggi noodles have
been tested in other parts of the world to reassure consumers that they are safe. Results
from noodles tested in the UK found that levels of lead in the product are within EU levels.
Shortly after the UK results were published, Canada also cleared Maggi noodles as safe.

5) In an article stated in Economic Times of August 5, 2015 that FSSAI approved lab Central
Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) has found Maggi noodles complying with
the Food standards and it is completely safe. Nestle India's new chief Suresh
Narayanan said that bringing maggi back into shelves was their top priority.

6) Mr Ratna Bhushan & Shramana Ganguly of ET Bureau put this article of maggi on 20 Oct,
2015 stating that Nestle just prior to its re-launch which was slated for 9th Nov, 2015
planned to increase its spends on television commercials setting a ground for its comeback.
Before the maggi controversy, Nestle spent around 400 crores annually on advertisements
out of which 150 crores was spent on maggi. The re-launch was kick started with a print
ad by maggi saying “Your Maggi is safe, has always been”. The advertising mandates were
carried out by Mc Can World Group

7) ET Bureau in its article on 30 Nov, 2015 stated that Maggi has started production in all of
its 5 outlets in India.

8) The economic times article on 21st December 2015 stated that maggi is going to launch
more of its variants in the next 3-4 months. The variants they are planning to launch are
oat noodles, atta noodles and cup noodles. They were present in the market before the ban,
but after maggis comeback variants have not been launched. Maggi has sold 50-60 million
units after its comeback, against the 300-400 million units a year it used to sell before the
ban. Before the ban maggi had 1500 distributors they were selling through whereas
currently they have only 1000 after its comeback. They plan to reach the 1500 mark soon.

9) The economic times article on 28th December ,2015 stated that Maggi is eyeing double
digit growth and aiming to grow by increasing its presence on the digital media space and
also by pushing other categories of nestles products. Currently Maggi is available over 700
towns and sold in over 3 lakh small and big retail outlets. Nestle is pushing sales of its milk
5|Page
products and chocolates along with maggis re-launch. Along with print and TV ads Maggi
is also engaging with its customers via Facebook and twitter. Maggi had also tied up with
snap deal to push pre orders where 60000 bookings came in 5 minutes. Nestle sold 3.3
crore units of Maggi in the first 10 days. They also had a digital team handling the ‘we
miss you too campaign’ and have a toll free number to deal with customer concerns.

10) The economic times article on 9th January, 2016 stated that Baba Ramdev in an interview
mentioned that Patanjali noodles is going to overtake all major noodle companies including
maggi, barring HUL. Currently Patanjali is producing 100 tonnes of atta noodles and plans
to produce 300-500 tonnes in the near future. Patanjali is capturing a big share in the market
by producing at a lower cost and diverting 100% of its profits towards social service. In
the next 5-7 yrs they expect to earn a profit of 5000-10000 crores. Ramdev Babas persistent
campaigning against black money and corruption since the past 5 years has been aware
amongst the masses. Patanjali poses to be a huge threat to maggi in the coming years with
aggressive marketing and low production costs being on their side currently.

5. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The methodology used for collecting the data was as follows


Type of Data:
There are two ways in which data is collected: Primary data collection and Secondary data
collection. In our research we have used the primary method of data collection
Primary data: The data collected was through a survey which was circulated by google docs to
various people of different age groups. The data collected is reliable as it is the first hand data.
The answers were recorded, using which analysis was made.
Sample size: The sample size is a very important part of any statistical study. The sample size
selected for our research was 135.
Type of Questionnaire
Semi Structured questionnaire: The questionnaire used was a semi structured questionnaire as it
included both open ended and close ended questions.
Open Ended Questions: While conducting our research we have used the least amount open
ended questions.
Close Ended Questions: Our questions are close ended as they have a few options like yes, no or
maybe.
Example: Do you know about effects of MSG/lead content in Maggi?
o YES
o NO
o MAYBE

Close Ended Questions: There are many types of close ended questions.
a) Likert Questions: Likert questions show if the person agrees or disagrees with the
question.
For example: ‘After the ban, Maggi will regain its brand value’
b) Dichotomous: These questions have generally two options that is yes or no
For example: Were you awaiting the comeback of Maggi?
c) Polytomous : These questions have many options
For example: What according to you has helped Maggi regain its position?

9|Page
Type of Sampling:
Non probability sampling: In this type of sampling the samples are picked in a random manner.
There is no particular target audience that is chosen. Our questionnaire was circulated to
everyone without having any set of demographic constraint or age constraint.
Convenience Sampling: Convenience sampling is a form of non-probability sampling where
subjects are chosen as per the proximity and convenience of the researcher. In our research the
questionnaire was floated to the relatives, friends via facebook, emails and messages.
