Commenting on the results, Mr. R. Mukundan, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Chemicals Ltd., said,

“The Company has delivered a satisfactory performance during Q1FY24 as compared to Q1FY23 despite a challenging environment.  The soda ash prices got adversely impacted as many customers delayed their purchasing decisions due to new supplies expected from Inner Mongolia, China. This was further impacted by slower growth in Chinese economy post-COVID and softening of industrial production in developed economies and this may persist in the near term.  The Company had to adopt agile pricing to maximize volumes and ensure optimum utilization of capacity. We expect that the sustainability trend will continue to positively impact the demand for newer applications like solar glass and lithium in the medium to long term. Our focus is to ensure that we maintain our market share through customer engagement and continued agile pricing, and to ensure steady contribution margins with focus on costs”.
