Key Highlights
Here are the key takeaways from the company's June quarter performance, as per their investor presentation:
The sales volumes for Soda Ash, Bicarbonate (Bicarb), and Salt are 1,265 Kts for the current quarter, and 1,278 Kts for the previous year.
Soda ash markets continue to be over supplied, with high inventory levels in most regions.
Revenue saw a slip driven by lower realisation due to pricing pressure in all regions, and lower volumes mainly on account of Lostock cessation.
Demand-supply balance continues to be soft, coupled with uncertainties in Soda Ash trade driven by tariff changes.
"Market conditions remain fluid with overall global demand estimated to be flat in near term, due to the uncertainty associated with trade tariffs," said Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer R Mukundan.
"The company’s overall performance is resilient, driven by strong operating performance and disciplined cost management despite lower realizations mainly due to pricing pressure in all geographies," he added.
Shares of Tata Chemicals closed 0.02% higher at Rs 946.55 apiece on Friday, as compared with a 0.9% decline in the benchmark Nifty 50.
