The rating agency stated that the rating affirmation reflects our view that the strong balance sheet buffers built by TCL in recent years will support its financial profile through the ongoing period of oversupply in the global soda ash industry, despite weakening EBITDA margins. The rating is also supported by TCL's strong business profile as one of the world's largest soda ash producers, its cost competitive and geographically diversified operations, and the industry's end-market diversification. Tata Chemicals is one of the world's largest producers of soda ash, with a global capacity of 3.981 million tonnes per annum (4.401 million tonnes including sodium bicarbonate and 6.501 million tonnes including salt as well). The company's manufacturing operations are spread across India, the US, the UK and Kenya. The scrip fell 2.49% to currently trade at Rs 806.15 on the BSE. Powered by Capital Market - Live

Mukundan, MD & CEO of Tata Chemicals, said, 'Overall demand for soda ash, in India was stable, while some segments like container glass in Americas and Europe experienced muted demand. Unprecedented heavy rains in July and August impacted Mithapur operations leading to lower production as compared to the previous quarter, thus impacting margins. However, Company's overall performance was better as compared to previous quarter due to higher sales volume, coupled with higher realization of soda ash. Our focus is on customer engagement and stable operations, while ensuring steady contribution margins with a focus on costs. We continue to work with our customers and other stakeholders on our sustainability and digitisation efforts.'
