Communication captures situations in day-to-day life which make us prone to tension and how daily use of Tata salt Lite will help one look at the lighter side of life.

Unveiling the new Tata Salt Lite, R Mukundan, executive vice president, Tata Chemicals, said, "With the launch of Tata Salt Lite, Tata Chemicals reiterates its commitment to contribute to the wellness of its consumers and help them experience the lighter side of life. Our research showed that the available salt brands do not cater to this niche segment of low sodium salt users. We therefore felt the need of introducing this new speciality salt brand, which would meet the essential need of low sodium in addition to being refined and iodised. We plan to get a foothold in the health and wellness segment with Tata Salt Lite, as it will assist our consumers in the management of high blood pressure and heart related diseases."
