Commenting on the results, Mr. R. Mukundan, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Chemicals Ltd., said, “The pandemic impacted some parts of our operations and supply chain during the quarter. Nevertheless we are also looking at this as an opportunity to improve our operating capabilities and review our growth strategy. In India, Mithapur has been producing all products with additional emphasis on Salt and Bicarb as both these products fall under essential commodities. We would like to thank the local and district authorities for their support to enable us to continue operations and the Indian Railways for facilitating uninterrupted availability of rakes for product movement enabling us to ensure supply of critical products to our consumers. We will continue to monitor the market demand and ensure agility in our operations with renewed focus on product supply, cash position, optimal CAPEX spends, and reduction in fixed costs. As the world recovers from the pandemic situation, safety of our employees, our extended value chain partners and the communities around which we operate will remain our focus areas while we continue to work closely with our customers enabling them to get back on track at the earliest.”
