Though the US operations showed better production and realisation, the performance would have been better if not for the the planned outage during the quarter, said the company. The UK operations were back on track after some operational disturbance earlier this year while Magadi operations experienced improved sales realisations but the performance was impacted by heavy rains, it added.
The company expects its subsidiary Rallis India’s sales volumes to benefit from a normal monsoon in most parts of the country.
R Mukundan, Managing Director, Tata Chemicals said the consumer business reported a 33 per cent growth on the back of higher volumes from Tata Salt. It introduced a range of all-natural chutneys.
