TATA CHEMICALS
Article Abstract:
The Rs1,600-crore Tata Chemicals is now focusing on nitrogenous fertilizers. The fertiliser unit accounted for about 47 percent of the company's turnover in 1997-98. Tata Chemicals is also continuing with soda ash and chemicals. It improved the capacity utilisation at the soda ash plant to 120 percent. Yet sales were restricted due to poor market conditions. The company is no longer threatened by cheap imports in the soda ash sector. Its scrip is being traded at Rs125. The company's future depends upon the government's decision on retention price issue and on the fertiliser industry.
