This persistent business performance is a result of our long-term strategic initiatives, strong market positioning and favourable market conditions.
Chemical product portfolio delivered growth in sales volumes as well as significant margins expansion. Fertiliser segment revenue increased significantly although margins impacted due to uncertainties around cost passthroughs and subsidies, he added.

To support continuous production, our country wide warehouse network will be used to distribute build-up stock in H2. Furthermore, the Ammonia Project at Taloja (Maharashtra) and the TAN Plant at Gopalpur (Odisha), are making strong progress on the ground and are on track Long-term growth is expected to be underpinned by change in product mix, head room availability of additional capacities emerging from better operational management and debottlenecking along with greenfield expansions
