Consolidated Business Mein Thoda Dard
Toh hua yun ki Tata Chemicals Limited (TCL) ka Q3 FY26 ka consolidated revenue 1% kam hokar ₹3,550 Crore pe aa gaya. Iska main reason hai global soda ash market, jahan supply bahut badh gayi hai aur prices neeche aa gaye hain. Is wajah se consolidated EBITDA 20% gir kar ₹345 Crore ho gaya. Isi liye, consolidated PAT (exceptional items ke alawa) ₹49 Crore profit se gir kar ab ₹(15) Crore loss mein chala gaya. Upar se, new labor code ki wajah se ₹54 Crore ka exceptional charge bhi laga.
December 31, 2025 tak, company ka net debt ₹5,596 Crore tha, jo market ki situation ko dikhata hai.
Standalone Business Ki Taakat
Par dil chota mat karo! Agar sirf standalone business ki baat karein toh woh ekdum mast chal raha hai. Revenue 3% badhkar ₹1,204 Crore ho gaya hai, primarily higher volumes ki wajah se. Cost control accha hone ki wajah se EBITDA 9% badh kar ₹228 Crore ho gaya hai. Aur standalone PAT (exceptional items ke alawa) toh 21% badh kar ₹87 Crore ho gaya.
Nine months (9MFY26) mein bhi standalone business ne kamaal kiya hai, revenue 11% badhkar ₹3,577 Crore aur EBITDA 26% badhkar ₹738 Crore ho gaya tha.
Future Ke Liye Badi Plans
Future ko dekhte hue, company kuch smart moves le rahi hai. Woh Novabay Pte. Limited ko acquire kar rahe hain, jo speciality chemicals business mein help karega. Aur iske saath hi, Tamil Nadu mein ek naya salt facility banane ke liye ₹515 Crore ka investment approve kiya gaya hai. Quarter mein Pearl Silica aur FOS L55 facilities bhi start ho gayi hain.
Risks Aur Outlook
Management ka focus abhi margins ko protect karne, cash bachane aur balance sheet ko strong banane pe hai. Global soda ash market ka volatile rehna ek bada risk hai. Lekin, speciality chemicals aur consumer products mein jo investment ho raha hai, woh future mein company ko zyada stable aur cyclicality se door le jaane mein madad karega.
