The soda ash maker’s profit fell to Rs 194 crore in the October-December quarter from Rs 425 crore in the year-ago period, according to an exchange filing released on Monday.

EBITDA Fell 41.2% Year-On-Year
Tata Chemical’s EBITDA fell 41.2% year-on-year to ₹542 crore in the quarter under review, while margins contracted 14.5%. The filing said Tata Chemicals’ performance is lower than PY’s due to pricing pressure and lower volumes across sectors. Volumes are down by 80,000 metric tonnes, particularly in the US, due to plant closures and rail car shortages. This has also affected the quarterly results. The company said its gross debt as of December 31, 2023, stood at Rs 5,912 crore.
