Tata Chemicals (TCL), one of the world's largest manufacturers of soda ash, has temporarily shut down its fertiliser plant at Babrala in Uttar Pradesh due to regular maintenance work. The company has shut down its plant from March 22, 2016 and will approximately last for 30 days. This will not have material financial impact on the company.
TCL is a part of over $100 billion Tata group, currently the second-largest producer of soda ash in the world with manufacturing facilities in India, UK, Kenya and USA. It is India’s leading crop nutrients player with its own manufacturing of urea and phosphatic fertilizers (namely, Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP), Nitrogen Potash and Phosphorus (NPK) and single Super Phosphate (SSP) and a leading player in crop protection business through its subsidiary Rallis India.
