R S Jalan, Managing Director, GHCL said: “We are glad to report a resilient Q2 performance, with a clear focus on operating excellence. Realizations stayed tempered during the quarter despite some increase in net imports of Soda Ash. Going forward, globally, the pricing may remain range-bound as industry challenges have not yet fully resolved and potential risks persist due to the ongoing geopolitical situations. Domestic prospects in Soda Ash look positive due to steps taken by GoI to encourage production of solar glass, including the 10% import duty levied on imports. Our performance going forward will be supported by planned expansion initiatives around Vacuum Salt and Bromine, which will start contributing from next year onwards. Overall, we remain focused on driving a highly efficient business that prioritizes profitable growth in a constrained environment and are committed to maximizing shareholder value through strategic decision-making and effective execution.” Result PDF
