The inorganic chemicals segment continued to perform well with a 38% increase in revenue mostly due to a positive pricing scenario and strong domestic demand, especially in the glass segments. We received the regulatory approval to enhance our production capacity from 11L MT to 12L MT, which will deliver operational and strategic benefits to the business. Soda Ash is an important raw material for various industries and enhancing production capacities in India will help the industry contribute towards India’s growth story and create an “Atmnirbhar Bharat". The textiles business did face some headwinds due to price and demand corrections.
