Commenting on the results, R.

During the year, salt production & sales were at the highest level.
The European soda ash market remained under pressure due to muted demand and margin pressure leading to one-time non-cash charge of ₹ 963 Cr in UK. The Company’s overall sales volume grew sequentially from the previous quarter, despite adverse price movement on account of market factors.
We continue to focus on customer engagement and sustainable performance, whilst maintaining a prudent balance sheet.
Global demand is stable; however, market remains cautious due to ongoing geopolitical instabilities, pressure from Chinese real estate market, high interest rates and situation of oversupply.
We expect sustainability trend will drive the demand for newer applications like solar glass and lithium which will fuel growth.
Our focus is on timely execution of expansion projects and efficient cost management. We continue to work with our customers and other stakeholders on our sustainability and digitisation efforts.”
