However, consolidated EBITDA dipped 14% to ₹555 Cr and PAT was ₹60 Cr, primarily due to lower overseas realizations from US exports.

Standalone financials showed stronger performance, with revenue at ₹1,281 Cr, EBITDA at ₹364 Cr, and PAT at ₹343 Cr.

Expansion plans include new salt capacity (82.5 KTPA IVSD in Mithapur, 210 KTPA IVSD in Valinokkam), a 50 KTPA silica plant in Cuddalore, and a 40 KTPA bicarbonate plant in Singapore.

Net Debt reduced to ₹5,692 Cr from ₹5,961 Cr, thanks to asset monetization.

On the outlook, bicarbonate feed/food demand is stable, while global soda ash demand is expected to be flat short-term due to macroeconomic conditions and excess capacity.

Despite current cost pressures, a positive medium-to-long-term outlook for soda ash is supported by rising demand from solar PV and EVs.
