Tata Chemicals Managing Director and CEO R Mukundan said, "With the re-opening of businesses in all markets, the overall demand environment continues to be positive."
He added that while this positive demand momentum is expected to continue, the input supply-side environment especially energy costs remains high compared to historical levels, and supply chain challenges continue to be seen in the market.
The company continues with its long-term focus on excellence by leveraging digitalisation and sustainability, said Mukundan.
"In addition to the operational excellence, we continue to focus on executing the growth capex (capital expenditure) in India," he added.
