Key Q&A Highlights:

  • Latin America was the geography contributing most to revenue decline
  • Channel inventory levels are low across both segments
  • Amalgamation process is ongoing with NCLT applications filed
  • Finance cost reduction due to debt repayment and shift to INR-denominated debt
  • Sulfur prices have increased 8-10 times from normal levels, making titanium dioxide operations unviable
