India's Tata Chemicals Ltd is preparing for a "big shutdown" at its Kenyan operations, a move the company assures will not disrupt the supply of its primary product, soda ash, despite a "slightly lower volume" from its East African unit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
The chemical firm confirmed that it holds "enough stocks to serve the local and international market in the second quarter" to mitigate any impact from the planned operational halt.
