Tata Chemicals intimates about operations plan at its Haldia plant

During September - October 2016

Tata Chemicals announced that the Company is operating a Fertiliser plant at Haldia which, inter alia, manufactures DAP, SSP and complex NPK fertilisers wherein ammonia is used as one of the feedstock.

In this regard, the Company has on 11 April 2016 signed an MOU with Sanjana Cryogenics Storage (SCSL), its Ammonia Terminal Operator, for rerouting a portion of the ammonia pipeline that runs from the Haldia Dock to the Ammonia Storage tank. This has been done at the directive of Kolkata Port Trust for facilitating the set up a Multi-Modal Terminal Hub at Haldia by Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI). This pipeline re-routing activity is likely to cause a shutdown of operations by about 5 weeks in September-October, 2016 due to interruption of ammonia supply to the TCL-Haldia phosphatic fertilizer plant.

Further updates in this regard will be provided when the actual shutdown of the Haldia Plant for the above purpose is undertaken in September - October 2016.
