GHCL announces Q1 FY24 Results.
GHCL, India’s leading Chemical Company, today announced its financial results for Q1 FY24.
Commenting on the financial performance, Mr. R S Jalan, Managing Director, GHCL said “We began FY24 with a resilient performance despite challenging market conditions aggravated by higher-than-expected imports of Soda Ash from Russia, Turkey and US. Additionally, this quarter witnessed subdued demand from various domestic end user segments. However, we are optimistic about the long-term, especially due to an anticipated growth in demand from environment-related sectors such as solar glass, lithium carbonate, and sodium bicarbonate for flue gas treatment. As we continue our focus on growth through continuous improvement, customer delight, innovation and operational excellence, our strategic expansions and commitment to sustainable business practices will ensure value creation for our stakeholders going forward”.
