Consumer salt
Tata Chemicals is the market leader in packaged salts in India with more than half the total market
consuming Tata brands. The reason: Tata Salt and its fellow brands go far beyond taste to target
health initiatives such as iodine deficiency, iron deficiency and low sodium requirements.
Tata Salt has won accolades as India's most trusted food brand for several years. Launched in April
2012, Tata Salt Plus is India's first national brand of packaged salt with iodine plus iron. It is aimed
at addressing and eradicating the prevalence of iron deficiency through one of the most widely
consumed food essentials salt.
The company manufactures two varieties of salt: Iodised salt and Vacuum salt.
Iodised salt
The company manufactures the following brands under the edible iodized salt category
Tata Salt - Desh ka namak

Consumed by nearly 40 million households each month, Tata Salt is a super-refined, vacuumevaporated iodised salt produced by Tata Chemicals at Mithapur, on the western coast of Gujarat,
in one of the most integrated inorganic chemical complexes in India.
It is manufactured through a technologically advanced production process by evaporating sea
brine in steam-heated vacuum evaporators, is almost completely free from extraneous matter and

reaches consumers in the purest possible form. Tata Salt has a fine crystalline structure and
dissolves very quickly.
Due to its purity and reliable quality, the product is widely used by hotels and restaurants,
housewives, and by manufacturers of packaged snacks, colas and namkeens (savoury snacks).
The salt enhances and accentuates the flavour of vegetables and meat to add taste. Additionally,
as a carrier of the essential nutrient iodine, the product supports India's public health campaign
against iodine-deficiency disorders.
Tata Salt is available for consumers in 4 Convenient Pack Sizes as follows:

According to Nielsen Retail Audit, March 2011, each month more than 50,000 metric tons of
Tata Salt is sold through over 12 lakh retail outlets reaching 50 million households across the
country. The company also exports Tata Salt to Middle East. The product has been introduced
in Dubai and will move on to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah to cover the United Arab Emirates. The
brand has managed to achieve these robust figures by consistently delivering health-aware
products. The key to the brand's success lies in the superior product quality of Tata Salt.
Tata Salt is the market leader, commanding a share of over 62 per cent of the national branded
salt category. It has also consistently been named one of India's most trusted food brands since
2003 by The Economic Times Brand Equity 'Most Trusted Brands' survey conducted by AC
Nielsen each year. While competitors have come and gone, innovative brand building over the
years has helped build and maintain the trust consumers have placed in Tata Salt. The initial
'Namak ho Tata ka Tata Namak' and path breaking 'Desh ka Namak' and most recent
'Gulmil ke' ad campaigns creatively tapped into this emotional connect, reinforcing Tata Salt's
leadership position in the marketplace as well as in the consumer's mind.
As the brand continues to grow, an important aspect is identifying future market needs and
innovatively addressing them. In this effort Tata Salt has launched a bouquet of products

TATA started with social awareness programs increasing education levels among people
regarding disadvantages of impure water. TATA SWACH used the help of NGOs to spread the
awareness levels and schools in rural areas, thus, positioning itself as a form of need creator.
Through competitions in rural schools like essay competitions, role plays; TATA took the help of
NGO in first exposing the rural people to the need for safe drinking water. In the beginning they
relied less on electronic media and more support voluntary groups.
Soda ash
Tata Chemicals is the world's second largest producer of soda ash and the most geographicallydiversified soda ash company. It has manufacturing facilities in India, the UK, the US and Kenya
and an efficient supply chain that can service customers across the globe.
The company has a global capacity of around 5.5 million tonnes of soda ash per annum, of
which 60 per cent is from natural deposits at Wyoming, USA and Lake Magadi, Kenya. Besides,
the company owns 35 per cent of the global low-cost and sustainable natural soda ash capacity.
The soda ash product line consists of four categories:

Soda ash light

Soda ash dense
Soda ash medium dense
Soda ash granular

Tata Cement:
TCL's cement business grew out of a sustainability and environment activity; the cement plant
at Mithapur was set up to consume solid waste generated during the manufacture of soda ash.
The area around Mithapuris rich in limestone. Given the region's proximity to the sea, salt is
also found here in abundance. Lime and salt are the main ingredients in the production of soda
ash. The manufacturing process of soda ash leaves behind a large quantity of unutilised
limestone and calcium products in the slurry. In order to utilise the by-products and unutilised
limestone, TCL put up a modern cement plant at Mithapur.
The cement plant has an installed capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day and manufactures two
varieties of cement under the brand name Tata Shudh:

Ordinary Portland cement (grade 53)

Masonry cement

Shudh cement has already acquired a 4 per cent share in the cement market in Gujarat despite
tough competition from its better-established competitors. It has been recognised as a superior
product, ideal for quality construction. Shudh cement far exceeds the quality norms and
8|Page

specifications prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards.

Tata Chemicals' cement products are made in a modern plant with state-of-the-art technology,
which includes quality control at every stage of the production process with an online x-ray
analyzer. This ensures consistently high quality in the manufacturing process.
Cement varieties from TCL deliver a quality advantage which customers can depend and build
on. Tata Shudh is preferred by customers because of its superior and consistent quality, and
availability through a well-knit distribution network across the state of Gujarat. The company is
dedicated to serve its customers by supplying high quality cement as per their specific needs.

Fertilizers
Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are key agro-nutrients for crops. Tata Chemicals is
present in all three crop nutrition groups through its fertilizer product base that spans:

Urea (a nitrogenous fertilizer)

Di-ammonium phosphate (contains both nitrogen and phosphorus)
Nitrogen phosphorous potassium complexes (contains all three nutrients)
Single super phosphates (phosphorus based).
Tata Chemicals is the market leader in the urea and phosphatic fertilizer segments.
Additionally, the company imports and sells muriate of potash (MOP) and di-ammonium
phosphate and supplies organic materials and other specialty fertilizers such as calcium
nitrate and zinc sulphate.
Urea
The nature of the soil in many Indian regions is such that nitrogenous fertilizers are an
important input for most crops. Urea is an important nitrogenous fertilizer and Tata
Chemicals is a major manufacturer of the product in India.
The company makes urea at its fertilizer complex in Babrala in Uttar Pradesh, a state in
north India. The complex has an installed capacity of 864,000 tons per year, which
constitutes nearly 12 per cent of the total urea produced by India's private sector.
The Babrala facility, among the best of its kind in India and comparable to the best in
the world, has set new standards in technology, energy conservation, productivity and
safety. It is the only fertilizer plant in the country to use dual feedstock: natural gas or
naphtha, or a combination of both.

13 | P a g e

Tata Chemicals has an established presence in the north Indian states of Uttar Pradesh,
Punjab, Haryana, Bihar and Uttaranchal, which account for 48 per cent of the total
domestic demand for urea. These states account for over 85 per cent of the company's
urea sales.
Phosphatic fertilizers
Tata Chemicals manufactures several phosphatic fertilizers, many of which are leading
brands in the Indian market. The company makes and sells sodium tripolyphosphate, diammonium phosphate, NPK complexes and single super phosphate fertilizers at its
Haldia complex in West Bengal in eastern India.
TCL's phosphatic fertilizers, sold under the brand name 'Paras', lead the market in West
Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand. The Haldia facility now has production volumes exceeding
1.2 million tonnes per annum.

Customised fertilizers
Tata Chemicals is a pioneer in the field of crop- and region-specific customized fertilizers that
provide balanced crop nutrition to the soil, boost the productivity of crops and improve the
overall quality of the yield.
Sold under the brand name Paras Farmoola, these fertilizers contain macro and micro nutrients
required by selected crops in specific regions. They have been developed on the basis of soil,
crop and water sample analyses.
Paras Farmoola fertilizers have been rigorously tested through more than 300 research
experiments conducted on the field and at 12 Krishi Vigyaan Kendras. Field trials conducted on
over 20,000 samples of crops such as paddy, wheat, potato, maize and sugarcane from 25
districts in western Uttar Pradesh, a north Indian state, report a significant increase in yield
over traditional fertilizers.
The fertilizers are produced at the company's state-of-the-art, 1,30,000MT capacity facility at
Babrala, Uttar Pradesh.
Paras Farmoola applications promote sustainable agriculture by maintaining soil health and
providing the best nutritional package for better plant growth and premium quality output. The
fertilizers help correct the nutrient imbalance in the soil caused by prolonged inadequate and
indiscriminate use of fertilizers, thus contributing to better crop productivity.
Key benefits

Allied chemicals
Caustic soda
TCL is able to deliver low-cost caustic soda to the market due to its adoption of energy-efficient,
membrane-cell technology and the captive availability of salt and of power at the Mithapur
facility. As a versatile alkali, caustic soda is used in a variety of industries, the major ones being
rayon, cellophane, soap, pulp and paper.
Chlorine based products
TCL produces hydrochloric acid and liquid chlorine at its Mithapur facility.
Tata Chemicals Europe makes and sells calcium chloride in its UK facilities.
Bromine based products
TCL manufactures several variants of bromine and bromine-based compounds, such as liquid
bromine technical, hydro bromic acid and sodium bromide (photographic grade).
Bromine is used primarily in the manufacture of organic and inorganic bromides. It is also used
as a crucial reagent in preparing several organic compounds requiring bromination. Other
variants are used in the preparation of photographic emulsions, for processing photographic
films and paper, in lithography, as an analytical reagent, as a soil fumigant , and in the making
of flame retardants, drilling fluids, water treatment, dyes, and brominated pesticides.
Gypsum
Gypsum, formed in crystalline lumps or powder form, is yet another product from the Tata
Chemicals stable.
Gypsum is used as an ingredient for Portland cement, for soil treatment, and to stabilize volatile
compounds and dissolve nitrogenous ones. It also finds use as inert filler in paints, paper,
pharmaceuticals, insecticide dusts, etc.
Phosphoric and sulphuric acids
TCL's Haldia plant produces industrial grade phosphoric and sulphuric acids; these are inputs to
the manufacturing of phosphatic fertilizers at the plant, and are also a part of TCL's product
portfolio.
Uses: Phosphoric acid is a key input to the manufacture of phosphatic fertilizers. Sulphuric
acid's uses include ore processing, fertilizer manufacturing, and oil refining, waste water
processing and chemical synthesis. The major use of sulphuric acid globally is in the wet process
for manufacture of phosphoric acid.

15 | P a g e

Sodium tripolyphosphate
Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), a key product in Tata Chemicals product portfolio, is made in
two technical grades NTR and HTR.
STPP is made at Tata Chemicals Haldia complex at West Bengal in eastern India. The product
competes favorably with the only other product available in the segment zeolite in terms
of cost as well as performance as it is a more effective binder and needs to be used in smaller
volumes as compared to zeolite. STPP is used as a builder in detergents and cleansing agents,
and as agent in the manufacturing process for textile processing, etc.

Conclusion:
Tata Chemicals consumer products and agri-business divisions may be showing the greatest
signs of invigoration, but the fact remains that a good half of the companys revenues come
from that old warhorse, soda ash, a vital input for several industries, among them detergents,
glass, mining and construction.
Rebranding, realignment, consolidation, these management terms dont fully capture what Tata
Chemicals is actually doing: making sure that the vintage chemicals business is in a sustainably
better shape to deal with the future.
