Tata Chemicals also announced a dividend of Rs 11 per equity share for FY25. The record date to determine the eligibility of the shareholders set to receive the payment is yet to be announced.

EBITDA declined to Rs 327 crore in Q4 from Rs 443 crore on a YoY basis. EBITDA margins too slipped to 9 per cent in Q4 from 13.8 per cent in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, signaling rising cost pressures and reduced realisations.

Additionally, the company’s board has approved a plan to raise up to Rs 200 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs). 

In the previous session, Tata Chemicals stock ended 1.25% higher at Rs 826.30 on BSE. Market cap of the firm rose to Rs 21,050 crore.
