To mark the occasion, employees at the Mithapur site came together, with senior leadership inaugurating a commemorative plaque and unveiling the miniature of one-millionth tonne bag of soda ash. The event served as a lasting reminder of the team’s commitment to operational excellence.

Rino Raj, Vice President and Site Head – Mithapur, Tata Chemicals Limited, said, "Reaching the 1 million tonne milestone is a direct outcome of the operational rigour and commitment demonstrated by our teams on the ground. From plant efficiency to reliability and safety, every function has contributed to ensuring consistent performance.
