History of TATA chemicals Ltd

The TATA chemicals mithapur , The company that care is one of its kinds in the world and the companys fertilizer division in babrala is among the best industrial units in India thats a long way to come from modest beginnings and it is testimony to the vision and ability of the pioneers who get tata chemical up and running.

Tata chemical was born in 1939, the year world war-2 the two consignments were sunk of sea and ordered from Sweden, a natural country, but the war almost claimed that too. The early years of Tata chemical were disastrous an international. Expert told to J.R.D. Tata the

owner of the industry. You are in the wrong place doing the wrong job the Formula that helped Tata chem. Turn the corner of the production was Well-guarded sere of about six companies in the world, but Tata chemical, cracked the Code, it then began negotiating with a German firm to raise its production capacity From 80 to 200 tones of soda ash per day when a 31 year old chemical engineer called Darbari Seth, fresh from a stint in America, told managing board that India did not Need foreign help we can do it, He said, and what is more, we said, and what is more we should aim not at 200 tones but 400 tones of the 10 members on the board, Only one person agreed with him J.R.D.

Mithapur, the city of salt, is the mother Indias heavy chemical industry, in the late 1920, kapil ram vakil, a chemical engineer established the okhamandal salt works later he setup A soda ash plant of the site company also has a slogan for the Tata salt Hum Des ka Namak Khate hai, Hum des Ka Namak Banate hai.

After the survey of the western coast, kapil ram vakil, a chemical engineer, decide on a point seven miles from okha, the western most tip of India where the Arabian Sea Meets the Rann of Kutch but he could not bear

the financial burden of running the plant for long. And approached the Tata then the maharaja of Baroda sayaji roa in whose territory mithapur fall, also where to the Tata suggesting that they might like to assist with national project.

The company is growing to its destination fifty years back, mithapur was a desolate Place providing little to the material tribe that inhabited its neighborhood with the induction of industry these sturdy people have found a means of livelihood in December 1963, when prices of heavy chemical were decontrolled the company Reduced its prices much to the annoyance of its competitors mithapur expanded its Capacity to 1000 tones of soda ash per day and today produce 2400 tones later when There was a surplus of soda ash in the market 2000 more customer registered with the Company it also generates 1000 (tones per day) of vacuum evaporated salt and 33 other product.

Tata chemical spread its writing in 1994 with commissioner of its fertilizer division at Babrala in utter Pradesh. Today it has an installed capacity of 2250 tpd of urea and 1350 tpd of a ammonia. The company

arranged for suitable treated seawater to replace fresh water in plant operation and it put in place a thoughtful recycling.

Arrangement and other innovative methods of solving on water the company has established seawater plant named equalization plant consumption was reduced from 22 lakh gallons per day.

TCLS slogan is leadership with trust which is not merely a slogan but the Originality of the company our heritage of returning on society about evokes that is trust among customer, employee, share holder and community.

PRODUCTS CHEMICALS One of India's leading manufacturers of inorganic chemicals, TCL's products and production processes are benchmarked with the best of global touchstones and meet the most rigorous international specifications The company's state-of-the-art manufacturing systems are backed by a highly efficient and committed marketing team. The chemicals strategic business unit (SBU) of Tata Chemicals, oversees both forward and backward integration across a wide spectrum of products and business segments

The Chemicals SBU comprises

Soda ash

This multipurpose chemical is used in a variety of industries, most prominently in the manufacture of glass, where it reduces the melting temperature of the sand used in glass formation and helps in the 'workability', or shaping, of glass articles. Soda ash is also a major ingredient in the making of soaps and detergents. Here it is employed as a builder, or filler, to give a smoother surface in formulations of soaps, detergents and other cleaning compounds. This resourceful alkali, the least expensive of soluble alkalis, is widely used in the production of other chemicals. Soda ash is used in mineral processing

in mining, pulp and paper manufacture, the making of sodium compounds, water treatment, metal refining, textile processing, cleaning preparations, petroleum and metallurgical refining, iron and steel, aluminum, and drugs.

Cement Cement is a major success story for TCL, and a fine example of how the company's philosophy of 'avoid, reduce and recycle' operates.

The cement plant at Mithapur was set up solely to consume the solid waste generated during the manufacture of soda ash. The plant has an installed capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day and it manufactures three varieties of cement: Ordinary Portland Cement (grades 43 and 53) and Pozzolana Portland Cement (under the Shudh Cement brand name). Caustic soda

Due to its adoption of energy-efficient, membrane-cell technology and the captive availability of salt and of power, TCL has been able to deliver low-cost caustic soda to the market. As a versatile alkali, caustic soda is used in a variety of industries, the major ones being rayon, cellophane, soap, pulp and paper. Apart from caustic soda, TCL also produces hydrochloric acid and liquid chlorine. Bromine TCL manufactures several variants of bromine and bromine-based compounds, such as liquid bromine technical, potassium bromide PQ, sodium bromide PQ, methyl bromide, ethyl bromide and hydrobromic acid. FOOD ADDITIVES Tata Chemicals' food additives strategic business unit has two of the company's premium product groups under its wing: branded salt and sodium bicarbonate. Widening the product range and increasing market share is the two-pronged thrust in this sphere

Salt

TCL makes 3,50,000 tonnes of vacuum-evaporated iodised salt annually at its Mithapur complex, the largest and most integrated chemicals facility in India. The company manufactures four varieties of salt: iodised salt, crystalline salt, vacuum salt and pure salt. Tata Salt, the outstanding offering in TCL's food-additives basket, is a household name with top-of-the-mind brand recall and a 41-per cent share of the Indian branded iodised salt market, way ahead of the nearest competitor. It has consistently proved its mettle by being rated in the top 10

most trusted brands in the survey conducted by The Economic Times , India's largest financial newspaper. Tata Salt was named the 'No.1 Food Brand' in 2003. Crystalline salt Samunder Crystal Salt is a refined, iodised, clean, white crystal salt. It offers customers a purer and cleaner alternative to the loose, unbranded crystalline salt widely available in Indian markets.

Sodium bicarbonate TCL's sodium bicarbonate plant has a capacity of 50,000 tonnes per annum. The company produces three varieties of sodium bicarbonate sodium bicarbonate technical, sodium bicarbonate refined and sodium bicarbonate granular - all of which meet stringent quality standards. The company markets its sodium bicarbonate products in India, the Middle East, Africa and Bangladesh. Cooking soda

Tata Chemicals has launched a branded cooking soda sold in small, single-use sachets under the brand name Tata Samunder Cooking Soda. Cooking soda is an ingredient already familiar to Indian consumers but so far, it has only been available in an unbranded form and is purchased either loose or in unmarked plastic pouches. Tata Samunder refined food grade soda bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) is pure and unadulterated, and a value-formoney alternative to the unbranded products available in the market.

Production planning & control Production Planning and control are 2 important aspect of production. Production planning is prerequisite of production control. Production control cannot be imaged without production planning.

And on the basic of production planning, department and strict control on the production activity and continuously evaluated the performance through tar as it is totally computerized plant.

PRODUCTION PLANNING INVOLVES FOLLOWING STEPS

Development and introduction of new product Modification of existing lines Changing needs and preference

 Discontinuous of margined unprofitable or obsolete product
