Download announcement < Back
28 Mar 2014
Tata Chemicals Ltd has informed BSE that:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;- Tata Chemicals Limited (the Company&apos; or TCL) has decided not to proceed with its proposed 25.1% equity participation in a Greenfield ammonia-urea fertiliser manufacturing project (GFC&quot;) in the Republic of Gabon, Africa. On April 11, 2011, the Company had announced its participation in the project in which Olam International Limited (Olam) currently holds 80% stake with the Government of Republic of Gabon (&quot;ROG) holding the remaining 20%.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The decision was made due to a change in TCLs investment focus away from overseas fertiliser manufacturing and Olam&apos;s intention to move to a minority and non-consolidated position in the project.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Since TCLs intention to invest in the project was announced in 2011, Olam and TCL have worked together closely to complete the project&apos;s Front End Engineering Design phase. TCL will maintain its relationship with GFC going forward by providing any technical support that may be requested by Olam or GFCs other equity partners.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A press release issued by TCL and Olam jointly in this regard is enclosed.
