Mumbai, Jul 18 (PTI) Rallis India, a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals, on Thursday reported a 23.80 per cent decline in profit after tax at Rs 48 crore during the quarter ending June 30, compared to the same period in the previous financial year.

We will further intensify our efforts to build capabilities in manufacturing, digitalisation and leverage Collaborations and Alliances," he added.
