Tata Chemicals Ltd has announced a Q3 net loss of ₹93 crore, a notable increase from the ₹53 crore loss reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Revenue saw a marginal year-on-year decline of 1.1%, settling at ₹3,550 crore from ₹3,590 crore, impacted by subdued market conditions.
