Motilal Oswal maintains neutral on Tata Chemicals, raises target to Rs 970 on stable India-UK ops and cautious global outlook
By News Desk Published on July 28, 2025, 08:56 IST Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOSL) has maintained a Neutral rating on Tata Chemicals, while raising the target price to ₹970 from ₹950. The revised target implies a modest upside from the current market price of ₹946.55. The brokerage highlighted that the company's India and UK operations are driving its overall operating performance. Tata Chemicals has guided for an annual maintenance capex of ₹1,000 crore in FY26 to support its ongoing operations. MOSL noted that the soda ash segment continues to face a soft demand-supply balance, compounded by tariff-related uncertainties in global trade. Overcapacity remains a key concern, especially with the presence of unviable global supply sources.
