Kenya High Court Rules No Jurisdiction in Tata Chemicals Magadi Dispute, Shares Rise
Tata Chemicals shares rose nearly 10% after Kenya's High Court ruled it has no jurisdiction over a dispute involving its subsidiary, Tata Chemicals Magadi Ltd (TCML), a major soda-ash producer. This ruling follows Kenyan President William Ruto's earlier order for the company to exit the Magadi operation. Tata Chemicals stated TCML is compliant with regulations and is reviewing the court order to determine next steps. A government-led committee is also assessing mining operations for sustainable development.
