The disruption has impacted the availability of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is a critical input for the production of ammonia.

Accordingly, the company is currently facing challenges in procuring ammonia, a key raw material used in the manufacture of methylamines, ethylamines, and their derivatives.

Sun Pharma: Sun Pharmaceutical announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for ILUMYA for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis. The FDA regulatory action date for this sBLA is expected by October 29, 2026.

Tata Motors CV: The company on Monday said it would increase the prices of its commercial vehicle range by up to 1.5% from April 1.

The price increase is being undertaken to partially offset the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs, the company said in a regulatory filing.

The increase will vary, depending on the model and variant, it added.

Part of the $180 billion Tata Group, Tata Motors is India's largest manufacturer of utility vehicles, pick-ups, trucks, and buses.

Crude oil-sensitive stocks: OMCs, upstream, paints, tyres, and aviation stocks are expected to remain in focus as crude oil prices jumped over 2% on Tuesday as uncertainty lingered over a US-led coalition to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

International benchmark Brent crude gained 2.45% to $102.57 per barrel, while the U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose 2.51% to $95.85 per barrel in the early morning trade.

Sugar stocks: Balrampur Chini, Dhampur Sugar Mills, EID Parry, among others, will be in focus as the food ministry has approved an additional export quota of 87,587 tonnes of sugar for the 2025-26 marketing year (October-September), following requests from sugar mills, the ministry said in a circular on Monday.

The government had earlier permitted exports of 1.5 million tonnes for the season and in February allocated an extra 500,000 tonnes to willing mills on a non-swappable basis.

Mills had until February to apply for portions of the additional quota. Of the 500,000 tonnes, only 87,587 tonnes were requested and approved, with the remainder lapsing, the ministry stated.

Mills must export the allocated sugar by June 30, 2026. Those exporting at least 70% of their quota by that date will be allowed to ship the balance by September 30, 2026. Failure to meet the 70% threshold will result in the unutilised quantity lapsing, with potential reallocation to higher-performing or willing mills.

GMDC-NMDC: Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation Ltd (GMDC), a Government of Gujarat enterprise, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NMDC Limited, a Government of India Navratna PSU, to explore opportunities for collaboration in the Rare Earth Elements (REE) sector.
