Kenya's President orders Tata Chemicals to end operations in the country
Kenya's President has ordered Tata Chemicals to stop operations in the country, saying the Indian company's presence hasn't benefitted Kenya. He plans to bring two new companies to take over, including a big glass and a chemical maker. This follows an earlier suspension at the Magadi soda factory. For Indian firms abroad, it shows political winds can shift quickly. Keep watching official announcements and assess exposure.
