Indian-owned soda ash producer Tata Chemicals Magadi (TCML) has announced plans to sack 200 staff, making it the latest firm from the emerging Asian giant to encounter headwinds in its Kenya operations.

The company, which was owned by a British company until 2006 when it was taken over by Indian conglomerate Tata, says the retrenchment will result from the closure of one of its manufacturing plants.
