New Delhi : DCM Shriram Ltd today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, reporting resilient performance despite a challenging global operating environment marked by geopolitical uncertainties, supply chain disruptions and an erratic start to the southwest monsoon.
For Q1 FY27, the Company reported Net Revenue (Net of excise duty) of ₹3,564 crore, up 9% year-on-year, while PBDIT increased 12% to ₹364 crore. Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at ₹693 crore, compared to ₹114 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. PAT includes positive tax adjustment of Rs 474.3 crores on account of favorable judgements from Income Tax authority relating to previous years and one-time exceptional items of Rs. 79.4 crores of profit on sale of land and stake sale for JV formation. Excluding these, the effective normal PAT for the quarter was ₹147 crore.
The increase in revenues was contributed by chemicals (up by 33% YoY) and Fenesta Building Systems (up by 22% YoY). The increase in PBDIT was contributed by the Chemicals & Vinyl segment (up by 30%).
Commenting on the performance for the quarter ending June 2026, in a joint statement, Mr. Ajay Shriram, Chairman & Senior Managing Director and Mr. Vikram Shriram, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, said:
“The first quarter of FY27 tested the global economy with complex mix of geopolitical uncertainties. The ongoing West Asia crisis has disrupted supply chains and energy markets, leading to renewed inflationary pressures and cementing expectations of a prolonged higher interest rate environment. Domestically, we have also faced a highly erratic start to the southwest monsoon, which has placed temporary pressure on rural consumption. However, the broader Indian industrial narrative remains robust, supported by strong domestic fundamentals.
The Chemicals business delivered a resilient performance despite a challenging global environment. Domestic caustic soda demand remained healthy, while advanced materials operations continued to contribute with steadily improving utilization rates. Our downstream integration initiatives remain on track, with Aluminum Chloride and Calcium Chloride projects under pre-commissioning trials, further strengthening the portfolio and driving long-term value creation.
The Sugar and Ethanol businesses are stable with lower domestic sugar inventories. Global sugar deficit has led to increase in global prices. However, the long-term viability of the sector, particularly the ethanol blending ecosystem, still requires decisive and sustained government policy interventions regarding feedstock pricing and alternate usage mandates.
Our consumer facing businesses continued to strengthen their market position during the quarter. Fenesta Building Systems delivered healthy volume driven growth while Shriram Farm Solutions effectively managed inventory and supply chain logistics to successfully navigate a challenging monsoon-led environment.
With our major capex cycles transitioning into the commissioning phase, we are focused on capacity ramp-up, deep value-chain integration, and disciplined capital allocation. Our balance sheet remains strong, giving us resilience from external volatility and enabling us to pursue growth. Sustainability remains embedded in our growth strategy; by focusing on responsible resource utilization and driving energy efficiencies across our manufacturing footprint.”
