DCM Shriram Ltd. delivered a resilient performance in the third quarter of FY26, supported by volume-led growth in its Chemicals business and steady momentum across Sugar & Ethanol, Fenesta Building Systems and Agri inputs, despite a challenging global macroeconomic environment.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the diversified conglomerate reported net revenues of Rs 3,811 crore, marking a 13% year-on-year increase. PBDIT stood at Rs 560 crore, up 4% from the corresponding period last year, while profit after tax (PAT) came in at Rs 213 crore. PAT declined 19% year-on-year due to a one-time exceptional charge of Rs 55 crore related to new labour codes. The company also declared a dividend of Rs 56.14 crore during the quarter.
The Chemicals segment emerged as a key growth driver, posting a 30% rise in revenues, aided by higher volumes and contributions from recently commissioned and acquired assets, including Epichlorohydrin (ECH), Hydrogen Peroxide and Aluminium Chloride. Caustic soda volumes increased by 6%, while the commissioning of the ECH plant and the acquisition of an epoxy facility strengthened downstream integration.
The Sugar & Ethanol business benefited from improved sugar prices and higher sales volumes. The segment also received a positive impact from a Rs 36 crore reversal related to retrospective duty on ethanol exports. However, rising State Advised Prices (SAP) for cane continue to exert cost pressure on the industry.
Shriram Farm Solutions recorded resilient growth, driven by strong demand for crop protection products and record-high quarterly sales of research wheat seeds, reinforcing its leadership position. Fenesta Building Systems also posted robust growth, backed by expanded product offerings and deeper customer engagement.
With a strong balance sheet and multiple expansion projects under implementation, including renewable energy and chemicals capacity additions, DCM Shriram remains focused on building integrated, future-ready platforms aligned with long-term growth opportunities.
