DCM Shriram Limited has released the transcript of its Investors' Earnings Call held on July 30, 2026, discussing the Unaudited Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The call featured insights from Chairman and Senior Managing Director Mr. Ajay Shriram, Joint Managing Director Mr. Ajit Shriram, Deputy Managing Director Mr. Aditya Shriram, and Group CFO Mr. Amit Agarwal.
Mr. Ajay Shriram provided an overview of the global and domestic economic landscape, noting inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, and tempered global growth due to geopolitical events and El Niño-induced rainfall deficits. He highlighted the company's resilience through value chain integration, cost discipline, and digital transformation. A key development mentioned was the signing of an agreement with Serentica Renewables to source 58 megawatts of peak hybrid renewable energy for the Bharuch chemicals complex, expected to increase total renewable energy capacity to 176 megawatts upon commissioning.
The Chemicals business reported a robust 33% year-on-year revenue growth, with caustic soda volumes steady and advanced materials contributing significantly. PBDIT rose 24% to ₹274 crore. The Vinyl segment saw revenue moderate by 10% due to a 25% year-on-year drop in PVC volumes, though PBDIT improved 88% to ₹43 crore. The Sugar and Ethanol segment revenues declined 2% year-on-year, with PBDIT at ₹22 crore compared to negative ₹7 crore in the previous year.

The Fertilizer business revenues rose 11% year-on-year, but PBDIT stood at ₹23 crore versus ₹38 crore last year, impacted by a one-time retention price gain in the prior year. Bioseed segment revenue declined 26% year-on-year, with PBDIT turning negative at ₹9 crore from a positive ₹42 crore, due to delayed rainfall and lower margins.
Overall, the company's PAT was ₹693 crore, including one-time items. Excluding these, PAT was ₹147 crore, a 28% increase. Net debt stood at ₹1,649 crore as of June 30, 2026.
