"We have commissioned most of our major projects in Chemicals in the current year with reasonable capacity utilisation, leading to volume led growth and better cost structure. The chlorine downstream projects, once operational, will further enhance the utilization rates of Chlor-alkali and strengthen the Chemicals business. Sugar & Ethanol business is stable with increase in prices over last couple of months and consequently margins. The sugar stocks for SS 2025 in India are expected to be lower than last year on account of lower production which shall also support the prices. We have commissioned 12 TPD CBG Project in March 2025. There is a need for fundamental shift in Sugar policy framework, in order to make it remunerative for the farmers as well as manufacturers," said Mr. Ajay Shriram, Chairman & Senior Managing Director, and Mr. Vikram Shriram, Vice Chairman & Managing Director.

"Fenesta business is strategically prioritizing accelerated growth in its core segment, while also expanding into new revenue platforms such as Facade, Wooden doors and Hardware.

Leveraging our strong balance sheet, we are strategically expanding into adjacencies to drive scale, enhance operational integration, and maximize cost efficiencies, positioning ourselves for sustained competitive advantage," they further added.

DCM Shriram Share Price Target

"DCM Shriram is currently showing a sideways trend, moving within a tight range without strong directional cues. The stock is facing resistance near ₹1100 and finding support around ₹1020. The RSI is neutral, and price action suggests indecision. A breakout above ₹1100 on strong volume would be needed to trigger a fresh rally, while a drop below ₹1020 could lead to a short-term correction. Until then, the stock may continue to consolidate. Traders should wait for confirmation before taking fresh positions, while existing holders can maintain with a stop loss below ₹1000," commented Riyank Arora - Technical Analyst - Mehta Equities Limited.
