DCM Shriram Reports FY26 Results
DCM Shriram Ltd has reported its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. The company posted a consolidated profit after tax of ₹855.98 crore and total income of ₹14,460.24 crore for the full year.
FY26 Performance Highlights
The company achieved a 41.66% year-on-year increase in consolidated profit after tax, reaching ₹855.98 crore. Consolidated total income grew by 12.24% to ₹14,460.24 crore. Reflecting its financial performance, DCM Shriram declared a total dividend of ₹11.20 per share.
Quarterly Performance
For the fourth quarter of FY26, consolidated total income rose by 12.46% year-on-year to ₹3,419.59 crore. However, the quarterly profit after tax was affected by certain one-off items.
Subsidiary Impact
A key factor impacting the results was a reported loss of ₹48.03 crore from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hindusthan Speciality Chemicals Limited (HSCL), for FY26. This occurred despite a capital investment plan of ₹101 crore approved for HSCL in March 2024.
One-Time Adjustments
The quarterly performance was also influenced by an exceptional reversal of ₹31.62 crore related to the implementation of New Labour Codes. This adjustment is considered a non-recurring item.
