DCM Nouvelle Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The filing, dated August 31, 2026, details the company's environmental performance, including a significant reduction in water consumption and an increase in renewable energy usage.

The company voluntarily adopted essential BRSR indicators for FY26, as recommended by its Risk Management Committee, despite not falling within the top 1,000 listed entities by market capitalisation.

Operational and Environmental Metrics

DCM Nouvelle reported a total revenue from operations of ₹10,151.7 crore in FY26. The company operates a single manufacturing plant in Hisar, Haryana, with an installed capacity of 1,57,872 spindles.

What the Numbers Show

Water consumption fell 46% in FY26 compared to FY25, dropping from 3.78 Lacs kilo-Litres to 2.02 Lacs kilo-Litres. This sharp decline occurred alongside a stable total energy consumption of approximately 396,647 Joules, suggesting improved operational efficiency in resource usage rather than a reduction in production volume. The share of renewable energy in total power consumed rose to 27% in FY26, up from 23% in the previous year.

Governance and Stakeholder Engagement

The company recorded no fatalities or high-consequence work-related injuries during FY26. It received 291 grievances from employees and workers, all of which were resolved by year-end. Customer complaints totalled 177, with zero pending at the close of the financial year.

DCM Nouvelle maintains affiliations with six trade associations, including the Confederation of India Textiles Industry (CITI) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The company reported no instances of child labour, forced labour, or sexual harassment complaints under the POSH Act.
