DCM Shriram Limited reported a consolidated net profit after tax of ₹693.44 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a sharp rise from ₹113.82 crore in the corresponding quarter of FY25. The profit surge was largely non-operational, driven by a ₹474.30 crore tax benefit arising from a favourable Income Tax Appellate Tribunal judgement and gains from strategic asset sales. Consolidated revenue from operations stood at ₹3,784.67 crore, up from ₹3,455.18 crore in Q4FY25.
The Board of Directors, chaired by Chairman & Senior Managing Director Ajay S. Shriram, approved the unaudited financial results on July 28, 2026. Statutory Auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued a limited review report on the standalone and consolidated results. The filing was made pursuant to Regulations 30 and 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Key Financial Metrics
| Metric (₹ Crore) | Q4FY26 | Q4FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | 3,784.67 | 3,455.18 | +9.5% |
| EBITDA | 364.18 | 325.73 | +11.8% |
| Profit Before Tax | 274.15 | 170.16 | +61.1% |

Operational performance showed steady growth. EBITDA rose to ₹364.18 crore from ₹325.73 crore year-ago, reflecting improved margins across key segments. The net profit margin expanded significantly to 19.54% from 3.50% in Q4FY25, though this was heavily influenced by the one-time tax adjustments.
Material Disclosures and One-Time Items
The exceptional items for the quarter included a gain of ₹11.74 crore from the sale of a 50% equity stake in Shriram Polytech Limited to Teknor Apex B.V., and a gain of ₹67.68 crore from the sale of surplus land at Mokila village related to the Bioseed business. Shriram Polytech Limited ceased to be a subsidiary and became a joint venture effective April 17, 2026.
A major driver of the bottom-line improvement was the reversal of tax provisions. Following a favourable ITAT judgement on July 3, 2026, regarding Section 80-IA claims for FY2021-22, the company reversed current tax provisions of ₹98.05 crore and recognised a deferred tax asset related to MAT credit of ₹376.25 crore for FY2020-21 to FY2025-26. These were accounted for as tax adjustments related to earlier years.
Segment Performance
The Chemicals and Vinyl segment remained the largest revenue contributor at ₹1,391.84 crore, with segment profit rising to ₹242.63 crore from ₹184.69 crore. Fenesta Building Systems saw revenue grow to ₹303.08 crore from ₹248.40 crore. Conversely, the Sugar and Ethanol segment reported a loss of ₹9.29 crore, compared to a loss of ₹37.38 crore in the prior year quarter.
What the Numbers Show
While operational EBITDA growth of 11.8% indicates healthy underlying business momentum, the reported net profit figure is not reflective of recurring operational efficiency alone. The ₹474.30 crore tax benefit accounts for approximately 68% of the total net profit for the quarter. Investors should note that the core operational profit before tax grew by 61.1%, but the headline PAT is skewed by significant non-recurring accounting adjustments. The debt-equity ratio improved slightly to 0.20 times from 0.21 times, indicating a stable balance sheet.
