Ajay Shriram, chairman & senior managing director, and Vikram Shriram, vice chairman & managing director, said, 'Global and domestic caustic prices were better supported in the current financial year although they were volatile. Domestic demand for Caustic soda has improved, however Chlorine was under pressure, hence the ECU prices are still suboptimal. 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. 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. Shriram Farm Solutions continues to focus on providing research driven and differentiated products to farmers and leveraging digital platforms to expand farmer engagement.

Commenting on the performance in a joint statement, Ajay Shriram, chairman there are concerns about inflation and structural challenges at the global and domestic levels. The caustic soda segment continues to function at reasonable operating levels on account of increased demand from key end-user industries. The prices have been volatile and are susceptible to sudden changes on account of supply chain imbalances. Excess capacities in India are impacting ECUs. The reduction in energy costs has provided support to overall cost structure. Volumes on account of H2O2, aluminum Chloride and flexi flaker plant at Bharuch have further added to the overall profitability of the Chemicals complex. The chlorine downstream projects announced in the last quarter will further strengthen the utilization levels and profitability of the chemical complex. Both global and Indian sugar production estimates have been revised downward. The sugar business is facing margin pressures as prices are yet not commensurate with the increase in cost of production in the last season. The industry is pushing for allowing exports and a higher MSP for sugar. Ethanol business outlook remains positive. Loni capacity expansion came online in the current quarter, and the CBG project will get commissioned in the next quarter. The Fenesta business is focusing on enhancing growth in the core segment as well as developing new revenue platforms, hardware being one of them. Shriram Farm Solutions business continues to drive growth with its science-based products. Its new product launches are being well appreciated by the market. Considering the strength of our balance sheet, we are proactively seeking growth opportunities in adjacencies that will enable us to increase our scale, improve integration, and enhance cost efficiencies.'
