As we approach the end of the year, it’s the festive and busy season. Festive, because Diwali has just gone

by, Christmas and New Year are round the corner.

Meanwhile, the second quarter results were declared and the company delivered a satisfactory financial performance.

Earnings of Sugar business improved as the margins turned positive vs. last year and the Chlor vinyl business had

stable earnings in Q2. Decline in interest costs also contributed to higher earnings during the quarter.

The Chlor-alkali capacity expansion and technology upgradation project at Bharuch has been completed. This is

indeed a milestone that makes us feel proud, because it was done in record time and within the allocated capital

budget. Our congratulations to the entire Chemicals Team. The Bharuch Plant is now based on the latest technology

which is 15-20% more energy efficient, and is part of the ongoing process to build a robust and stable business.

The Sugar industry is witnessing positive returns over the last few quarters led by improvement in sugar prices to

a reasonable level. The bagasse based cogeneration power capacity will be expanded from 94 MW to 108 MW by

Dec 2016. We are also setting up a 150 KLPD distillery to be commissioned by Dec 2017. This integration will provide

stability to the earnings of the Sugar business going forward.

The Bioseed and Farm Solutions Businesses have seen better volumes in the second quarter vs. same period last year.

Fenesta has recorded encouraging volumes with traction being witnessed in both the ‘Retail’ and ‘Projects’ segment.

Expansion of the fabrication capacity is being undertaken with an investment of Rs 18.5 Cr.

The company conducted another successful Fenesta Open National Championship in Oct 2016. This tournament is

a reflection of our commitment to sports and it is widely recognized as a platform for spotting young talent with

potential. This year, Dakshineshwar Suresh from Chennai and Salsa Aher from Pune emerged as Champions in the

under - 16 category for boys and girls respectively. They showed immense grit and courage, and we hope to see them

representing the country one day.

On the 8th of November, Government of India demonetised the Rs.1000 and Rs.500 notes. This would definitely help in

bringing better transparency in the economic activities of the country. Along with the proposed GST implementation,

we feel these measures would give a strong boost to economic growth and job creation in the medium and long term,

inspite of some pressures emerging in the short term to adjust to the new working environment.

Finally as the year winds down, we would like to wish all of you and your families a Very Happy New Year and may

2017 bring Happiness, Joy and Good Health to all.

CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Mr. Ajay S. Shriram addressing the audience at Fenesta Open

Ever since 1998, DCM Shriram has been organising

the National Hardcourt Tennis Championship, later

renamed as the FENESTA OPEN NATIONAL TENNIS

CHAMPIONSHIP in 2011. Today, it is undoubtedly the

best tribute to DCM Shriram’s policy of promoting

sports by providing the sporting talent a platform to

rise and shine in the world of sports.

The beginning of Fenesta Open National Tennis

Championship can be traced back to 1992, when DCM

Shriram stepped forward to organise an Open Tennis

Championship for Delhi State under the aegis of the All

India Tennis Association. After noting the remarkable

organising capabilities of DCM Shriram and observing

a steady increase in participation year after year, the

All India Tennis Association had concluded in 1998

that the company was fully competent to organise the

NATIONAL HARDCOURT TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.
