Final Verdict
DCM Shriram is a steady, policy-backed conglomerate with strong positions in ethanol, sugar, and industrial chemicals. While its profit growth is improving, low ROE and high debt prevent aggressive re-rating. Our 2026–2030 price targets (₹1,200–₹1,750) reflect gradual, dividend-supported appreciation—not multibagger potential. Investors should monitor ethanol margins, debt reduction, and ROCE trends closely.
