farm inputs marketing, such as crop care chemicals and hybrid seeds. Its Chlor-Vinyl Business includes caustic
soda, chlorine, calcium carbide, power and cement. It has manufacturing facilities of Fertilizer, Chloro Vinyl and
Cement in Kota (Rajasthan). On the back of capacity addition in the high margin Chloro Vinyl business and an
expected turnaround in the Sugar Industry, DCM Shriram is expected see significant change in its margin profile
going forward and is a suitable candidate for re-rating.
DCM Shriram’s Hariyali Kisan Bazar was involved in selling of Agriputs/ Fuels to the farmers. However, the
segment had been making huge losses for the past several years. Now the company has been in process of
rationalising its operations and is now limited to selling fuel to the farmers. The management is now focusing
on closure and sale of assets, when the contract with BPCL expires. It will take about 3-4 years to close the
segment completely.
Investment Rationale
Capacity addition in high margin Chloro Vinyl to aid in growth
Sugar Segment continues to post strong growth
Good Monsoon will lead to better growth in Agri Inputs segment
Fenesta windows UPVC segment to post strong growth
Expect revenues to post 13% and PAT to record 15% cagr over FY17-19E

DCM Shriram Limited (DCMSHR)
The company completed capacity expansion projects for Chlor-Alkali including a captive power plant at Bharuch in Gujarat and power
generation in Sugar business at total investment of approximately Rs 700 crores and company completed in Q3 FY17. These plants have
stabilized and have started contributing to the earnings of the company. Company will have benefits of these projects for the full year of FY18.
Simultaneously, discontinuation of DAP and MOP trading business and better payment situation for fertilizer subsidy led to reducing overall
debt levels over last year.
Company’s’ balance sheet and cash generation is very comfortable, which enables it to look at further growth initiatives. Company is presently
implementing projects involving Chlor-Alkali capacity expansion at Kota includes setting up of 150 kilolitres per day distillery at sugar factory
and expanding the fabrication capacity at Fenesta. These projects will involve investments of about Rs 300 crores and will be completed fully
by the end of FY18 and will further contribute to the earnings next year onwards.
Chloro Vinyl, post completion of the expansion and technology upgradation project total capacity now stands at 1,343 tonnes per day. At
Bharuch there's a capacity of 1,013 tonnes per day on the latest capacity on the latest technology. The capacity utilization at Bharuch stood
at 77% in Q4 FY17 and will improve with improvement in demand of chlorine.
Selling prices of caustic soda are firm, in line with international prices. However, low prices of chlorine and the currency appreciation are
impacting the overall price realization. We expect improvements in this situation over the next few months as the excess chlorine gets
absorbed in the market. The investments in technology and increase in scale has improved the cost competitiveness.
The expansion project at Kota, wherein it is expanding liquid as well as flaking capacity is progressing well and it will come online in Q4 FY18.
Regarding plastics, the prices of PVC, as well as carbide are stable. Currency appreciation is creating some pressure on domestic prices. The
increase in coal and carbon costs and pressure on prices will be a challenge going forward.
Sugar Segment
The Indian Sugar Industry has been reeling under bad monsoon and adverse Cane pricing, leading to significant losses over the past few
years. This was further exacerbated by significant fall in the Sugar prices last year. A more rational Cane Policy in U.P., where Cane price
subsidy is linked to sugar price has largely insulated the Sugar companies from adverse price shocks. This coupled with a Central Government
policy to push Ethanol use in fuel and policies to ensure exports of the surplus sugar have started pushing the Sugar prices upward. After
making a low of Rs 21-22 per kg almost 2-3 years back, Sugar prices has recovered off-late to ~Rs 35 per kg.
On the back of supporting government policies, Indian Sugar Industry, which has been a laggard for the past several years, is on the verge
of a significant turnaround. DCM Shriram has 379,500 MT of Sugar capacity and is expected capitalize on the emerging trend. The Sugar
business reported an EBIT of Rs 315cr in FY17, +259% yoy in FY17.

Shriram Farm Solutions
Shriram Farm Solution had been selling Bulk Fertilizers or MOP/DAP (Rs 7000mn in FY17), Value added products (Rs 6000mn) and SSP (Rs
4983mn). As Bulk Fertilizers has a very low EBIT margin of ~1%, the company has stopped selling it from FY17. This has led to loss of ~Rs
700cr of sales. However, overall margin will significantly improve as SSP and Value Added products have EBIT margins of 4-5% and 8-9%
respectively.
Bio Seeds Business
DCM Shriram entered in the Hybrid seeds business in 2002 by acquiring Bio seeds. Bioseed is a Research oriented organization and believes
in serving the farmers by providing high quality hybrid seeds with desired traits. It is a business with end to end integration which involves
research, production, processing and marketing.
The key crops that company deal in India comprises of BT cotton, Corn, Paddy, Vegetables among others. In international markets of
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, it deals primarily in corn and are developing market for paddy. The distribution network is wide spread
across regions and continues to grow as company increase volumes.
Company has research stations in all major agro-climatic regions, to cater to farmers in the respective regions. It spends about 8-10% of
revenue on research activities. This has led to healthy product pipeline. The product development is not only focused on providing high yielding
hybrids, but also meeting other challenges, such as pest resistance, disease tolerance, salinity and drought tolerance. The Company has got
into various research alliances to further strengthen its capabilities. The company increased its presence in India and South East Asia since
then. With an expectation of better monsoon, we expect this business to grow at strong growth going forward. DCM Shriram’s Bioseeds
business is vertically integrated with presence across Research, Production, Processing and Marketing.

DCM Shriram Limited (DCMSHR)
Sugar season the business had recorded about 47% increase in sugar cane crush. The sugar recovery stood at 11.1%, in line with last year.
The sugar prices also recorded improvements over last year. Higher cane crush as well as increased power generation capacity has led to
62% higher power sales during the year. The cane planting the area has recorded almost 12% to 13% growth over the last season. With
reasonable weather conditions it should enable us to achieve satisfactory growth in volumes next year also.
The domestic sugar production in the current season is expected to be lower than demand. This would enable the industry to reduce the
excess stocks it has been carrying over the last few years and help stabilize its prices.
Company expect the central and state governments to continue a policy environment which is good for the farmer as well as the industry.
The 150 kiloliters per day distillery project to produce ethanol at the Hariawan sugar factory is progressing as per plan and is expected to be
completed in Q4 FY18. This will further strengthen Sugar business.

DCM Shriram Limited (DCMSHR)
Industry Overview
Imports meet almost 50% of India's PVC demand. PVC Resin is a widely used raw material owing to its safe, healthy, convenient and aesthetical
advantage for applications in urban infrastructure, Electronic products, Consumer products, Irrigation etc. It is a thermoplastic with 57%
chlorine and 43% carbon, making it excellent fire resistant material. Almost 73% of PVC resins are used for producing PVC pipes in India,
mainly in agriculture & construction. The other key driver for PVC Resin is the rise in micro-irrigation. This sector is expected to account for a
sizeable percentage of the demand for PVC resins. Applications other than pipes such as packaging, profiles, pharmaceutical segments are
also poised for higher growth. India's per capita PVC consumption is ~2.3 Kg which is low compared to ~11.8 Kg in US & over 10 Kg in China.
With Steady rise in demand, high dependence on imports & promising prospects in the downstream agriculture & construction sectors, India
is likely to remain at the forefront of the global PVC market.
India's PVC resin installed capacity currently stands at around 1.4 million Metric Ton per annum (MTPA). As against this, domestic demand
has been growing steadily and has reached ~2.95 MTPA in FY17, up 9.3% over last year. The gap in demand and supply, which currently
stands at 54.5% of total demand, is being met by the import of PVC resin. The continued focus of the Govt. on building infrastructure –
development of smart cities, rural housing and Agri-asset creation, rapid urbanization and other initiatives like investments in rural sanitation
is expected to fuel growth of the PVC industry in India over the next few years. Indian PVC demand is expected to grow at 8 to 10% CAGR
for the next 4-5 years.
The Calcium Carbide demand in India is around 92000 MT p.a., Company is having 25% of the market share in the country, up from 23%
last year. Around 43% of India's demand is met by Imports, majorly from China which satisfies Southern & Western India's demand.
The business strives to provide complete solutions to the farmer ranging from products to agronomy. The product portfolio includes Value
added inputs such as Seeds (GM, Hybrid and OP), Crop Care Chemicals (Insecticide, Fungicide and Herbicide), Soluble Fertilizers, Micro-
Nutrients etc and Bulk Fertilizers like SSP & NPK. The business is supported by strong extension program called the SKVP (Shriram Krishi
Vikas Program). This program, apart from being an Agronomy services platform providing latest technology and practices to the farmers and
the Channel, also focuses on meeting its social responsibilities. The company lays strong emphasis on strengthening its customer interface

Q1 FY18 Results update
In Q1 FY18, DCM Shriram reported robust growth in revenues largely driven by robust growth in revenues from the sugar business as well
as capacity ramp-up of new Chloro-Vinyl plant. A robust profitability in the Sugar business was largely off-set by lower profitability in the
Chloro Vinyl and Fertilizer business. EBITDA margin improved marginally. Net profit during the quarter stood at Rs 233cr, +39% yoy.

Valuations
Despite large investments, company’s debt equity ratio is at 0.3x only. We think the stock has the potential to get rerated gradually despite
its exposure to commodity businesses as its performance across cycles has been healthy. Better monsoon and capacity addition in the high
margin Chloro Vinyl business will largely be off-set by revenue loss on account of plan to stop selling MOP/DOP under Shriram Farm Solutions.
Further, we expect 13% revenues and earnings to witness CAGR of 14.9% due to strong performance from Sugar business and improvement
in the profitability of the Agri-Input business. The company is now focusing more on businesses apart from Urea and Sugar (the two regulated
sectors) and expect the other sectors to grow strongly going ahead. At the CMP of Rs 392, DCM Shriram trades at EV/EBITDA of 6.4x FY19E.
Based upon 8.2x FY19E EV/EBITDA, we assign DCM Shriram as BUY with TP of Rs 485. We recommend investors to BUY the stock at cmp of
Rs 392 and add on dips to Rs 349 with target price of Rs 485.
Risks and Concerns
Monsoon has significant impact on its revenue stream
DCM has a very high dependence on Monsoon as 70-75% of its revenues are from Agri-Input and Sugar businesses.
Government Policies
DCM Shriram’s Bioseeds, Sugar and Fertilizers businesses are directly regulated by the government and it makes the company highly
vulnerable to change in the government policies.
