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. Leveraging our strong balance sheet, we are strategically expanding into adjacencies to drive scale, enhance operational integration, and maximize cost efficiencies, positioning ourselves for sustained competitive advantage.

New ramp at Hebbal flyover junction in Bengaluru likely to open by August 2025
Bengaluru: The first phase of the much-delayed additional ramp at Hebbal flyover is likely to be opened to motorists by early Aug, offering partial relief to commuters grappling with congestion at one of the city's busiest junctions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The new ramp, being constructed by BDA, starts near Baptist Hospital and is being integrated with the existing KR Pura loop to facilitate smoother movement toward Mehkri Circle. Once operational, the ramp is expected to ease traffic coming from Nagawara side. The structure spans approximately 700 metres, supported by 26 pillars and comprising 25 spans. A total of 99 girders have been installed, including those placed over the active railway line at the junction. To build a four-lane stretch above the operational track, BDA recently installed 33.5-metre-long girders, which required traffic diversions for vehicles coming from Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) toward Mehkri Circle. A senior BDA official confirmed the first phase of construction is in its final stages. "All structural work has been completed. Deck casting and road laying from Baptist Hospital side up to the railway track is done. The remaining stretch up to KR Pura loop should be completed by the end of July or first week of Aug," the official said. Originally envisioned to extend from Baptist Hospital to Esteem Mall, the ramp was meant to offer a dedicated corridor for airport-bound vehicles. However, the plan was scaled back due to multiple delays and traffic disruption concerns during construction. In the second phase, the ramp will be integrated with Tumakuru Road loop, currently used by traffic from the service road near Esteem Mall and Tumakuru Road (ORR side) heading toward Mehkri Circle. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now First proposed in 2015-16 The project, first proposed in 2015-16, saw multiple interruptions. Initial construction began in 2018-19, but was stalled after BMRCL objected to the road's alignment, citing conflicts with future Metro expansions. By then, BDA had already spent Rs 25 crore. Work resumed two years later with a redesigned plan that introduced significant changes, including integration of KR Pura loop — an element not part of the original blueprint. To accommodate the new design, BDA partially demolished KR Pura loop last year. Earlier, plans to demolish Tumakuru Road loop and build a new road through the adjacent tree park were also abandoned in favour of retaining both loops and integrating them with the new ramp. While the initial objective was to streamline traffic from KIA side, changes in the plan mean that vehicles on national highway's mainline will not benefit directly from the new infrastructure. Separately, BDA had also proposed a comprehensive revamp of Hebbal flyover junction, including a new flyover from KR Pura, connecting to the KIA-bound national highway, and new loops to manage traffic toward Tumakuru Road and other directions. However, financial constraints forced BDA to shelve these plans for now. BDA chairman NA Haris was not available for comments.

Aspirants Take AI Reality Check Before Taking Poll Plunge
Nagpur: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can do a lot many things that can help improve efficiency and productivity on individual or organisational level, but can it predict how an aspirant will fare in an election? That's no longer a question, but something that's already being tried and tested. In fact, AI is the latest trend in poll strategy with aspirants seeking "advice" about their chances of winning, before throwing their hat in the ring. Some poll strategy/survey companies are now offering an AI-driven analytics services to prepare a full report on the chances (in percentage) an aspirant has in a particular ward, based on past poll records, political competition, ground surveys and issues which are connecting with people. An aspirant from North Nagpur, who wanted to check his prospects in the upcoming civic body elections, got such a report from a Mumbai-based company. The aspirant told TOI that it was a cost-effective way to get a reality check. "It's like a marriage kundli-matching report," he laughed while explaining the concept. "For less than Rs 3 lakh I get this report which provides me with a neutral view on what my chances are, regardless of what my supporters say or what I feel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This way, I can decide whether or not to spend a lot of money in the entire poll campaign," said the aspirant. This AI generated testing-the-waters report works out best for poll aspirants who are not career politicians, though the data is crucial for every category of aspirant. Successful businessmen and moneybags who are keen to try their luck in politics still keep the 'economic viability' of their new venture in mind. This poll aspirant got TOI in touch with two others who also got the report made, and said "it helps a lot". One of them said, "The report is very detailed and we got it in Marathi only. A team came down here and did the survey and two weeks later I got the report. The chart showed us which issues are important in the ward and which party is the preferred one. Then there was an advice on what issues I will have to focus on for victory. But my report gave a low chance of me winning, so I am thinking whether or not to contest." Through these poll aspirants, TOI got in touch with the company in Mumbai, which prepared the reports. Speaking on behalf of the company, Chaitanya Wadekar said even before internet came, surveys were being done. "What has changed now is how the data is collected and most importantly – due to advent of AI – how that data is analyzed and presented," Wadekar said. Wadekar said, "AI predictive model becomes better as more data pours in. We feed it with our intensive ground intel, combined with old poll results, demographics, issues etc to get a more detailed response. Our digital AI-driven database also identifies local influencers, be it social media stars, activists, lawyers, community leaders, who each can swing a few hundred or even a thousand votes in favour of the candidate. " Poll aspirants also get a dedicated online dashboard, in Marathi too, and at the click of the button they can see a comprehensive interactive report. The third poll aspirant TOI spoke with said, "Everyone enters polls to win, nobody says I am here to lose unless you have an agenda to cut votes. And at the civic body level, candidates have to mostly put up their own funds. So, the more accurate information you can get, the better.
