Management Message

Letter from the Managing Directors

Dear Shareholders,

Namaskar!

We, at Dalmia Bharat, believe that growth is not defined solely by what we build, but by the enduring value we create for the nation. This belief continues to guide how we invest, operate and scale. For more than eight decades, the story of Dalmia Bharat has been intrinsically linked to the rise of Bharat, contributing to landmark infrastructure that has shaped its progress. This belief also defines our role today as a sustainable partner to Bharat’s growth journey. From enabling mega infrastructure projects such as the Hirakud Dam, Vidyasagar Setu, and the New Pamban Bridge, to supporting critical developments such as the Dibang enabling connectivity, resilience, and national progress.

Mr. Gautam Dalmia

Managing Director

A Legacy of Building Bharat

Some legacies are measured by the years they endure. Others are defined by the nation they help shape.

For over 85 years, Dalmia Bharat has stood as a symbol of vision, resilience, innovation and nation building, contributing meaningfully to the making of modern Bharat. Our foundation has been rooted in the Gandhian philosophy of Trusteeship: the belief that wealth is not truly owned, but held in custodianship for the nation, its people and generations to come. This enduring philosophy has served as the moral compass guiding Dalmia Bharat’s illustrious journey.

India’s journey towards becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047 will be shaped not only by the pace of economic growth, but also by how sustainably it is achieved across industrial, manufacturing and urban ecosystems.

Progress across our key levers of decarbonisation remains strong, including operational efficiencies, renewable energy adoption under RE100, increased use of alternative fuels, and transition to low‑carbon materials.
