GMP of Brigade Hotel IPO
In the unofficial grey market, Brigade Hotel shares were trading at a premium of Rs 8 over the issue's upper price band of Rs 90, indicating a potential listing price of Rs 98 and an implied 8.9% upside.
IPO details
The IPO, comprising a fresh issue of 8.44 crore shares, is priced in a range of Rs 85–90 per share and will remain open until July 28. The stock is scheduled to debut on both BSE and NSE on July 31.
Portfolio and growth plans
BHVL operates nine upscale hotels with 1,604 rooms across key South Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, and Mysuru, as well as GIFT City in Gujarat. These properties are managed under marquee hospitality brands such as Marriott, Accor, and IHG.
The company posted an average occupancy rate of 76.8% in FY25, well above the industry average of 64.5%. BHVL aims to expand its portfolio to 14 hotels with 2,560 keys by FY29, with upcoming projects including a Grand Hyatt in Chennai and a Ritz-Carlton wellness resort in Kerala.
Financials and valuation
Revenues grew from Rs 350 crore in FY23 to Rs 468 crore in FY25, supported by a strong operating performance, with EBITDA margins holding at 35%. However, net profit slipped to Rs 23.7 crore in FY25 from Rs 31 crore the previous year, while return ratios remain subdued.
Live Events
At the top end of the price band, the issue is valued at a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 125x and a price-to-book (P/B) of 32.3x — levels that outstrip peers such as Lemon Tree Hotels and Indian Hotels Co.
Analyst view
Brokerages remain divided. Ventura Securities has issued a 'Subscribe' rating, citing the company's premium asset base and strong brand partnerships, while Canara Bank Securities has cautioned about steep valuations, suggesting only long-term investors consider the offer.
Given its strategic presence in South India, premium affiliations, and expansion pipeline, BHVL is well-positioned to ride India's hospitality upcycle. Yet, the subdued grey market premium of 9% and the lofty valuation metrics suggest limited near-term listing gains.

Vedanta continues winning street confidence: Brokerages forecast strong earnings ahead

New Delhi: Major global and Indian brokerages remain optimistic on Vedanta Ltd's performance for FY26, citing stronger LME pricing trends, cost discipline, deleveraging, and a resilient aluminium business among the key growth drivers. These firms have also taken note of the several growth projects scheduled for commissioning or completion in the next few quarters. JP Morgan noted that Vedanta's first quarter consolidated EBITDA was largely in line with estimates, with key segments such as aluminium, oil and gas, and power faring better than its expectations, leading to an overall segmental EBITDA beat. On the earnings trajectory for the current and next fiscal, the firm expects various ongoing initiatives at Vedanta to aid growth. "Vedanta's capacity expansion journey in the aluminium business as well as vertical integration should bring cost advantages. LME prices have also bottomed out and should continue to move higher into FY26-27, likely aiding earnings growth." Echoing similar views on LME prices and its potential benefit, Citi Research cited that Vedanta's parent (Vedanta Resources) leverage is at comfortable levels. It listed potential upside in medium-term aluminium LME prices, lower cost, and the demerger as another positive for Vedanta, while adding that aluminium globally has a limited supply growth. Mumbai-based Nuvama Institutional Equities expects Vedanta to deliver quarter-on-quarter EBITDA growth in Q2. "Q2FY26 EBITDA is likely to increase 10 per cent-plus quarter-on-quarter on the back of higher prices and lower aluminium cost of production. Major aluminium projects are likely to be commissioned in Q2FY26. We reckon net debt/EBITDA ex-Hindustan Zinc shall fall to 1.7x by FY26-end, compared to 2.7x in FY25. Demerger of the business is likely to be concluded in Q4FY26," the firm said in its report. The brokerage expects Vedanta's all major projects except coal blocks to be likely commissioned in the current fiscal, providing volume growth and cost reduction visibility for the company. UK-based Investec stated in its post-earnings report that Vedanta is a key beneficiary of depreciation in the Indian Rupee. Other near-term positives listed by the firm include declining alumina prices and the company offering attractive yields. The firm has retained its buy recommendation on Vedanta. Research firms like Kotak Institutional Equities and IIFL have cited factors like cost efficiencies and deleveraging at both Vedanta Ltd and its parent Vedanta Resources as beneficial factors. Vedanta's adjusted profit after tax jumped 13 per cent year-on-year to Rs 5,000 crore. The company clocked its highest-ever first-quarter EBITDA of Rs 10,746 crore, which was up 5 per cent year-on-year.
