The Rs 759.6 crore initial public offering ( IPO ) of Brigade Hotel Ventures (BHVL), a hospitality arm of real estate major Brigade Enterprises , was subscribed 98% on the second day of bidding on Friday, driven by strong interest from retail and non-institutional investors.By 1:12 pm on day 2, the retail tranche had been bid 3.93 times, while the non-institutional investor (NII) category saw 73% subscription. The quota for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) received 8% bids.In the unofficial grey market, Brigade Hotel shares were trading at a premium of Rs 6 over the issue's upper price band of Rs 90, indicating a potential listing price of Rs 96 and an implied 6.7% upside. The GMP fell from Rs 8 on Thursday.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.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.Revenues grew from Rs 350 crore in FY23 to Rs 468 crore in FY25, supported by 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.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.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.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Burj Khalifa vs Gurugram flat price: Gurugram homes are now more expensive than apartments in world's tallest building in Dubai, 1 BHK units cost is Rs…
Gurugram's real estate market is now becoming costlier than not only Indian cities but also global luxury hubs like Dubai. In premium residential projects like DLF Camellias and The Magnolias, apartment prices have climbed, starting from Rs 75 crore and going up to Rs 190 crore. Why Are Gurugram's Property Rates So High? Owning property in Gurugram is becoming difficult for common people day by day. Owning a luxury apartment has become more expensive than buying a home in Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa. For example, in high-end projects like DLF Camellias and The Magnolias, flat prices start at Rs 75–80 crore which is around Rs 1.8 lakh per sq ft a rate that, in some cases, is even higher than premium addresses like Palm Jumeirah or Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Gurugram VS Burj Khalifa, Dubai Flat Price Flat Type Gurugram (Rs Crore) Burj Khalifa, Dubai (Rs Crore) 1BHK 75–80 2.5–4.3 3BHK / Ultra-Luxury 150–190 12–14 Penthouse (Super-Luxury) – 200 A 1BHK in Gurugram's luxury projects can cost Upto Rs 75–80 crore, compared to Rs 2.5–4.3 crore in Burj Khalifa. For a 3BHK ultra-luxury apartment, Gurugram prices range between Rs 150–190 crore, while similar units in Burj Khalifa are priced around Rs 12–14 crore. While a super-luxury penthouse in Burj Khalifa can touch Rs 200 crore, Gurugram has also seen flat sales close to that price range even for smaller units. Why Are Prices Skyrocketing in Gurugram? Experts attribute this trend to a combination of factors: NRI investments Limited supply of premium units Growing demand from corporate hubs And prime location advantages Over the past five years, average property prices in Gurugram have jumped by more than 80%. In 2020, some areas were priced at around Rs 7,000 per sq ft — today, premium projects are quoting up to Rs 1.8 lakh per sq ft. A luxury apartment in Burj Khalifa also costs around Rs 50–60 crore (in INR). However, in Gurugram's Camellias or Magnolias, similarly sized or even smaller units are being sold for Rs 80 crore or more. Record transactions have crossed the Rs 150–190 crore mark.

Guided tour of Delhi on AC e-buses likely from Sept
New Delhi: Delhi govt is going to expand its city tourism services by engaging two electric buses from Delhi Transport Corporation . Officials said that these buses would start from the Delhi Tourism's office at Baba Kharak Singh Marg and cover the city's popular tourist spots along with some new landmarks before dropping the passengers back from where it started. Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation has entered into an agreement with DTC to hire air-conditioned electric buses. "We hope to start the service by Sept 1 after getting the buses branded in special wrapping promoting Delhi as a tourist destination, and training of guides," said a DTTDC official. The buses will cover several destinations, including Connaught Place, Police Memorial, historical monuments, Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya and Dilli Haat. The buses will stop at certain destinations for a fixed time to allow the tourists to take a quick round. The proposed ticket price is Rs 500 for adults and Rs 300 for children aged between 6 and 12. Officials said that each bus would have a seating capacity of 32 passengers. There are also plans to introduce an audio translation service for which headsets with multiple language options will be provided. DTTDC planned to start six theme-based tours covering Delhi's heritage monuments, food streets, markets, shopping malls and museums before the G20 Summit in Sept 2023. The plan, however, was shelved considering that not many tourists may be interested in theme-based circuits and would rather prefer one consolidated tour covering all important destinations. A senior DTTDC official said that the department might consider expanding the service and engaging more buses to run on different circuits after evaluating the response to the soon-to-start city tours. Depending on the number of tourists booking for a city tour or for a trip outside Delhi, DTTDC provides cars as well as bigger vehicles on rent.
