The public issue, which is entirely a fresh issue of 8.44 crore equity shares, is priced in the band of Rs 85–90 per share, and will close on July 28. The tentative listing date is July 31 on both BSE and NSE. The IPO has a grey market premium (GMP) of around 9%.

These are managed under global hospitality brands like Marriott, Accor, and IHG, with an average occupancy rate of 76.8% in FY25, significantly above the industry average of 64.5%. The company plans to expand its portfolio to 14 hotels with 2,560 keys by FY29, including marquee additions like a Grand Hyatt in Chennai and a Ritz-Carlton wellness resort in Kerala. Live Events Brigade Hotel has shown solid topline growth with revenues rising from Rs 350 crore in FY23 to Rs 468 crore in FY25. EBITDA margins remain strong at 35%, but net profit declined to Rs 23.7 crore in FY25 from Rs 31 crore in FY24, and return ratios remain modest. At the upper end of the price band, the issue is valued at a steep P/E of 125x and P/B of 32.3x, which is higher than peers like Lemon Tree Hotels or Indian Hotels Co. Should You Subscribe? Brokerages have taken a mixed but cautiously optimistic stance. Ventura Securities recommends a 'Subscribe', highlighting the company's premium asset base, occupancy-led growth, and synergies from its parent Brigade Enterprises. Canara Bank Securities, however, flags concerns around the high valuations and recommends subscribing only for investors with a long-term horizon. Given the premium brand affiliations, strategic expansion plans, and strong market positioning in South India, BHVL stands to benefit from India's long-term hospitality upcycle. However, the IPO's high valuation and modest profitability metrics warrant caution. Investors looking for long-term participation in the premium hotel segment may consider subscribing, while those seeking short-term listing gains may find the 9% GMP underwhelming.

Commenting on the earnings, MD & CEO Manoj Bhat called Q1 a strong quarter. "Our domestic business continues to do very well. Our standalone profit grew by 69% and our PAT margin expanded by 680 bps. Resort performance has been consistent with double-digit revenue growth and sustained occupancy of 85%+ on an expanded inventory base. We have commenced a new expansion project and are focused on achieving our aspiration of 10,000 rooms by FY30," Bhat said. "Our European operation, HCRO, has improved its performance in a weak seasonal quarter showing resilience amidst multiple economic headwinds. Our consolidated profits were impacted by adverse currency movements largely due to the sharp movement in the Euro. Despite this, our consolidated profits up by 18% YoY," he added.

Bonhomie after hostility: Wind in Male seems to be in Delhi's favour
Ties warmer, PM Modi makes 1st Maldives trip of Muizzu era NEW DELHI: On Friday, when PM Narendra Modi touches down in the Maldives as the first foreign leader on a state visit under President Mohamed Muizzu, it will complete a shift in equations over the last two years. Muizzu was elected to office on an "India Out" platform. His cabinet colleagues didn't help matters by attacking Modi. Amid concerns over India losing a key ally, the govt had maintained its cool, with Modi being the first world leader to congratulate Muizzu. With the Muizzu govt inviting Modi to be the guest of honour for the Maldives' 60th independence day celebrations, official sources termed the turnaround as a validation of the Modi govt's policy of "strategic restraint". "Patience has its benefits; it helps if you don't give in to the compulsion and expectation to retaliate against each provocation," said a senior source. After turbulent times, wind in the island nation seems to be blowing in India's favour which bailed out the Maldives while it was facing a financial crisis. Govt had stepped in with an emergency financial aid of $400 million and currency swaps of Rs 3,000 crore, something that leaders in the Maldives have not forgotten, and the ties have become stronger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo "India is a key partner in the socio-economic and infrastructure development of the Maldives, and has stood by the Maldives during our times of need," Muizzu had said when he had visited India in Nov last year. Apart from the critical financial support and over $450 million of trade and investment footprint, and strong flow of tourists, India has offered continued defence, maritime, and capacity-building cooperation, and there are 13 new MoUs expanding ferry services across the Maldives. The frostiness which set in after the ouster of the defeat of Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in an election where he was dubbed India's vassal, seems to have been lifted because of the restraint exercised by New Delhi.
