The short read
Brigade Hotel Ventures reported Q1 FY27 consolidated total income of INR131 crores, up 5% year-on-year, with EBITDA of INR46 crores and profit after tax of INR17 crores, up 140% from INR7 crores a year earlier. Management attributed the quarter's F&B softness to cancellation and postponement of MICE events linked to the West Asia conflict, while room revenue was supported by a shift toward domestic corporate and social event demand. The company also announced a leadership change, with incoming CEO Vinay Gupta replacing outgoing COO Manoj Agarwal, and outlined a pipeline to expand the portfolio to 3,300 keys by FY31.
