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.

Best of BS Opinion: Soggy dribbles in finance, films, and diplomacy
There's something oddly thrilling about playing football in the park when it's raining heavily. You know it's not the ideal setting as every pass splashes water, every dribble slows down as the ball skids unpredictably across the soggy grass. But somehow, the game goes on. Strategy shifts. You focus more. Every movement demands improvisation. The mess, the friction, and the lost grip, it all becomes part of the play. Today's writeups hint at something similar. Institutions, industries, and individuals navigating a slippery, waterlogged pitch — trying to dribble ahead, adjusting each move to the terrain beneath. Let's dive in. Take India's state finances. A Crisil report shows revenue bouncing back slightly, with GST and liquor excise pulling their weight, but petroleum taxes dragging like waterlogged boots. Despite the slip-and-slide, states have kept their fiscal balance mostly intact. Yet deeper puddles remain: heavy dependence on the Centre and a debt-to-GDP ratio still high, notes our first editorial. Reform now means finding better studs: tighter GST compliance, digital tax trails, and predictable federal transfers. The game is on, but the pitch is far from ideal. In cinema too, the ball's taking unexpected turns. Aamir Khan's move to YouTube's pay-per-view model isn't just disruptive, it's democratic, highlights our second editorial. It bypasses uneven theatre access and expensive OTT subscriptions, bringing big films to small screens at Rs 100 or less. But success here hinges on how well creators learn to play on mobile-first grounds, use AI dubbing, and price smartly. If they can adapt, this could be the rain-slick breakthrough the film industry didn't know it needed. Meanwhile, on the foreign policy field, R Jagannathan argues India must stop kicking the ball around passively. Modi's rapport with world leaders may look good in photo-ops, but it hasn't kept adversaries from pushing forward. As geopolitical puddles deepen (Ukraine, Gaza, China), India must build influence through strategy, not symbolism. Think of it as learning to pass not just wide, but wise. And in corporate India, the Tata Trusts have moved early to back N Chandrasekaran, like a captain handing the armband before kick-off, writes Nivedita Mookerji. This preemptive support is not just procedural, it's tactical, especially as Tata Sons faces decisions on shareholding exits and RBI-mandated listings. It's a slippery pitch, and Tata seems determined to control the midfield. Lastly, L aveesh Bhandari reviews A World in Flux: India's Economic Priorities. Essays in Honour of Shankar Acharya, a collection of essays honouring Dr Shankar Acharya, thinkers reflect on economic playbooks past and future. While celebrating Acharya's policy genius, the book, edited by Amita Batra and A K Bhattacharya, also challenges today's players to update their formations for a world where climate, inequality, and politics increasingly shape the economy.
