Purpose-Led
Growth in a Transforming India
Dear Stakeholders,
It gives me great pride to present Brigade Enterprises Limited's first ever Integrated
Annual Report for FY 2024-25. This year has been one of strong performance, purposeful
growth and expanding impact.
Navigating a Dynamic Economic Landscape
FY24-25 unfolded against the backdrop of a recovering global economy. While
inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties continue to pose challenges, India
remains a beacon of resilience and growth. The Indian real estate sector, supported by
robust demand and evolving consumer preferences, has seen significant momentum,
particularly in residential and premium asset classes. Government policies favouring
infrastructure development, urbanisation and sustainability have further reinforced this
trend.
Record Financial Performance
Brigade has delivered a year of record-breaking performance. We achieved our highest
ever presales of 57,847 Crore, a remarkable 31% growth over FY23-24, with a volume of 7.05
Million sq. ft. launched across 11 projects, the largest in our history. The average
realisation stood at 511,138 per sq. ft., up by 40%, driven by a focused strategy on
premium residential offerings.
On the commercial front, we launched 2 Million sq. ft. of office space, with our
flagship properties like Brigade Twin Towers witnessing robust demand from flex spaces,
retail and manufacturing sectors. Mall consumption also grew by 4% Y-O-Y, underscoring the
strength of our mixed-use ecosystem.
Our total revenue increased by 5% Y-O-Y to 55,314 Crore, while EBITDA grew 21% to
51,654 Crore. Profit after tax rose significantly to 5680 Crore, highlighting our focus on
execution, margin optimisation and operational efficiency. It is also noteworthy that our
residential segment continues to be debt-free, reflecting financial prudence and healthy
cash flows.
Scale, Diversification and Innovation
We launched over 9.5 Million sq. ft. across 11 projects, our highest ever and expanded
into mixed-use and plotted developments. Our commercial leasing portfolio now spans 9
Million sq. ft., with demand driven by marquee tenants across manufacturing, flex and IT
sectors. Orion Malls continue to lead with high footfalls and trading density, supported
by green operations powered by 80% renewable energy.
The hospitality vertical, now comprising 9 operating hotels and ~1,600 keys, posted
strong profitability with branded assets under global operators. Our clubs and convention
centres continue to be benchmarks in experiential service.
ESG: Built into the Blueprint
Brigade is advancing confidently on its net zero by 2045 roadmap. FY25 saw a 3X
increase in renewable energy usage, an 8.8% reduction in energy consumption and a 17.5%
drop in operational emissions compared to the previous year. We have now planted over 1
lakh trees, with another 1 lakh scheduled and have cumulative 16.35 Million sq.ft. of
Certified Green Space and it is a a testament to our environmental stewardship.
Our ESG monitoring tech platform went live this year, improving transparency and
accountability across projects. Climate and biodiversity risks have also been integrated
into our enterprise risk management framework.
Commitment to People and Communities
Our purpose extends beyond commercial success. The Brigade Foundation continues to
uplift communities through education, health and skill development initiatives. The Indian
Music Experience Museum, India's first hi-tech interactive music museum, remains a proud
symbol of cultural investment.
Workplace inclusion and diversity are progressing steadily, with 33% of our Board now
represented by women, moving towards our 50% goal by 2028. Recognised for 14 consecutive
years as a Great Place to Work, Brigade remains an employer of choice in the real estate
sector.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead to FY25-26, we have a strong launch pipeline of ~15 Million sq. ft.,
including key projects in fast-growing metros. The planned IPO of Brigade Hotel Ventures
Ltd. will unlock value and support further scale in our hospitality business.
Simultaneously, tech- led platforms such as Brigade REAP and initiatives like Here4You and
Brigade Plus will continue to enhance customer and partner experiences.
With an investment-grade balance sheet, a pan-South India presence and a diversified
portfolio, Brigade is well-positioned to sustain momentum. Our focus remains clear:
responsible growth, innovation-driven execution and lasting value creation.
Gratitude
We are not just building structures, we are shaping experiences, environments and
futures. I extend sincere thanks to our shareholders, employees, customers and partners
for their continued trust and support. Together, we will keep transforming city skylines
and lives.
Warm regards,
M.R. Jaishankar
