With developments in the residential, office, retail, hotel, and educational sectors, it has created numerous iconic structures and changed the skylines of Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mysuru, Kochi, Trivandrum, and GIFT City, among other Indian cities. Over 300 structures totalling more than 100 million square feet have been built by the company. In addition to 16 million square feet of planned launches, it has 26 million square feet of ongoing projects. The company's FY25 real estate sales value of ₹7,847 crore was its largest ever, up 31% from FY24. With collections of ₹7,250 crore, a 23% rise over FY24, it also set a record for the year. The total sales volume for FY25 stood at 7.05 million square feet. At ₹2,135 crore, net cash flow from operating activities represented a 36% increase over FY24. Revenue from Brigade's leasing vertical increased by 24%, from ₹938 crore in FY24 to ₹1,165 crore in FY25. Since its inception, Brigade has completed a historic 100 million square feet of development across projects as of FY25. The company recently acquired 16.41 acres of premium land in Chennai and Bengaluru, with a combined potential revenue of nearly ₹3,600 crore. The business is progressively enhancing its footprint outside of Bangalore in the important markets of Hyderabad and Chennai. With a GDV of ₹13,500 crore, it initiated 11.5 million square feet of projects in FY25, of which 9.5 million were residential projects with a GDV of ₹11,700 crore. In the upcoming fiscal year, the company has a substantial pipeline of around 16 million square feet of developments in the residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Risk Factor: In the first nine months of fiscal 2025, 74% of BEL's collections came from the Bengaluru real estate market, demonstrating the company's heavy reliance on this area. In the domestic real estate market, cyclicality causes variations in saleability and realizations, which in turn affect cash flows. Cash flow and collections may also be impacted by muted demand.

Additionally, the business maintained its position as a preferred bidder in the Hybrid-Annuity Model (HAM) worth ₹3,000 crore and had an order inflow of almost ₹6,000 crore. A non-binding term sheet for a municipal platform to concentrate on the development of capital projects for the municipal sector with an equity investment commitment of $100 million in capital projects over a three- to five-year period was among the contracts and orders the company recently signed.

O&M revenue is on track for 20%, and working capital days have reduced to 110. Strong medium-term guidance in the next 3 to 4 years of visibility, with a focus on profitability and execution. Risk Factor: VA Tech Wabag faces key risks from its 38% revenue exposure to foreign markets, making it vulnerable to currency fluctuations.
