  • The venue is projected to generate annual revenues of INR 15-20 crore in its first full financial year of operations with an EBITDA margin of 25-30%, supported by high utilization rates, premium sponsorship integrations, and a diversified revenue mix (venue rental, ticketing share, F&B, parking, branding rights, etc.).

This initiative marks a positive step towards company’s vision of creating scalable, IP-driven venues across emerging urban markets.
