Embassy Office Parks REIT delivered a strong start to FY27, reporting a 17% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to ₹12,408.12 million and Net Operating Income (NOI) to ₹10,205 million in Q1FY27. The REIT’s consolidated net profit stood at ₹1,952.18 million, marking a significant turnaround from the net loss of ₹4,300.24 million in Q4FY26, which was primarily driven by a one-time write-off of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credits. The Board declared a distribution of ₹6.31 per unit, totaling ₹5,981.21 million, payable on or before August 11, 2026.
The financial performance was underpinned by robust leasing activity and high occupancy levels across its portfolio. Embassy leased 1.3 million square feet (msf) across 17 deals in the quarter, with Global Capability Centers (GCCs) accounting for 81% of total demand. CEO Amit Shetty highlighted that 86% of new leasing came from 10 new entrants, many of which are large global enterprises embedded in the AI ecosystem. Portfolio occupancy remained stable at 93% by value, with Mumbai at 100%, Bengaluru at 95%, Noida at 93%, and Chennai at 92%. New leases were signed at an average 8% premium to market rents, reflecting strong pricing power.
Financial Performance Highlights
Revenue growth was driven by an uptick in portfolio occupancy, rental reversions, and the contribution from new buildings delivered in the previous year. Hotel NOI grew 6% year-on-year to supported by a 100-basis point increase in occupancy to 61% and a 5% rise in Average Daily Rates (ADR). The solar plant segment generated 44 million units, contributing a stabilized quarterly NOI of ₹23 million. Statutory Auditors S.R. Batliboi & Associates LLP issued an unmodified review report, confirming compliance with SEBI REIT Regulations and Ind AS 34.
