Bellona Hospitality targets 100 restaurants, Rs 650 crore revenue by FY30
Bellona Hospitality, the food and beverage arm of Phoenix Mills Ltd, aims to grow its portfolio to 100 restaurants and achieve Rs 600 to 650 crore revenue by 2029-30 (FY30), Managing Director Prashant Issar told PTI. The company, which operates 32 outlets across five cities under six brands, reported around Rs 150 crore revenue in FY26.
For this expansion, Issar said the company has set a capital expenditure of Rs 100 crore, to be raised through internal accruals. The growth will initially focus on adding 20-30 outlets in its current markets of Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, followed by entry into Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, and new Phoenix malls in Kolkata and Indore. The brands driving the expansion will be Cha, Ishaara and Eight.
On overseas plans, Issar stated the company is currently concentrating on India, noting that the Middle East, once attractive, is now not doing well due to current circumstances.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Business Standard and Economic Times carry the identical PTI wire story verbatim, making the coverage uniform straight reporting with no discernible editorial framing. The story reports Bellona Hospitality's organic expansion plan financed entirely through internal accruals, with no external debt or equity raise mentioned. The absence of any critical or alternative framing means the analysis is limited to what the company itself chose to disclose. The concrete next step is the planned addition of 20-30 outlets within existing cities as the first phase of the 100-restaurant target.
