Elevate Campuses IPO GMP Today
The latest grey-market updates are showing some variation. Economic Times reported a GMP of around ₹3–₹4, equivalent to roughly 1% above the upper price band, while an earlier September 22 report from NDTV Profit cited ₹14. Another tracker had also reported ₹16 before subsequently showing ₹0.
Because the reported figures are inconsistent, the latest GMP should be treated cautiously rather than using one number as definitive.
| GMP Particular | Latest Update |
|---|---|
| Reported GMP | Around ₹3–₹4 in latest ET update |
| Upper Price Band | ₹362 |
| Indicative Price | Around ₹365–₹366 |
| Indicative Premium | Around 1% |

Elevate Campuses Business Overview
Elevate Campuses is an institutional real-estate platform focused primarily on student accommodation and K-12 education infrastructure. The company owns, operates and manages on-campus student accommodation for higher-education institutions and also owns K-12 assets.
Its student-living operations are conducted through brands including Good Host Spaces and ScholarZ. As of March 31, 2026, the company's platform had the capacity to cater to approximately 80,255 students across 15 cities in India and one city in the United Arab Emirates.
The company combines owned campuses with managed properties, providing services such as accommodation, dining, housekeeping, security, laundry, sports and other student-oriented facilities.
Elevate Campuses Student Accommodation Portfolio
As of March 2026, Elevate Campuses owned seven student accommodation campuses with a total capacity of approximately 20,368 beds across six Indian cities. Its managed portfolio included 14 additional student accommodation campuses with around 55,487 beds under management.
The company also owns two K-12 education assets in Dubai. This gives Elevate Campuses exposure to both student living and education-related institutional infrastructure.
The combination of owned and managed assets forms an important part of its operating model and allows the company to participate in the student-accommodation market without relying exclusively on owned properties.
Elevate Campuses IPO Financial Performance
Elevate Campuses reported significant growth in consolidated revenue and profit in FY2026. Revenue from operations increased to ₹568.63 crore from ₹369.81 crore in FY2025, while profit after tax increased to ₹173.76 crore from ₹49.74 crore.
| Financial Year | Revenue | PAT |
|---|---|---|
| FY2024 | ₹347.00 Cr | ₹39.69 Cr |
| FY2025 | ₹369.81 Cr | ₹49.74 Cr |
| FY2026 | ₹568.63 Cr | ₹173.76 Cr |
The company also reported FY2026 EBITDA of approximately ₹545 crore in the consolidated financial data.
Elevate Campuses Financial Highlights
The company's FY2026 financial performance reflects a sharp increase in profit compared with the previous year. However, the balance sheet also carries substantial borrowings following expansion in the business.
| Financial Indicator | FY2026 |
|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹568.63 Cr |
| Total Income | ₹603.39 Cr |
| EBITDA | ~₹545 Cr |
| PAT | ₹173.76 Cr |
| Net Worth | ₹956.29 Cr |
| Total Borrowings | ₹4,120.53 Cr |
The reported borrowing level is substantially higher than the company's FY2025 borrowing figure of about ₹1,206.60 crore, making debt management an important factor for investors to monitor.
Elevate Campuses IPO Objects of the Issue
The IPO proceeds are primarily earmarked for acquisitions and debt reduction. The company plans to use ₹1,100 crore to acquire K-12 entities and campuses from fellow subsidiaries of its promoter group. Another ₹750 crore is proposed for repayment or prepayment of borrowings. The balance will be used for unidentified acquisitions, other strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes.
| IPO Objective | Amount |
|---|---|
| Acquisition of K-12 Entities/Campuses | ₹1,100 Cr |
| Debt Repayment / Prepayment | ₹750 Cr |
| Other Acquisitions / Strategic Initiatives / GCP | Balance |
The acquisition component is therefore a major part of the company's post-IPO growth strategy.
Elevate Campuses IPO Anchor Investment
Ahead of the public issue, Elevate Campuses raised approximately ₹945 crore from anchor investors. The anchor book included domestic mutual funds and global institutional investors.
The anchor allocation included 1.65 crore shares worth ₹600 crore allotted to eight domestic mutual funds through 24 schemes, alongside participation from international institutions.
Elevate Campuses IPO Growth Strategy
The company plans to expand its platform through acquisitions of K-12 education assets and campuses. The proposed ₹1,100 crore acquisition is expected to add education infrastructure assets to the company's portfolio.
Alongside acquisitions, debt repayment using ₹750 crore of IPO proceeds is intended to reduce borrowings at the company and selected wholly owned subsidiaries.
The company's future performance will therefore depend partly on how efficiently it integrates acquired assets and manages its existing student accommodation portfolio.
Elevate Campuses IPO Key Risks
Elevate Campuses operates a capital-intensive institutional real-estate business and has substantial borrowings. The reported consolidated borrowings of ₹4,120.53 crore as of FY2026 make interest costs, refinancing and debt management important considerations.
The company is also using a significant portion of IPO proceeds to acquire K-12 entities and campuses from fellow subsidiaries. The success of these acquisitions will depend on integration, asset utilisation and future operating performance.
Student accommodation demand can also vary by location, institution and student enrolment. Changes in university partnerships, occupancy, pricing and operating costs may affect revenue and margins.
The business has exposure to real-estate assets, making project-level execution, regulatory requirements, property utilisation and financing conditions relevant risks.
