PVR Inox Q3 FY25, Net Profits Surge By 180%

PVR INOX Ltd., India’s premier multiplex chain, emerged from the merger of PVR Cinemas and INOX Leisure Limited, creating a formidable leader in the entertainment landscape. 

PVR INOX Q3 FY25 Results

On February 6, 2025, PVR INOX marked a spectacular return to profitability, reporting a remarkable 180% surge in consolidated net profit for Q3 FY25, largely propelled by a series of festival blockbusters, including the runaway success ‘Pushpa 2’. The film single-handedly accounted for a staggering 36% of box office takings during the period. 

The company recorded a consolidated net profit of ₹35.9 crore for Q3 FY25, compared to ₹12.8 crore in the same period last year and a net loss of ₹11.8 crore in the previous quarter. Revenue from operations soared by 11% year-on-year to ₹1,717.3 crore.

Saurabh Pant, Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations, elaborated further, stating that the film added ₹254 crore to the company’s Hindi box office collections and approximately ₹63 crore to ₹67 crore from other regional language screenings.

 

To fuel sustainable growth, the company adopted a strategic shift by scaling back capital expenditure. “We transitioned to an innovative growth model focused on FOCO (franchise-owned, company-operated) and asset-light formats,” Pant explained.

Statement From Executive Director of PVR INOX

Sanjeev Bijli, Executive Director of PVR INOX, credited Pushpa 2: The Rule as the primary revenue driver for Q3 FY25, contributing ₹1,450 crore at the Indian box office.

Zomato to Change its Name as Eternal Ltd

Zomato Limited has decided to change its corporate identity and will now be known as Eternal Limited. While the Zomato brand will continue for food delivery, the new name reflects the company’s evolution into a multi-business enterprise, including Blinkit, District and Hyperpure.

Impact on Company’s Operations and Branding

While the parent company’s name will change to Eternal Ltd., the Zomato brand will continue to exist for food delivery services. Additionally, the company’s corporate website will transition from zomato.com to eternal.com, and its stock ticker will change from ZOMATO to ETERNAL. Despite these adjustments, users will still see the Zomato brand in its app, ensuring no disruption in the customer experience.

Eternal Ltd.: A Multi-Business Holding Company

The decision to rebrand aligns with Zomato’s expansion beyond food delivery. Eternal Ltd. will oversee four major business verticals:  

  • Zomato – The food delivery platform.  
  • Blinkit – A quick commerce service acquired by Zomato.  
  • District – A segment focused on dining-out experiences.  
  • Hyperpure – A business-to-business (B2B) grocery supply service.  

Strategic Reasons for the Name Change

Founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal explained that the shift to Eternal Ltd. represents the company’s evolution. He mentioned that Blinkit has become a crucial part of Zomato’s growth strategy, making this a suitable time for the rebranding. The move highlights how the company has diversified beyond its original business model with quick commerce becoming a significant revenue contributor.  

Symbolism Behind ‘Eternal’ 

Deepinder Goyal shared that the name ‘Eternal’ carries a deep meaning, symbolising resilience and long-term sustainability. He stated that true permanence is not about making bold claims but about continuously evolving to meet future challenges. 

Share Performance 

As of February 07, 2025, at 11:20 AM, the shares of Zomato are trading at ₹232.60 per share, up 1.55% from yesterday’s closing price. Over the last month, the stock has fallen by 7.86%. The stock’s 52-week high is ₹304.70 and its low is ₹139.

₹5,000 SIP for 30 Years vs ₹15,000 SIP for 20 Years: Which Can Build a Bigger Corpus?

Investing consistently over time is a key principle in wealth creation. While a larger monthly investment seems like the obvious choice for accumulating wealth, the duration of investment plays a significant role in determining the final corpus. The question is: which strategy builds more wealth—a ₹5,000 monthly SIP for 30 years or a ₹15,000 monthly SIP for 20 years?

The answer lies in the concept of compounding. The longer an investment stays invested, the more it benefits from compound growth, where returns are reinvested to generate further earnings. Read More About What is SIP Investment?

Understanding Compound Growth

Compound interest ensures that an investor earns returns not just on their principal amount but also on previous gains. For instance, if ₹1 lakh is invested in a mutual fund with an annual return of 12%, it will generate ₹12,000 in the first year. However, in the 2nd year, returns will be calculated on ₹1,12,000 instead of just ₹1 lakh, and so on.

Over time, this compounding effect accelerates wealth accumulation. The longer the tenure, the more pronounced the impact of compounding.

Corpus from a ₹5,000 Monthly SIP for 30 Years

  • Total Investment: ₹18,00,000
  • Estimated Capital Gains: ₹1,58,49,569
  • Estimated Corpus: ₹1,76,49,569

By investing ₹5,000 every month for 30 years, the extended time frame allows the investment to compound significantly, resulting in a corpus of ₹1.76 crore. The output is derived from this calculator

Corpus from a ₹15,000 Monthly SIP for 20 Years

  • Total Investment: ₹36,00,000
  • Estimated Capital Gains: ₹1,13,87,219
  • Estimated Corpus: ₹1,49,87,219

Although the investment amount is three times higher, the shorter tenure reduces the impact of compounding, leading to a lower corpus of ₹1.49 crore.

Why a Smaller SIP Over a Longer Tenure Wins

The comparison shows that a smaller SIP invested over a longer period can generate more wealth than a larger SIP for a shorter duration. This happens because:

  1. Compounding Effect: Longer investment periods provide more time for compounding to work.
  2. Lower Investment Burden: ₹5,000 per month is more manageable than ₹15,000, allowing consistent investing without financial strain.
  3. Time Overcomes Market Volatility: A longer tenure helps mitigate short-term market fluctuations, averaging out returns.

The funds raised will primarily be allocated towards repaying or prepaying outstanding borrowings, meeting working capital needs, and supporting general corporate activities. Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Limited and Axis Capital Limited have been appointed as the book-running lead managers for the issue.

Company Overview and Market Position

With over 30 years of experience, Atlanta Electricals has established itself as a key player in India’s transformer manufacturing industry. The company supplies transformers ranging from 5 MVA/11 kV to 200 MVA/220 kV and is among the few manufacturers in India capable of producing transformers up to 200 Mega Volt-Amp (MVA) capacity with 220 kilovolts voltage, as per a CRISIL report. With a pan-India presence, the company continues to expand its reach in the power sector.

Conclusion

Atlanta Electricals’ IPO marks a significant milestone in its growth trajectory, providing an opportunity for investors to participate in the company’s expansion. With strong industry experience and a well-defined utilisation plan for the IPO proceeds, the company aims to strengthen its financial position and market presence.
