Performance Overview and Key Updates

Revenue growth in Q2 and H1 FY26 was driven by the addition of new centres and scale-up of existing locations. Mature centres entering full-period revenue contributed to higher utilisation and operating leverage, supporting margin stability.

A stronger mix of enterprise clients and premium add-ons—including managed IT, dedicated bays and meeting suites—boosted realisation per seat. With healthy occupancy, revenue per sq. ft. improved and EBITDA margins strengthened as fit-outs ramped.

DevX Ahmedabad, India’s largest managed office campus in a Tier-2 city, achieved 95 per cent occupancy even before commencing full operations. The 3.15-lakh sq. ft. centre is expected to add Rs 25 million in monthly revenue and around 3,990 seats, improving ROCE and profitability due to higher-rent enterprise clients and long-tenure contracts.

The company continues to benefit from India’s rising demand for flexible workspaces, particularly in Bharat markets where enterprise adoption is accelerating. This includes robust traction from mid-to-large enterprises and GCCs expanding into Tier-2 locations.

Dev Accelerator also utilised its IPO proceeds to refinance borrowings. Long-term debt reduced from Rs 988.94 million in FY25 to Rs 876.7 million in H1 FY26, while interest costs declined to Rs 111.27 million, improving overall financial efficiency.

With a strong pipeline, improving scale economics, and rising enterprise demand, Dev Accelerator remains well positioned for sustained, margin-accretive growth across Tier-2 India.
