During the year under review, the Company achieved a significant milestone with the inauguration of its third tower towards the end of Q2FY25. The facility will be operationalised in a phase- wise manner to meet growing patient demand driven by an expanding patient base. Operationally, the Company delivered its strongest performance to date, recording the highest- ever Average Revenue Per Occupied Bed (ARPOB) and strong EBITDA margins underscoring the benefits of scale, efficiency and a consistent focus on operational and financial excellence. The Company is strategically focusing on the consolidation and development of its asset-light centres, with an aim to drive them towards maturity and optimal efficiency.

To support its next growth phase, the Company has raised Rs. 330 Crores from International Finance Corporation (IFC) by issuing Compulsorily Convertible Debentures.

Furthering our strategic expansion, the Company has entered into a Long-Term Operations & Management and Medical Services Agreement for a 300+ bed super speciality hospital in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. This facility is expected to become operational in FY 2025-26 and will significantly enhance the Company's footprint in Central India.

Furthering our commitment to innovation in patient care, the Company has launched advanced technology-enabled physiotherapy services through a strategic partnership with Abhinav Bindra Targeting Performance (ABTP). This initiative is designed to deliver personalised, high-performance rehabilitation solutions, setting new benchmarks in physiotherapy and patient recovery outcomes. Additionally, we are replacing our Hospital Information System (HIS) with the latest technology in order to streamline workflows with real-time access to patient data, optimise data flow management, billing and analytics. Further, we have taken steps to improve the patient journey in the hospital and implemented a complaint and feedback mechanism. These initiatives will enhance operational efficiency, improve patient care, and support effective communication across all hospital functions.

The Company remains focused on driving sustainable growth through capacity expansion, enhanced clinical capabilities and continued brand consolidation. Concurrently, we are exploring the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across clinical and operational domains to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve treatment outcomes, boost efficiency and elevate patient engagement.
