Revenue guidance

Category 2

→Mature clusters like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are expected to grow IP volumes at a moderate 5%-6% annually, with Telangana seeing acceleration from new hospital openings like Kondapur and Gachibowli expansions.
→New facilities in Bangalore, Thane, and Nashik are in ramp-up stages; Bangalore's hospitals aim to reach EBITDA breakeven by ~30%-40% occupancy within 12 months of commissioning.
→Maharashtra and other micro-markets (Karnataka, Kerala) show strong long-term growth potential with good traction from doctors and unmet demand in Tier 2/3 cities.
→Oncology and other specialty offerings are being expanded to improve case mix and ARPOB, especially in newer and Andhra clusters.
→ARPOB growth of around 4%-5% annually is expected overall, with higher ARPOB in new markets raising blended ARPOB to approximately INR 50,000–55,000 in the coming years.
→Capacity utilization and bed additions will drive volume increase, although new capacity commissioning will take 4-5 years to reach 70% occupancy levels.
