Dr. Emmanuel Rupert, managing director and group CEO, Narayana Hrudayalaya, said, 'The current financial year demonstrated strong performance across our units, both domestic and international; we are pleased to report the highest-ever revenues and profitability margins on both a quarterly and an annual basis at the consolidated level.

The performance improvement in India units has been driven by domestic volume pickup, increased realizations, and optimization in payor categories. While our flagships continue to contribute significantly, our Southern Peripheral and North units have shown significant growth this year, and we hope to build on the momentum going forward.

The new hospital in Camana Bay is fully functional and is contributing meaningfully to the overall Cayman business. We are excited about the traction in the new hospital and are confident that the region will deliver strong growth going forward. The integrated care business is picking up well, with our new clinics garnering sizeable footfalls. We will continue to invest in this business and are optimistic that it will be a significant driver of growth for the overall NH ecosystem. We thank the investor community for their faith in us and remain confident of delivering on expectations for the upcoming year.'
