Our EBITDA for the quarter was Rs. 93.7 crore, reflecting a growth of 6.9% compared to Rs. 87.7 crore in Q1 FY24. Although our PAT for Q1 FY25 was Rs. 39.7 crore, a decrease of 4.2% from Rs. 41.5 crore in Q1 FY24, this is attributable to the initial costs associated with our new hospitals. We currently have 2000+ beds including the managed beds, with a right mix of matured and new beds. Our focus remains to drive occupancies and optimize operations across the group along with custromer delight. We are confident in our ability to drive growth in the upcoming quarters,” Dr. Ramesh Kancharla, Chairman & Managing Director of Rainbow Children’s Medicare Limited, said in a statement.
