The Aster DM Healthcare merger with Quality Care India Ltd (QCIL) is driving significant financial growth. Specifically, the company reported an 18% year-on-year revenue increase for Q4 FY26, reaching Rs 1,182 crore. Operating EBITDA rose 31% to Rs 253 crore. These results highlight a period of robust expansion and operational efficiency for the healthcare giant.
The consolidation process remains on schedule for completion by the first quarter of FY27. Consequently, the combined entity will operate over 10,600 beds across 28 Indian cities. This scale positions the group among the top three healthcare providers in the country. Furthermore, a pipeline of 4,400 additional beds will support future demand. Shareholders have shown overwhelming support, with 96.68% voting in favor of the vision. This confidence reflects the strategic value of creating an integrated healthcare platform.
Higher patient volumes and improved realisations primarily fueled growth during the quarter. For instance, the average revenue per inpatient (ARPOB) increased by 9% to Rs 1.25 lakh. Total patient volumes also grew by 15%. Regionally, the Kerala and Andhra Pradesh-Telangana clusters were the strongest performers. Moreover, the group's margin improved to 21.7% from 19.3% in the previous year. This improvement stems from strong cost discipline and operating leverage. Investors like Blackstone continue to back the merger as it moves through regulatory approvals.
