Metropolis diagnostic growth significantly influenced the company\'s latest financial results for the March quarter. On Wednesday, the lab chain reported a 74 per cent rise in consolidated profit after tax. This growth resulted in a profit of Rs 50.96 crore, up from Rs 29.23 crore in the previous fiscal year. Consequently, the company demonstrated strong resilience and operational efficiency in a competitive market.
Several factors contributed to this surge, including a 23 per cent increase in year-on-year revenue. The company expanded its network to over 5,000 centres across India to meet rising diagnostic needs. Furthermore, Managing Director Surendran Chemmenkotil noted that healthy patient volumes and improved realisations drove this success. Moreover, the brand achieved these results without increasing prices during the final quarter.
Total consolidated revenue reached Rs 424.68 crore, while expenses also rose to Rs 363.19 crore. However, the operational efficiency drive offset these higher costs effectively. Therefore, the board approved a second dividend of Re 1 per share for the financial year. This decision reflects a positive outlook on the company\'s future sustainability and market position.

The growth was primarily driven by robust demand, network expansion beyond 5,000 centres, healthy patient volumes, and an improved service mix without price hikes in Q4.

The board of Metropolis Healthcare has approved a second dividend of Re 1 per share for the 2025-26 financial year following its strong performance.
