Revenue in the GCC increased 10 per cent over last year while strong growth momentum in India continued, with revenues growing 18 per cent over Q1 FY 22. Adjusting for contribution from COVID testing last year, GCC revenues grew 18 per cent. In India revenues grew 26 per cent when adjusting for COVID related vaccinations. This clearly indicates growth of business activity across both geographies. During Q1, we started operations management of the 140-bed Aster Mother Hospital in Areekode in Kerala, kick starting our planned brown field, low capex initiatives which give a much better ROI and improve our efficiencies. We are looking at more such opportunities in various parts of India. We have submitted plans for the proposed integrated advanced healthcare facility at Trivandrum, capital of Kerala named as Aster Capital Hospital. The hospital is planned to be a 550-bed facility with the first phase having a capacity of 350 beds expected to be operational by FY 26.”
