The chain, which owns 45 hospitals across the country, is on track to add 1,400 beds starting in FY26 and hopes to operationalize them in the next two years.

The focus for the next three-four years will remain on increasing the company's presence in its core metro cities, the executives said.

"[In Q3 of FY25], we saw twice the volume for our high complexity care as opposed to our overall volume growth, which has driven up our ARPOB and has also aided us in our EBITDA expansion," Madhu Sasidhar, president and CEO of the hospitals division, told Mint.

Apollo reported an 8% year-on-year increase to ₹60,839 in its ARPOB, or average revenue per operating bed, in Q3.
