Apollo Hospitals FY26 profit jumps 34% to Rs 1,942 crore on growth across core businesses

India’s leading hospital chain Apollo Hospitals reported 18% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue to Rs 6,605 crores for the fourth quarter ended March, while consolidated net profit grew 36% to Rs 529 crores, the company said in a press release post market hours on Wednesday.

For FY26, Apollo reported 16% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue to Rs 25,229 crores, while consolidated net profit grew 34% to Rs 1942 crore.

The robust performance was driven by growth across its core businesses including Healthcare Services, Diagnostics and Retail Health, and Digital and Pharmacy.

“Our expansion strategy continues to be guided by India’s long-term healthcare needs. During the year, we strengthened our footprint through new facility launches and continued progress on expansion projects across key cities,” said Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises.

“We remain deeply committed to improving access to high-quality healthcare in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. This is not only a strategic priority, but also a responsibility — to bring advanced healthcare closer to underserved communities while maintaining the highest standards of care,” said Reddy.

“Growth during the quarter was supported by improved performance in CONGO-T (case mix) specialties and growth

in high-complexity procedures including lung and heart surgeries,” said Krishnan Akhileswaran, Group Chief Financial Officer, told ET.

He said the aim is to add another 1500 operating beds in the next 12-18 months across key metros such as Hyderabad, Kolkata, among others. This will take the total operating beds to 10,000.

On the impact of West Asia crisis on foreign incoming patients, Akhileswaran said so far there has been no adverse impact on the inflow of patients.

Reddy said the proposed demerger of Apollo’s pharmacy and digital health businesses is a strategic step towards enabling sharper focus, accelerated growth, and long-term value creation.

The new entity is progressing towards a potential listing by Q4 FY27, he added.

The company said its expansion plans remain on track, with upcoming hospitals in Hyderabad, and Sonarpur, Kolkata. The group also launched four hospitals over the past six months.

Apollo’s Board has recommended a final dividend of Rs 10 per equity share for FY26.

Healthcare services revenue for FY26 stood at Rs 12,555 crores, up 13% YoY, while healthcare net profit was up 14% at Rs 1,628 crores.

As on March 31, Apollo Hospitals had 8,131 operating beds across the network (excluding AHLL and managed beds). The overall occupancy for hospitals was at 68% in Q4FY26 vs 67% in the same period in the previous year.
