Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.
Management attributed the dip to local tribal elections restricting movement, not a structural issue, and said the hospital is improving.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Rucheeta: Why is Agartala occupancy not improving despite confidence, and what is causing the dip?
p. 6
“Last quarter, there was a certain amount of dip in the occupancy level, and that was purely on account of the local elections in that area.”
Anurag Tantia, page 6 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said there has been no tariff increase and the ARPOB rise is from a shift toward higher-end tertiary care case mix.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Abhishek Maheshwari: Is the ARPOB increase in Agartala and Howrah due to price hikes or case mix change?
p. 7
“We have not had any tariff increase in any of our hospitals. Our tariff increase generally happens in the month of October. This is probably an effect of incremental change in case mix.”

Management said their Kolkata hospitals do not need government patients given lower ARPOB and payment delays, but would consider it if required.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Anuj Kashyap: Given the change in West Bengal governance, will the company pursue more government-scheme patients?
p. 8
“Even now, we don't really see a need to change our strategy and focus on these patients because they come with a delay in payments and lower ARPOB numbers for sure.”

Management said Dumdum's dip was seasonal, not an actual drop, while Agartala's was due to reduced average length of stay and election-related movement restrictions.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Pranay Shah: What explains the occupancy drop in Dumdum and Agartala?
p. 10
“So, there has been no drop in occupancy in Dumdum hospital. The drop in Agartala occupancy is a factor of 2 things.”
Anurag Tantia, page 10 of the filed PDF · View the filing
Management said the decline was due to taking limited Ayushman Bharat patients at lower ARPOB while spare capacity exists, and expects ARPOB to stabilize or rise.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Varth Sanghavi: Why did Raipur ARPOB decline quarter-on-quarter?
p. 11

Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Rucheeta: Can EBITDA reach a run rate of Rs 110-120 crore annually given rising ARPOB and occupancy?
p. 13

Management said most of the ARPOB increase comes from specialty and case mix change, with tariff hikes contributing only a small part.
Answered by Anurag Tantia
Asked by Soumya Raghuvanshi: Is Salt Lake's ARPOB growth mainly from specialty mix or tariff revisions?
p. 14
“Bulk of the -- or almost, I would say, 50% to 60% of the ARPOB increase comes from an improved specialty mix and change in case mix.”
