Consolidated revenue for Q1FY27 stood at ₹7,043 Crore, a 21 per cent growth at ₹5,842 Crore in Q1FY26.Healthcare revenue for Q1FY27 was at ₹3,567 Crore, a growth of 22 per cent YoY. Profitability grew at 25 per cent YoY and stood at ₹480 Crore. As on June 30, 2026, Apollo Hospitals had 8,352 operating beds across the network, excluding AHLL and managed beds, with overall occupancy at 70 per cent versus 65 per cent in Q1 FY26.The International Patient Services division continued to witness increasing traction with a YoY revenue growth of 26 per cent, the highest in recent quarters.Revenue growth was driven by robust volume increase in CONGO (Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, and Orthopedics) and other high complexity specialities.Room for Growth“We saw almost a 85 per cent YoY growth in soft tissue robotic surgeries this quarter; transplants too saw robust growth,” Dr Madhu Shashidhar, President and CEO, Hospital Division, Apollo Hospitals, told businessline. While we’ve had substantial volume growth, our occupancy is still at a healthy 70 per cent, which means that we still have room to grow further, he added.Apollo Health and Lifestyle (AHLL) revenue grew 15 per cent to end at ₹499 Crore, driven by performance of clinics and diagnostic centres. Net loss stood at ₹1 Crore vs a loss of ₹8 Crore in Q1FY26.Its omnichannel pharmacy distribution and digital health subsidiary Apollo HealthCo, saw YoY revenue growth of 20 per cent at ₹2,977 Crore with EBITDA margins of around 6 per cent in the quarter.“We have already secured the shareholder approval and expect to complete the demerger of Apollo HealthCo, and list the new separate entity by Q4FY27,” Krishnan Akhileshwaran, Group CFO, of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, said.“The steps to combine the business of Apollo Cradle with Cloudnine is still work in progress and will have more updates on this in the next quarter,” he added.New AdditionsThe company does not offer growth guidance but said it expects the momentum to continue in FY27. The company continues capacity growth momentum with the launch of 180 bed hospital in Sarjapur, Bengaluru , and the Gurugram facility remaining on track for commissioning in Q3FY27, it said in a statement. Apollo has now plans to add over 5800 total beds over the next 5 years.With regard to a recent Parliamentary Panel report recommending a 3-star cap on hospital room charges and surgery rates, Akhileswaran said that rigid across the board price controls could risk clinical judgment and quality, and noted that public and private health care must remain complementary. “It is just a report for now. Healthcare in India is still at a fraction of the global cost,” he added, noting that a 15-year IRR is around 10 per cent.Dr Shashidhar said that unlike many other sectors, healthcare is rapidly changing from year to year, and that involves constant recalibration of costs, and hence strict price controls may not be right.The Board, based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, also considered and approved the grant of additional stock options and RSUs aggregating to and representing a total of 46,798 equity shares of ₹5 each to the new employees of the company.Published on August 12, 2026
