- Occupancy and Capacity: Blended occupancy is projected to reach approximately 56% (60% in mature clusters), recovering from a recent drop to 45% caused by the addition of 500 beds during the year.

- ARPOB Growth Trajectory: Average revenue per occupied bed (ARPOB) has reached around 60,000 and is guided to grow 5–6% alongside ARPP, supported by a higher mix of complex pediatric surgeries, ICUs, and obstetrics.
- Coimbatore Project Timeline: The opening of the Coimbatore hospital has been deferred to H2 FY28 due to the time required to obtain revised permissions for a larger facility.
- Fertility Business Strategy: Fertility services are expanding organically via Rainbow's established brand and maternity base (which accounts for roughly 30% of total business), with management open to aligned acquisition opportunities.
