East region facing government scheme migration from state to national scheme. Government mix (~14% of institutional revenue) may impact collections. Management acknowledged discussions with authorities ongoing but no clarity on timeline or impact quantification.
Two greenfield hospitals in Bangalore (Kannapura, Alanka) causing ~5% network doctor cost impact. Kannapura broke even at month 5, Alanka at month 2—both ahead of plan at 13% EBITDA margin but still below network average.
Q1 collections from scheme patients slower across sector, impacting cash flow timing. Management expects improvement as year progresses through collection cycles. Not quantified.
