What could break the thesis?
The Manesar facility is showing strong recovery. It is currently at 40% occupancy with only 90 beds commissioned; management expects to reach breakeven even before hitting 50% occupancy, which is targeted by year-end. (1 easing)
“Regarding Manesar... The exit should be at least 50%-plus occupancy. I think so. Even before that, we should expect a breakeven.”
The risk is stable as the company has formalized a massive expansion plan of ~2,000 beds through FY29. While the Manesar facility is operationalizing (38% occupancy on 77 beds), the acquisition of Shrimann Hospital adds 270-450 beds to the execution pipeline. (2 stable, 1 intensifying)
“Planned capacity addition of ~2000 beds* from FY26 to FY29... ramp up of operational beds will be done as per the business growth and occupancy trends”
