HYDERABAD/BENGALURU Aug 12 (Reuters) – India’s Apollo Hospitals Enterprise posted a bigger-than-expected 34% rise in quarterly profit on Wednesday, as strong demand for complex treatments supported growth in its core healthcare services business.
The Chennai-based hospital operator’s consolidated net profit rose to 5.81 billion Indian rupees ($60.95 million) in the quarter ended June 30, from 4.33 billion rupees a year earlier.
Analysts, on average, expected 5.62 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
