Why Indian private hospitals may face growth slowdown in FY25

Private hospitals in India are expected to experience a slowdown in revenue growth in the fiscal year 2024-2025. Credit rating firm CRISIL predicts that revenue for private hospitals will grow by 11-12% in that fiscal year, compared to an estimated growth rate of 14% in the previous year. This adjustment is attributed to the post-pandemic cooldown period that the hospitals are currently going through.
