- Emerging centers (Kolkata, Borivali and South Mumbai) grew strong at 33% YoY while established centers also grew healthy at 14% YoY. All emerging centers, but South Mumbai center, are profitable.
- We estimate that HCG could post a PAT of around INR 280cr+ by FY27. An investment in HCG at the current level has potential to provide an upside of 85%+.
