Medicover India Aims for Full Profitability Within 18 Months After KKR Acquisition
Medicover India expects all 25 hospitals in its network to become profitable within 12 to 18 months, driven by rising occupancy and demand for specialized care. Currently, 19 hospitals are profitable, with newer facilities ramping up. The hospital chain aims to increase EBITDA margins from around 14% to 20-25% as occupancy grows. Global investment firm KKR is acquiring Medicover's India business for $1.2 billion, with funds supporting expansion and debt repayment, pending regulatory approvals.
