Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Hospital), it ranks 3 of 24 on returns, 11 of 23 on growth, 7 of 25 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
A wide advantage: it earns 22.6% on capital, ahead of 88% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹1566 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹968 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹444 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 188 arrived as cash — well above the profit, more than depreciation and interest account for, so do not count on it repeating. Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being paid 49 days before it paid its own suppliers to paid 58 days before it paid its own suppliers.
