Krsnaa cuts Rajasthan PPP target by half, to ₹100-150 cr for FY27
The public-private partnership rollout is behind schedule, forcing a sharp downward revision to a growth pillar the company had been selling.
— 6 earlier stories on Krsnaa Diagnostics Ltd. →What's new
- Rajasthan PPP revenue guidance for FY27 cut to ₹100-150 cr from a prior aspiration of ₹200-250 cr.
- The rollout of 27 mother labs and 800 collection centres is now expected to complete only by Q2.
- Retail diagnostics revenue jumped 6x to ₹60 cr, while DSO improved to 139 days from 155 days in Q3.
Why this matters
The Rajasthan PPP was a core growth catalyst Krsnaa has been pitching. Halving the target signals execution is significantly slower than promised. The retail segment is scaling, but not fast enough to mask the shortfall.
What we're watching
- Whether the Q2 completion deadline for the Rajasthan rollout holds.
- If retail can sustain 6x growth after the initial scale-up.
- DSO trending toward the sub-120-day target in FY27.
The full read
Krsnaa Diagnostics has halved its revenue aspiration for the Rajasthan PPP project. Management now expects the state business to generate ₹100-150 crore in FY27, down from a prior target of ₹200-250 crore. The reason is a delayed rollout. The 27 mother labs and 800 collection centres will not be fully operational until the second quarter. This was a key growth catalyst the company had been pitching to the market. The retail segment is scaling fast, jumping 6x to ₹60 crore, but it is still just 8% of total revenue. For the full year, the company posted ₹7,728 million in revenue and 28% EBITDA margins. Q4 PAT surged 101% year-on-year to ₹417 million. The balance sheet is improving too, with DSO contracting to 139 days from 155 days in Q3. Not fast enough. The open question is whether retail growth can offset the Rajasthan delay.
