Suprita Reddy, MD & CEO said, 'Vijaya reported another strong financial quarter, achieving a YOY growth of 20.4%, with our Hyderabad market's contribution returning to double-digit growth this quarter. The strong performance was largely driven by volume and change in the test mix. I'm happy to state that all the new hubs in Pune, Bengaluru, and West Bengal are up and running, with steady footfall. We remain optimistic about achieving break-even across all centres within the 12 months with 1 hub centre in Bengaluru on track to reach break-even earlier than the estimated timeline. I'm also pleased to share that our Nizamabad hub centre has achieved break-even within 2 quarters of its full-fledged operations. Looking ahead, we would be commissioning 3 hubs in Q2 FY26 across our Core Geography and West Bengal. The other 2 hubs in West Bengal are also on track to be operationalized in 2nd half of FY26.'
