"Q2 FY21 diagnostics business gross revenues at Rs 282.4 crore, versus Rs 276.6 crore in Q2 FY20," it added.

Fortis Healthcare MD and CEO Ashutosh Raghuvanshi said, "We are quite encouraged by the pick up in business momentum as reflected in the results for Q2FY21."
Given the improvement in business the company has re-initiated its growth and expansion plans, he added.
"I am hopeful that as we move forward the pandemic will continue to recede and allow the business to return to complete normalization by the start of the next fiscal," Raghuvanshi said.
