Risk factors
Specific attention of the investors is invited to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 43. Investors are advised to read
the risk factors carefully before taking an investment decision in the Offer. The following is a summary of top ten
risk factors in relation to our Company:
1. We derive a portion of our revenue from operations from our captive clinics within private hospital premises
that accounted for 43.30%, 51.96% and 62.23% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
222023, respectively. If our contracts for operating captive clinics are cancelled or if we are unable to renew
or retain similar revenue and operational arrangements, our business may be materially and adversely
affected.
2. We operate a number of our dialysis clinics under public private partnership (“PPP”) contracts awarded by
government agencies through a competitive bidding process. Such contracts accounted for 32.62%, 29.24%
and 22.39% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There can be no
assurance that we will qualify for, or that we will successfully compete and win such tenders, which could
have an adverse impact on our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
3. We are subject to various operational, reputational, medical and legal risks associated with the operations of
our dialysis services. Failure to establish and comply with appropriate quality standards when performing
dialysis services could result in litigation and liability for us and could materially and adversely affect our
reputation and results of operations.
4. We are dependent on healthcare professionals and our business will be impacted significantly if we are
unable to attract or retain such professionals.
5. We may face continuing challenges in further expanding our operations in cities we currently operate in or
in other cities internationally that we strategically intend to commence operations, which could have an
adverse effect on our business prospects and future financial performance.
6. Business interruption at our dialysis clinics, either standalone, captive or PPP clinics, could result in
significant losses and reputational damage to our business.
7. The prices that we can charge for our dialysis services are dependent on recommended or mandatory fees
fixed under the terms of the agreements entered into with public and private healthcare providers.
8. Compliance with applicable safety, health and environmental regulations may be costly and adversely affect
our competitive position and results of operations. Regulatory reforms in the healthcare industry in general
and associated uncertainty may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
9. We have in the past and may in future continue to engage in acquisitions for inorganic growth. Our inability
to successfully identify, acquire and integrate suitable opportunities on commercially reasonable terms in
the future could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
10. We may experience delays in construction, development and completion in setting up our new clinics in
India, including obtaining the relevant certificates and approvals, as well as equipment and financing
required for our business operations. Additionally, our new clinics may not achieve the projected volumes
and other benefits we expect from such new clinics.
Summary of contingent liabilities
The following is a summary table of our contingent liabilities as on March 31, 2025, as indicated in our Restated
Consolidated Financial Information:
(in ₹ million)
Particulars As at March 31, 2025
Claims (other matters) against our Company not recognised as debts* N.A.
Total N.A.
*During the Financial Year 2016-2017, a competitor of our Company has disputed the grant of rights to operate and manage dialysis centres
at certain government owned hospitals to our Company. The said cases are pending before authorities. In view of the management, the grant
of such operating rights to our Company is in accordance with the terms of Request for Proposal (RFP) floated by the respective government
department/agencies. Hence, the management is confident of a favourable outcome in these disputes. The management is of the opinion that
there will not be any financial implication of these disputes on our Company and hence no adjustments have been made in the Restated
Consolidated Financial Information.
For further details, see “Risk Factors – We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may
continue to do so in the future, which may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the equity shareholders.”

references in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus to a particular Financial Year or FY or Fiscal, unless stated
38otherwise, are to the 12-month period ended on March 31 of that particular calendar year.
Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the financial data and financial ratios in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus are derived from the Restated Consolidated Financial Information of our Company.
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus under “Restated
Consolidated Financial Information” beginning on page 377 have been prepared basis the the restated
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the
restated consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), the restated
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the restated consolidated cash flow statement for the years ended
March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the material accounting policies, and other explanatory
information relating to such financial years, prepared in accordance with Ind AS and restated in accordance with
Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the
Guidance Note on Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019) issued by the ICAI. The audited financial
statements for the financial years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 have been audited by our Statutory
Auditors. The audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 have been audited by the Previous
Auditors. For further information, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information” beginning on page 377.
There are significant differences between Ind AS, the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the
International Accounting Standard Board (the “IFRS”) and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the
United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”). Our Company does not provide reconciliation of its financial
information to IFRS or U.S. GAAP. We have not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact
on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Prospective investors should consult their
own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those
with which they may be more familiar, and the impact of such differences on our financial data. The degree to
which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices,
Ind AS, the Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with these
accounting principles and regulations on our financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
should accordingly be limited. Also see “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other
accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may
consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.” on page 95.
Unless the context otherwise requires, any percentage or amounts, as set out in “Summary of the Offer
Document”, “Risk Factors”, “Basis for Offer Price”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 18, 43, 176, 269 and 451,
respectively and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of our Restated
Consolidated Financial Information unless otherwise stated.
Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Financial Measures
Certain measures included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, for instance EBITDA (excluding other income),
EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), Net Debt, Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other
income), Net cash flow generated from operating activities / EBITDA (excluding other income), Return on
Adjusted Capital Employed (%), Return on Equity (%), Net Worth, Return on Net Worth (%) and Net Asset Value
per Equity Share (the “Non-GAAP Measures”), presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are supplemental
measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS,
U.S. GAAP or any other generally accepted accounting principles. These Non-GAAP Measures and other
statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance should not be considered in
isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit or (loss) for the years or any other measure of financial
performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by
operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP
or any other generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical
and other information relating to operations and financial performance, are not standardised terms and may not
be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore, may
not be comparable to financial measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other
companies and are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Further, they may have limited utility as a
comparative measure. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position
and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” and “Risk Factors – Significant differences exist between
39Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which investors may be more familiar
with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.” on pages 455 and 95, respectively.
Industry and Market Data
Industry publications generally state that the information contained in such publications has been obtained from
publicly available documents from various sources. The data used in these sources may have been re-classified
by us for the purposes of presentation. Data from these sources may also not be comparable. Accordingly, no
investment decision should be made solely on the basis of such information. The extent to which industry and
market data set forth in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful depends on the reader’s familiarity with
and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no standard data gathering
methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and assumptions may vary
widely among different industry sources. Such data involves risks, uncertainties and numerous assumptions and
is subject to change based on various factors, including those disclosed in “Risk Factors – Certain sections of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the F&S Report which is a paid report and
commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information
for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.” on page 81.
Only to the extent explicitly indicated, industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is
derived from the report titled, “Independent Market Research (IMR) on Dialysis Services Market in Select
Countries” dated July 2025 (“F&S Report”) commissioned by and paid for by our Company, pursuant to an
engagement letter dated March 19, 2025 (“Letter”). The F&S Report has been prepared and issued by F&S for
the purpose of understanding the industry exclusively in connection with the Offer. Further, F&S, pursuant to
their consent letter dated July 24, 2025 has accorded their no objection and consent to use the F&S Report. F&S,
pursuant to their Letter has also confirmed that they are an independent agency, and confirmed that it is not related
to our Company, our Directors, our Promoters, our Key Managerial Personnel, our Senior Management or the
BRLMs. The F&S Report is available on the website of our Company at https://nephroplus.com/investors.
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the section “Basis for Offer Price” beginning on page 176
includes information relating to our peer group companies, which has been derived from publicly available
sources, and accordingly, no investment decision should be made solely on the basis of such information.
40FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our
expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are forward looking
statements, which include statements with respect to our business strategy, our revenue and profitability, our goals
and other matters discussed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “believe”,
“expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “seek to”, “strive to”, “continue”, “achieve”, or other words or
phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives or goals are also forward-
looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, expectations and
assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant
forward-looking statement. All statements in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical
fact are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. This could be due to risks or
uncertainties associated with expectations relating to, and including, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry
in India in which we operate and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy,
growth and expansion plans, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political
conditions in India which have an impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies
of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or
other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws,
changes in the incidence of any natural calamities and/or violence, regulations and taxes and changes in
competition in the industry in which we operate. Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. We derive a portion of our revenue from operations from our captive clinics within private hospital premises
that accounted for 43.30%, 51.96% and 62.23% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, respectively. If our contracts for operating captive clinics are cancelled or if we are unable to renew
or retain similar revenue and operational arrangements, our business may be materially and adversely
affected.
2. We operate a number of our dialysis clinics under public private partnership (“PPP”) contracts awarded by
government agencies through a competitive bidding process. Such contracts accounted for 32.62%, 29.24%
and 22.39% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There can be no
assurance that we will qualify for, or that we will successfully compete and win such tenders, which could
have an adverse impact on our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
3. We are subject to various operational, reputational, medical and legal risks associated with the operations of
our dialysis services. Failure to establish and comply with appropriate quality standards when performing
dialysis services could result in litigation and liability for us and could materially and adversely affect our
reputation and results of operations.
4. We are dependent on healthcare professionals and our business will be impacted significantly if we are
unable to attract or retain such professionals.
5. We may face continuing challenges in further expanding our operations in cities we currently operate in or
in other cities internationally that we strategically intend to commence operations, which could have an
adverse effect on our business prospects and future financial performance.
6. Business interruption at our dialysis clinics, either standalone, captive or PPP clinics, could result in
significant losses and reputational damage to our business.
7. The prices that we can charge for our dialysis services are dependent on recommended or mandatory fees
fixed under the terms of the agreements entered into with public and private healthcare providers.
8. Compliance with applicable safety, health and environmental regulations may be costly and adversely affect
our competitive position and results of operations. Regulatory reforms in the healthcare industry in general
and associated uncertainty may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
419. We have in the past and may in future continue to engage in acquisitions for inorganic growth. Our inability
to successfully identify, acquire and integrate suitable opportunities on commercially reasonable terms in
the future could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
10. We may experience delays in construction, development and completion in setting up our new clinics in
India, including obtaining the relevant certificates and approvals, as well as equipment and financing
required for our business operations. Additionally, our new clinics may not achieve the projected volumes
and other benefits we expect from such new clinics.
For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on
pages 43, 269, and 451, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could
be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or losses could materially
differ from those that have been estimated.
There can be no assurance to Bidders that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will
prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, Bidders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect current views as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are not
a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions,
which in turn are based on currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which
these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate
and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our Company, our
Directors, each of the Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation
to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with requirements of SEBI and as prescribed under applicable law, our Company will ensure that
investors in India are informed of material developments pertaining to our Company and the Equity Shares
forming part of the Offer from the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment. In
accordance with the requirements of SEBI and as prescribed under the applicable law, our Selling Shareholders,
severally and not jointly, shall ensure (through our Company and the BRLMs) that the Bidders in India are
informed of material developments solely to the extent of statements expressly and specifically confirmed or
undertaken by them in the Red Herring Prospectus and the Prospectus until the date of Allotment, with respect to
their respective Offered Shares pursuant to the Offer. Further, only statements and undertakings which are
specifically confirmed or undertaken by the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus shall, severally and not jointly, be deemed to be statements and undertakings made by such Selling
Shareholder.
42SECTION II: RISK FACTORS
An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before
making an investment in the Equity Shares. We have described the risks and uncertainties that we believe are
material, but these risks and uncertainties may not be the only risks relevant to us, the Equity Shares, or the
industry in which we currently operate or propose to operate in. The risks set out in this section may not be
exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem
material, may arise or may become material in the future and may also adversely affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are
not currently known or are not currently deemed material, actually occur, our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected, the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and
investors may lose all or part of their investment. In order to obtain a complete understanding of our Company
and our business, prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with “Our Business”, “Industry
Overview”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and
“Financial Information” on pages 269, 214, 451 and 377, respectively, as well as the other financial and
statistical information contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In making an investment decision,
prospective investors must rely on their own examination of us and our business and the terms of the Offer

Internal Risks
1. We derive a portion of our revenue from operations from our captive clinics within private hospital
premises that accounted for 43.30%, 51.96% and 62.23% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023, respectively. If our contracts for operating captive clinics are cancelled or if we are unable
to renew or retain similar revenue and operational arrangements, our business may be materially and
adversely affected.
43Over the last few years, a portion of our revenue from operations has been generated from our captive clinic
business model. Pursuant to our captive clinic business model, we operate certain of our dialysis clinics within
the premises of private hospitals. As of March 31, 2025, we operated 447 clinics in India and 43 clinics outside
India out of which we operate a total of 250 clinics in India and five clinics outside India within the premises of
private hospitals.
The table below sets forth details of our revenues from our clinics both in India and outside India, located within
these private hospitals for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Revenue from clinics 3,272.44 2,941.90 2,721.23
located within private
hospitals (₹ million)
Revenue from clinics 43.30% 51.96% 62.23%
located within private
hospitals as a percentage of
total revenue from
operations (%)
The typical term of such contracts ranges from seven years to 15 years. These agreements are not always subject
to an automatic extension, and renewal of such agreements is based on mutually acceptable terms. In addition,
certain of these agreements are subject to lock-in requirements and may not be terminated by our Company except
in cases of material default. Further, certain of our contracts may/will come up for renewal from time to time and
there are risks associated with renewal including aggressive competition, reduction in margins due to higher
commercials and other demands from partner hospitals. While we may choose to not renew such contracts that
may adversely impact our future revenues or move our volume to a nearby clinic of ours or to a new clinic
altogether, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely impacted due to such decisions in the future. In the
last three fiscals, we have had one instance in Fiscal 2025 and three instances in Fiscal 2024 where the partner
hospitals decided to operate their own in-house dialysis clinics resulting in non-renewal of contracts. Further,
there have been instances in the past three fiscals, wherein at the end of the contract period, our contract was not
renewed by the partner hospital or our contract was terminated prior to the end of the contract period. Although
we typically have a right of first refusal to offer to operate particular standalone units under the terms of our
contracts, we cannot assure you that we will not face instances of non-renewal of contracts by our partner hospitals
in the future and, non-renewal of such contracts may have a significant impact on our revenues. For instance, we
lost a captive contract to competition due to commercial reasons in Fiscal 2026 in Delhi, and we cannot assure
you that we will not face any such instances in the future.
Due to a portion of our business coming from our captive business model, growth of our captive clinics is tied to
the growth of our partner hospitals and any decline in the business of the partner hospital due to any reasons
whatsoever (including medical/legal factors, negative publicity, general decline, amongst others) could have an
impact on the flow of patients to our captive clinics. In addition, we are dependent on the partner hospitals for
provision of services including space and utilities including, among others, electricity and water, and issues from
the hospitals’ end in providing these could cause an interruption in our business. The profitability of our clinics
also depends on partner hospitals providing additional services such as rent-free space for reverse osmosis water
plants, laundry, outpatient billing, biomedical waste management, and other services as outlined in our contracts.
Non-compliance and violation of safety and health laws and regulations by partner hospitals may also lead to
significant liabilities for us and loss of revenue by the hospital can lead to increase in costs for our Company.
Damage to partner hospital brand and/or reputation may affect our reputation and consequently our revenue from
operations from those specific clinics. Further, in the event any of our partner hospitals wind up their operations
or are shut down, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. While we
have not had such instances in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we will not be impacted adversely
in the future.
Further, if our relationship with such partner hospitals were to deteriorate or if we are unable to fulfil our
contractual obligations, our contracts may be terminated and these entities may contract with other providers.
Further, we are, from time to time, party to arbitration or litigation proceedings with our partner hospitals pursuant
to any dispute over the terms of such contracts. For details, see “Outstanding Litigations and Material
Developments” on page 484. While we have not encountered instances in the last three Fiscals of non-compliance
with the terms of agreements with such hospitals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the
future.
442. We operate a number of our dialysis clinics under public private partnership (“PPP”) contracts awarded
by government agencies through a competitive bidding process. Such contracts accounted for 32.62%,
29.24% and 22.39% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There
can be no assurance that we will qualify for, or that we will successfully compete and win such tenders,
which could have an adverse impact on our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
As of March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we operated 112, 34 and 21 dialysis clinics, respectively under PPP
contracts in India across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttarakhand. Such PPP contracts were awarded
by government agencies through a competitive bidding process. We operate the above-mentioned clinics under
five individual PPP contracts, two in Andhra Pradesh and one each in Karnataka, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.
Further we operate four dialysis clinics in Uzbekistan, which we won pursuant to a PPP tender issued by the
Ministry of Health, Republic of Uzbekistan.
The table below sets forth the number of contracts awarded against the number of bids made by us for the years
indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Number of bids made Nil 6 4
Number of contracts Nil 5 2
awarded pursuant to bids
The table below sets forth details of our revenues from PPP contracts for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Revenue from PPP 2,465.63 1,655.57 979.27
contracts (₹ million)
Revenue from PPP 32.62% 29.24% 22.39%
contracts as a percentage of
total revenue from
operations (%)
Tenders are awarded based on our ability to meet prescribed qualification criteria followed by a competitive
bidding process. While service quality, technological capacity and performance, health and safety records and
number of personnel, as well as reputation, relevant experience and adequate financial resources are typically
important considerations in awarding contracts for such tenders, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
meet applicable qualification criteria in the future. Prospective bidders that meet the qualification requirements of
the tender are then required to provide financial bids and a tender is usually awarded based on such financial bids.
We spend considerable time and resources in the preparation and submission of bids and there can be no assurance
that we will be able to bid for tenders, even where we have been prequalified, or that our bids will be successful.
Further, we may refrain from bidding for tenders due to unviable pricing or if the tender pertains to a country
where we lack presence or strategic focus. In addition, such tender process may be subject to changes in
qualification criteria, unexpected delays and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that the tenders for which
we bid will be tendered within a reasonable time, or at all. In the event that new tenders which have been
announced and which we plan to bid for are not put up for tender within the announced timeframe, or qualification
criteria are modified such that we are unable to qualify, our future growth prospects may be adversely affected.
Other risks associated with the competitive bidding process include compliance with strict regulatory
requirements that may increase our compliance costs. Government tenders are typically awarded to the lowest
bidder that meets the technical conditions of the tender, which makes winning tenders difficult. In addition,
lowering our pricing in order to win tenders could adversely affect our margins; the tender process is long and
may be subject to significant delays; terms and conditions of contracts, including requests for proposals and
tenders, tend to be more onerous and are often more difficult to negotiate than those for other commercial
agreements; and contracts with public health agencies may not include a limit on direct or consequential damages,
which could result in our assuming additional risks and incur additional expenses in servicing these contracts.
There have been two instances in the last three Fiscals, in 2024 in Odisha and in 2023 in Tripura, where we lost a
PPP bid to competition due to commercial reasons, and we cannot assure you that we will not face any such
instances in the future.
45The growth of our business is directly and significantly dependent on our ability to win new projects, and our
future cash flows can fluctuate materially depending on the timing of contract awards. Further, all our ongoing
projects have been awarded to us for a definite term and the relevant authorities may float tenders for such projects
following the expiry of the current term. There is no assurance that we will be awarded such projects at the end
of the tender process or be successful in renewing our current projects on terms that are favourable to us.
There have been four instances where our individual PPP tenders were not renewed, and we cannot assure you
that in the future we will not face further instances of non-renewal. Further, in Uttarakhand in 2024, Andhra
Pradesh in 2023 and 2022 and Tirupati in 2024 while our tender was not automatically renewed, we however,
again won the tender through bidding process. The nature of our business in the PPP sector also means that we
are exposed to the risk of cancellation of the contract and subsequent blacklisting by public health agencies in
case we fail to provide our services effectively, which would adversely affect our ability to obtain additional
public private partnership tenders in the future. For instance, in 2014, our Company was debarred from
participating in a government tender for a year by the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, due
to the fact that our consortium partner withdrew from the project after we received notice of award for that project.
In case we get blacklisted from participating in any future tenders issued by government entities, it could
materially impact our future growth prospects.
Further, any change in the state or central level policies may lead to change in conditions of the tenders, lowering
of dialysis reimbursement price, delay in tendering process or may also result in cancellation of awarded tenders
and other unforeseen issues. While we have not experienced any such instances in the past, we cannot assure that
this will not happen in the future. Further, under our PPP arrangements, contracts are subject to strict regulatory,
operational, and performance requirements, including service delivery standards, reporting obligations, and
timelines for infrastructure and equipment deployment. Any failure to comply with the terms of these PPP model
contracts, whether due to operational delays, staffing shortages, or administrative lapses could result in penalties,
suspension of payments, or even early termination of the agreements. While we have not faced any such instances
in the past three Fiscals, there can be no assurance that we will not face challenges that could adversely affect our
service continuity, reputation, or financial performance.
3. We are subject to various operational, reputational, medical and legal risks associated with the operations
of our dialysis services. Failure to establish and comply with appropriate quality standards when
performing dialysis services could result in litigation and liability for us and could materially and
adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
Operating in the healthcare industry in general entails several operational, reputational, medical and legal risks.
Healthcare quality including the quality of dialysis is measured by factors, some which are beyond our control,
such as quality of medical care, other co-morbidities of the patient, nephrologist expertise, friendliness of staff,
ease of access to personnel, and the overall inpatient and outpatient experience with us. This also includes
continuously upgrading our infrastructure, and providing sophisticated and comprehensive dialysis offerings
based on medical advancements, demands and needs. Generally, the maximum number of treatments that can be
provided per day by a dialysis machine at our clinics is three treatments. Our dialysis clinics have a certain
limitation on space that we occupy which determines our overall capacity and number of treatments per day. Due
to this limitation we may in the future not be able to increase the capacity to serve more patients even when
demand exists, which may have an adverse impact on our growth prospects at that clinic.
We may be exposed to heightened risks of legal claims and regulatory actions arising out of the services we
provide and any alleged non-compliance with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations. The healthcare
industry is subject to stringent laws, rules and regulations, and compliance with, may require substantial cost and
management attention. In addition, there are ongoing and proposed reforms in the healthcare industry in India,
and we are subject to the uncertainty associated with such development. For further information, please see “Key
Regulations and Policies in India” on page 306. Similarly, in the Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal, if there are
any changes to regulations, it could adversely affect our business.
Inaccuracies or negligence by healthcare professionals performing dialysis could lead to adverse reactions in
patients. While there have not been any instances of such inaccuracies or negligence in the past three Fiscals, that
resulted in material liabilities, any such instances in the future may lead to illness, cross-infections, harm, death
or other adverse effects or liabilities, which could in turn subject us to malpractice claims from patients. We have
in place an indemnity to cover for medical negligence. In addition, there could be tampering of the dialysis
machine and other equipment which could lead to infections, cross-infections, death/mortality, adverse events or
other issues which could subject us to malpractice claims from patients. We are responsible for meeting standards
46and complying with regulations of Indian regulatory bodies and also foreign legislations and are more susceptible
to being adversely affected from foreign regulations due to limited experience in a new geography. Further, we
are also generally exposed to liabilities relating to our employees’ contact with hazardous needles and waste.
Payments related to such liabilities may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
While as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have any complaints against us, we may be
subject to complaints from our patients, or be involved in litigation alleging, among other things, medical
negligence by our doctors, clinicians and other healthcare professionals.
Complaints may be filed against our doctors and other officers and show cause notices may be issued, or inquiries
may be initiated by regulatory or adjudicating authorities with respect to the dialysis services provided to our
patients. In addition, we may be held liable for the medical negligence of our healthcare professionals. An adverse
outcome in such proceedings could lead to the suspension or removal of our doctors, nephrologist that we enter
contract with, dialysis technicians, or nurses from the register of medical practitioners, or have financial
consequences and/or expose criminal or other liability. Further, claims and litigation against us by either patients
or employees may not only result in liability for the harm caused but also result in negative publicity. We may
also be subject to termination of arrangements with our partner hospitals in the event of any alleged negligence or
deficiency in services.
Furthermore, we could also be the subject of complaints from patients who are dissatisfied with the quality of
healthcare services we offer, suffer cross-infection due to contamination or damaged consumables, exposing us
to legal proceedings. Dialysis services is based on repeat cycles, hence such complaints could impact our revenue
from operations. Further, while as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we do not have any inquiries
or investigations initiated against us by regulatory or adjudicating authorities, we may also be subject to inquiries
or investigations that may be initiated by regulatory or adjudicating authorities with respect to dialysis services
provided to our patients. Results of these inquiries, investigations, claims and legal proceedings cannot be
predicted, and it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal claims and regulatory actions, individually
or in the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on our business both in the near and long term, financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
For details of our ongoing legal proceedings, see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page
484.
4. We are dependent on healthcare professionals and our business will be impacted significantly if we are
unable to attract or retain such professionals.
Our performance and growth strategy depends substantially on our ability to attract and retain experienced
healthcare professionals. The demand for healthcare professionals is competitive and their availability is limited
due to the significant training period involved. We compete with other healthcare providers, including public and
private hospitals and home health care service providers, to attract and retain healthcare professionals. The key
factors affecting their choice of employer include compensation, professional growth, the reputation of the
healthcare provider, the quality of the medical infrastructure and facilities, the ability to attract patients, research
and teaching opportunities. We may not compare favourably with our competitors on one or more of these factors.
Although we are largely dependent on our own healthcare professionals, we also engage nephrologists, medical
consultants and other healthcare professionals who are not our employees but are engaged under various
agreements including medical director agreements and independent consultant agreements. They work only on a
consultant basis and are engaged in private practice in other hospitals or clinics. In PPP clinics, nephrologists are
typically engaged on a revenue-sharing basis, wherein they are compensated as a percentage of the clinic’s
earnings. Their engagement is generally for a term ranging from two to five years, reflecting the contractual and
service-linked nature of these government-funded clinics. In our captive clinic business model, nephrologists are
generally engaged through revenue share arrangements for a term ranging from two to 10 years, either (i) directly
with partner hospitals where the nephrologist is retained by the hospital and works alongside us; or (ii) as
consultants to our Company, where we compensate them based on revenue and involvement. Although we have
entered into such agreements, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be prematurely terminated.
These arrangements may not contain exclusivity provisions and accordingly, also give rise to conflicts of interest,
including how these nephrologists and medical professionals allocate their time and other resources between our
clinics and other clinics or hospitals at which they work.
47The table below provides details of our nephrologists and their attrition rate in the years indicated:
Category Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Nephrologists(1) 565 532 461
Attrition rate (%)* 53.05% 61.23% 29.39%
* Attrition rate is calculated as (number of nephrologists left)/(number of nephrologists at the start and end of the Fiscal Year divided by two.
(1) Nephrologists include nephrologists, doctors and physicians on duty and medical directors.
The table below provides details of our healthcare professional fees in the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Healthcare professional fees (₹ 903.64 593.19 310.50
million)
Total expenses (₹ 6,824.78 5,415.61 4,518.50
million)
Healthcare professional fees as 13.24% 10.95% 6.87%
a Percentage of Total
Expenses (%)
Our inability to retain and hire qualified nephrologist, medical consultants and healthcare professionals may have
a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
5. We may face continuing challenges in further expanding our operations in cities we currently operate in
or in other cities internationally that we strategically intend to commence operations, which could have
an adverse effect on our business prospects and future financial performance.
As of March 31, 2025, we operated 447 clinics in 21 States and four Union Territories and 269 cities in India, five
clinics across five cities in Nepal, 34 clinics across 25 cities in Philippines and four clinics across three cities in
the Republic of Uzbekistan. Our Registered and Corporate Office are located in Hyderabad, Telangana.
In the last three Fiscals, we have expanded our operations geographically in Nepal, Philippines and the Republic
of Uzbekistan. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue from operations from within and outside
India, in absolute terms and as a percentage of our revenue from operations during the Fiscals indicated:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
% of % of % of
Particulars Amount (₹ revenue Amount (₹ revenue Amount (₹ revenue
million) from million) from million) from
operations operations operations
Revenue from operations – 5,155.02 68.21% 4,315.39 76.22% 3,861.11 88.30%

Total revenue from 7,558.12 100.00% 5,661.55 100.00% 4,372.95 100.00%
operations (₹ million)
Expansion into new geographic regions subjects us to various challenges, including those relating to our lack of
familiarity with the culture, governmental agencies, local laws and regulations and economic conditions of these
new regions, language barriers, difficulties in staffing and managing such operations, and the lack of brand
recognition and reputation in such regions. The risks involved in entering new geographic markets and expanding
operations, may be higher than expected, and we may face significant competition in such markets.
We may face risks with respect to commencement of operations in new metros and cities in which we have no
prior operating experience and may not possess the same level of familiarity with local socio-economic conditions,
culture and patient expectations. Factors such as labour availability and supply chain can result in delays. As a
result, understanding the demands of and marketing to these new communities require additional attention from
our management and costs, and we cannot assure you that we will perform well in these cities in the future. There
is also no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable sites, procurement of medical equipments, partner
with private hospitals, healthcare professionals and personnel, or that we will be able to enter into necessary
arrangements at commercially favourable terms to achieve our expansion model.
48Some additional risks associated with establishing and conducting operations in new geographical regions,
particularly internationally, include compliance with a wide range of laws, regulations and practices, including
uncertainties associated with changes in laws, regulations and practices and their interpretation; foreign ownership
constraints and uncertainties with new local business partners; local preferences and service requirements;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; inability to effectively enforce contractual or legal rights; differing
accounting standards and interpretations; stringent as well as differing labour and other regulations; differing
domestic and foreign customs, tariffs and taxes; exposure to expropriation or other government actions; political,
economic and social instability or any other risks associated with establishing operations in such country.
By expanding into new geographical regions, we may be exposed to significant liability and could lose some or
all of our investment in such regions, as a result of which our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
We may also face the difficulty in obtaining necessary permissions to operate our business from the respective
regulatory authorities. We may also experience poor reception or lack of demand for our services in these new
markets. In addition, our competitors may already have established operations in such cities and regions and have
stronger brand recall than us in these markets, and we may find it difficult to attract patients or establish patient
referral arrangements in such new cities and regions. We may not be able to successfully manage the risks of such
an expansion, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
6. Business interruption at our dialysis clinics, either standalone, captive or PPP clinics, could result in
significant losses and reputational damage to our business.
As of March 31, 2025, we operated 490 dialysis clinics with 43 clinics internationally across the Philippines,
Uzbekistan and Nepal. 255 of those clinics are captive clinics, 59 are operated by us independently as standalone
clinics and 176 of those clinics are operated under PPP arrangements. Each of our dialysis clinics is critical to our
operations. Set forth below are the number of clinics operated by us as of Fiscals indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Captive clinics 255 233 224
Standalone clinics 59 46 27
PPP clinics 176 157 65
Total 490 436 316
Any risk of business interruption at our dialysis clinics on account of any external factors such as adverse weather,
natural disasters, fire, riots, terrorism, acts of war, vandalism, extended power failures, internet failures or other
unforeseen events could have a material adverse impact on our business operations and results of operations.
Business interruption could also be the result of internal factors such as the malfunctioning of our machinery,
tampering of our equipment and machines, failure to comply with regulatory requirements and the resulting loss
of authorisation to operate the facility, labour conflict or termination or non-renewal of leases. In these situations,
we cross leverage between clinics within the same cities and bench strength across our network for our healthcare
professionals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several of our partner hospitals in India were turned into COVID-
19 dedicated facilities, which forced us to shut down our dialysis operations at such hospitals or relocate our
operations temporarily. Any business interruption of this kind at our clinics in the future could have a severe
negative impact on our overall business, both by direct loss of revenue and profits related to the site, and through
the long-term damage that such a business interruption could inflict on our relationships with patients and our
reputation. Any such disruption could also have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operation.
Further, we store, handle and use certain flammable materials such as disinfectants and sanitisers in our clinics.
In addition, any short circuit of power supply for our equipment and machines including air conditioning plants,
power supplies, could result in accidents and fires that could result in injury or death to our employees, our
customers, and other persons present at our facilities. Insurance coverage for our captive clinics is managed by
hospitals.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our operations have not suffered any major incident of fire,
significant acts of vandalism or other accidents, but we cannot assure you that these incidents will not occur in
the future. Our safeguards for prevention, detection and control of fire, as well as our insurance against damage
may not adequately cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from our operations, including, but not limited to,
49when the loss suffered is not easily quantifiable. In addition, incidents such as these typically receive wide media
coverage and, as a result, may negatively impact our reputation significantly. While we insure against certain
business interruption and other risks, such insurance may not adequately compensate us for all direct and indirect
losses incurred as a result of natural or other disasters. Any such event may have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
7. The prices that we can charge for our dialysis services are dependent on recommended or mandatory fees
fixed under the terms of the agreements entered into with public and private healthcare providers.
The prices that we charge for all our services are fixed under the contracts we enter with public and private
healthcare service providers. Reference prices of government services, pricing limits imposed by the government
and any government linked insurance schemes may limit our ability to determine or revise the prices of the
services we offer. While we conduct feasibility analysis prior to entering into such agreements to establish and
operate dialysis clinics, we may not always be successful in accurately determining whether the charges for the
dialysis services we provide will be sufficient to cover our cost of providing such dialysis services. Other than
certain escalation terms, we have limited ability to determine the prices of the services we offer at our dialysis
clinics. Further, the escalation clauses included in the agreements we have entered into may not be in line with
inflation linked costs or even the actual increase in expenses incurred in our operations. This could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Further, if the central and
state governments implement mandatory pricing regimes or price regulation mechanisms on dialysis services, our
margins could deteriorate and the prices we charge for our services may not be sufficient to offset our costs and
expenses associated with provision of such services. This in turn could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
8. Compliance with applicable safety, health and environmental regulations may be costly and adversely
affect our competitive position and results of operations. Regulatory reforms in the healthcare industry
in general and associated uncertainty may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The healthcare industry, particularly the dialysis sector in India, is governed by various acts, regulations, and rules
formulated by central and state governments, and any changes to those acts, regulations and rules could directly
impact our business. Although there are no specific regulations in relation to nephrology at present, we are
required to comply to several rules, codes and standards enumerated under various statutes and even expose
ourselves to the risk of losing the permission to operate our business in case of any non-compliance to the
applicable statutory laws. For details, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 306. While we have
not been subject to any instances of regulatory action in the past, we cannot assure you that this will continue to
be the case in the future. There is no assurance that Indian or international legislative and regulatory changes
including pricing control, if any, in the methods and standards used by the government agencies to reimburse and
regulate the operation of hospitals will not result in limitations and reductions in levels of payments to us for
certain services and may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.
Health and safety laws and regulations in India have become increasingly stringent over time, and it is possible
that they will become more stringent in the future. For instance, the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016,
requires an occupant of an institution generating bio-medical waste to take steps to ensure that such waste is
handled without any adverse effect to human health and the environment. The Clinical Establishments
(Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 notified by the Government of India, is under various stages of
implementation in the states and territories where we operate our dialysis clinics. Any changes in implementation
of the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 and allied statutes and rules thereunder,
including with respect to applicability to our dialysis clinics, could result in us being deemed to be in contravention
of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. Further, regulations related to price control on
specified services may also adversely affect our operations. The Supreme Court of India has from time to time,
issued directives to the Central Government and the respective State Governments to rationalize prices for medical
procedures. If implemented, such regulations or any action taken against us for contravention of such regulations
may divert management attention and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, we are subject to healthcare regulations in international regions that we operate in including the
Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal. For instance, in the Philippines, our dialysis clinics must adopt a waste
management program and secure certain necessary permits from the Department of Environmental and Natural
Resources - Environmental Management Bureau Office. Any adverse changes in the healthcare regulations in the
Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal may adversely impact our operations in such regions.
50The laws, regulations, policies, guidelines and licensing and accreditation requirements that we are subject to
cover many aspects of our business. We may incur substantial costs in order to comply with current or future laws,
rules and regulations, and we may not be able to maintain, at all times, full compliance with such laws, regulations,
policies and guidelines. These current or future laws, rules and regulations may also impede our operations. Any
non-compliance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations may subject us to regulatory action, including
penalties and other civil or criminal proceedings, which may materially and adversely affect our business,
prospects and reputation.
9. We have in the past and may in future continue to engage in acquisitions for inorganic growth. Our
inability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate suitable opportunities on commercially reasonable
terms in the future could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations.
Our future success may depend on our ability to acquire other businesses or technologies or enter joint ventures
that could complement, enhance or expand our current business or offerings and services or that might otherwise
offer us growth opportunities. Our acquisition of DaVita Care (India) Private Limited (“DaVita India”) in 2018
bolstered our position in the Indian market. This strategic move expanded our network to over 150 clinics across
more than 90 cities, as of March 31, 2019, enhancing access to dialysis care for a larger patient base.
We entered the Philippines market in October 2020, pursuant to our acquisition of majority stake in Royal Care
Dialysis Centre Inc. (“RCDC”) and Asialife Healthcare Corp (“Asialife”) whereunder we gained access to
RCDC’s and Asialife’s network of six clinics across the Philippines. Since our entry into the Philippines market,
we have further consolidated our position through strategic acquisitions, and as of March 31, 2025 we have
acquired 17 subsidiaries significantly increasing our footprint and patient base in the Philippines. For further
information, see “Our Business – Strengths – Organic growth augmented by proven track record of acquisitions
and integration in India and internationally” and “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details regarding
material acquisitions or divestments of business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, any revaluation of
assets, etc., in the last 10 years” on pages 279 and 318, respectively. We are susceptible to post-acquisition risks
related to integration in Philippines, primarily due to the time required to complete the transfer of clinics, which
may delay the integration process. Additionally, incomplete compliance or outstanding tax obligations could
further delay synergies and impact the timely recovery of our investment. While we have not experienced any
such instances in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected in the future. Our ability to
enter into such transactions may also be limited by applicable antitrust laws and other regulations in India.
Successful acquisitions may require us to deploy significant cash resources, raise debt, or absorb loss-making
operations, which may affect our liquidity and profitability. We may not be able to complete such transactions
due to a failure to secure financing. Any future acquisitions we undertake may be financed through cash provided
by operating activities, borrowings under our credit facilities and/or other debt or equity financing. All of these
could reduce our cash available for other purposes. There can be no assurance that any future acquisitions will be
completed or that they will be successful or accretive to our results of operations.
Any transactions that we are able to identify and complete may involve a number of risks, including but not limited
to: the diversion of management’s attention to negotiate the transaction and then integrate the acquired businesses
or joint ventures; the possible adverse effects on our operating results during the negotiation and integration
process; significant costs, charges or write-downs; the potential loss of patients or employees of the acquired
business; delays or reduction in realizing expected synergies; unexpected liabilities relating to a joint venture or
acquired business; and our potential inability to achieve our intended objectives for the transaction.
We may also enter into strategic alliances or joint ventures to explore such opportunities or make significant
investments in entities that we do not control to capitalize on such business opportunities, and there can be no
assurance that such strategic alliances, joint ventures or investments will be successful. There can also be no
assurances that we will be able to achieve synergies that we seek and generate the expected benefits. Further, if
we acquire another company, we could face difficulty in integrating the acquired operations, or we may incur
higher than anticipated costs, or incur unknown liabilities that could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations.
In addition, the key personnel of the acquired company may decide not to work for us. These difficulties could
disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to achieve the strategic purpose of such acquisition or operational integration or
our targeted return on investment. In addition, we may be unable to maintain uniform standards, controls,
51procedures and policies with respect to an acquired business, and this may lead to operational inefficiencies. To
the extent that we are successful in making acquisitions, we may have to expend substantial amounts of cash,
incur debt and assume loss-making divisions.
10. We may experience delays in construction, development and completion in setting up our new clinics in
India, including obtaining the relevant certificates and approvals, as well as equipment and financing
required for our business operations. Additionally, our new clinics may not achieve the projected volumes
and other benefits we expect from such new clinics.
We may experience delays in the planning, construction, development and completion of the new clinics we intend
to set up in India. While we operated 490 clinics across 269 cities in India, five cities in Nepal, 25 cities in
Philippines and three cities in Uzbekistan, as of March 31, 2025, we intend to expand into new regions and cities
within India and internationally. For further information, see “Our Business – Our Clinics” on page 289. Further,
we intend to utilize ₹1,291.06 million of the Net Proceeds for opening 167 new dialysis clinics in India. See
“Objects of the Offer” on page 160.
The table below sets out details of the number of clinics we have set up or acquired for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Number of clinics set up 63 124 31
Number of clinics acquired 10 12 4
Total number of clinics set up or 73 136 35
acquired
Further, we are yet to identify the exact locations or enter into agreements for lease of suitable properties for
setting up new dialysis clinics in India, for which we intend to utilize the amount from Net Proceeds. These
locations will be finalised by us after conducting a detailed analysis of the demographics, lease rentals and other
business and market considerations. We may open new dialysis clinics in certain geographies in India where we
already have our presence to meet the increasing needs of patients and further enhance their experience along with
new geographies where we do not have direct presence, i.e., in the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi,
Telangana, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Punjab, Andhra
Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Odisha, however, these locations are
only indicative in nature and will be determined in accordance with the annual business plan of our Company
which will be approved by our Board of Directors. The surveys for locations of these new dialysis clinics will be
conducted prior to setting up such clinics. If we are unable to find suitable locations or if the lease rentals incurred
for these locations are in excess of our estimates, our operations and financial conditions may be adversely
impacted. There can be no assurance that the proposed expansions will be completed as planned or on schedule,
and if they are not completed in a timely manner, or at all, our budgeted costs may be insufficient to meet our
proposed capital expenditure requirements. If our actual capital expenditures significantly exceed our budgets, or
even if our budgets were sufficient to cover such activities, we may not be able to achieve the intended economic
benefits of such capital expenditure, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete the
aforementioned expansion and additions in accordance with the proposed schedule of implementation and any
delay could have an adverse impact on our growth, prospects, cash flows and financial condition.
These new clinics entail certain risks, some of which are outside our control. We require the services of several
specialized third parties to undertake work, such as architects, engineers and other suppliers of labour and
materials. The timing and quality of construction of the clinics depends on the availability and skill of these third
parties, as well as contingencies affecting them, including equipment, labour and raw material shortages and
industrial actions such as strikes and lockouts. We may not be able to identify appropriately experienced third
parties and cannot assure you that skilled third parties will continue to be available at reasonable rates in the areas
in which we set up our clinics, or at all. We also may only have limited control over the timing or quality of
services and sophisticated machinery, or supplies provided by such third parties. These factors may lead to time
and cost overruns adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, setting-up of our standalone clinics, captive clinics or PPP clinics requires that we receive the site from
the third parties, public health agency or private healthcare provider and any delays in handover of the site to
establish the dialysis clinic could also result in delays and cost overruns. We are also required to obtain certain
licenses and approvals for our dialysis clinics such as inter alia, shops and establishment registration, trade
licenses, registration certificate for clinical establishment under the relevant state legislations or Clinical
52Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, as applicable. For details, see “Government and Other
Approvals” and “Objects of the Offer” beginning on pages 491 and 160, respectively. While we track our
applications for government approvals, these approval processes can be lengthy, and there can be no assurance
that we will receive the requisite approvals in a timely manner, or at all. Additionally, the scheduled completion
targets for establishment of our dialysis clinics are estimates and can be subject to delays as a result of unforeseen
problems including force majeure events, issues arising out of availability of equipment, unavailability of
financing, unanticipated cost increases or changes in scope of work. There can be no assurance that there will not
be delays in the future and any such delays could have adverse effects on our cash flows, business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Upon completion of our new clinics, we may not achieve the operating levels we expect and we may not achieve
our targeted return on investments on, or benefits from, such additional clinics. We may experience additional
risks with respect to the efficiency of our operational capacity including the failure to realize expected synergies
and cost savings; difficulties arising from coordinating and consolidating corporate and administrative functions,
including the integration of internal controls and procedures such as timely financial reporting; difficulties in
recruiting and retaining doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals at new clinics; and unforeseen legal,
regulatory, contractual, labour or other issues.
If we are unable to manage the growth of our business or successfully commence operations of, or integrate, our
newly established clinics, our reputation and ability to compete effectively could be impaired, which would have
a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
11. Our current and future international operations, including in the Philippines, Uzbekistan, and Nepal,
exposes us to management, legal, tax, political, and economic risks that could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects.
We have expanded our operations outside India to include Nepal, the Philippines, Uzbekistan, and have recently
entered the Middle East, in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”). As of March 31, 2025, we operated a total of five
clinics in Nepal, 34 clinics in the Philippines and four clinics in Uzbekistan, respectively. Our international
operations are subject to, among other risks and uncertainties, the following:
• Demand for our services by the patients located in the international jurisdictions;
• Social, economic, political, geopolitical conditions and adverse weather conditions, such as natural
disasters, civil disturbance, terrorist attacks, war or other military action would affect our business and
operations.
• Compliance with local laws, including legal constraints on ownership and corporate structure,
environmental, health, safety, labor and accounting laws, may impose onerous and expensive obligations
on our foreign subsidiaries. If we are unable to comply with such laws, our business, results of operations
and financial condition could be adversely affected;
• Changes in particularly foreign healthcare laws, regulations and policies and restrictions on trade, import
and export license requirements, and tariffs and taxes, intellectual property enforcement issues and
changes in foreign trade and investment policies, may affect our ability to both operate and the way in
which we manage our business in the countries in which we operate.
Heightened tensions in international economic relations may affect our ability to expand internationally.
Furthermore, operating and launching operations on an international scale requires close coordination of activities
across multiple jurisdictions and time zones and consumes significant management resources. If we do not
effectively manage our international operations and the operations of our overseas subsidiaries and clinics, it may
affect our profitability from such countries, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
12. Our inability to effectively execute our growth strategy could have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We have demonstrated consistent growth and operational efficiency, driven by our strategic initiatives and a strong
market presence. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth and organisational change,
which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial
resources. We plan to continue to scale our operations in the Philippines, Uzbekistan and KSA through inorganic
growth opportunities in the future.

Note:
(1) Total Borrowings include non-current borrowings and current borrowings.
(2) PAT Margin (%) refers to profit / (loss) for the year divided by revenue from operations.
(3) EBITDA (excluding other income) is calculated as profit/(loss) for the year for the year, plus total tax expense /(benefit), finance
costs and depreciation and amortization expenses, less other income.
(4) EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin (%) is calculated as EBITDA (excluding other income) divided by revenue from
operations.
(5) Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other income) is Net Debt divided by EBITDA (excluding other income). Net Debt is calculated as the
sum of our borrowings (current and non-current), less the sum of cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances (excluding
amount under lien / margin money).
(6) Return on Adjusted Capital Employed is calculated as the EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes) divided by average adjusted capital
employed. average adjusted capital employed is calculated as the average of the Adjusted capital employed at the beginning and end
of the financial year, where adjusted capital employed is defined as the sum of total assets less current liabilities, current investments,
cash and cash equivalents, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, non current and current fixed deposits (excluding
amount under lien / margin money). EBIT is computed as profit/(loss) before tax plus finance costs less other income.
(7) Return on Equity is calculated as by dividing profit/(loss) for the year by average total equity.
(8) Patients are defined as total number of patients who received at least one dialysis treatment during the reporting year.
(9) Treatments are defined as total number of dialysis treatments performed across the network during the reporting year.
(10) Revenue per treatment is calculated as average revenue earned per dialysis treatment, calculated as total dialysis revenue divided
by the total number of treatments in the year.
(11) Frequency is defined as average number of dialysis treatment per patient per week, calculated as total treatments during the reporting
year divided by the number of patients as of the last day of reporting year and the number of weeks in the year.
(12) Utilisation rate % is defined as average number of treatments delivered per dialysis machine per month, expressed as a percentage
of the machine’s maximum capacity.
For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of
Operations – Non-GAAP Measures - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures” on page 455.
The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth
strategy. Our growth strategies include, continuing to consolidate our leadership position in India, scaling our
operations in the Philippines, Uzbekistan and KSA, expanding further in South East Asia and Middle East
markets, continuing to focus on operating efficiency and leveraging our network scale to drive supply chain
54benefits and profitability and continuing to focus on innovation-led digital healthcare to enhance convenience,
efficiency and reach.
Our ability to achieve our growth strategies will be subject to a range of factors, including our ability to identify
market opportunities, demands and trends in the industry, develop technology and solutions that meet our patients’
requirements, compete with existing service providers in our markets, consistently exercising effective quality
control, and hire and train qualified personnel. Further, we may not be able to grow the number of clinics that we
operate with partner hospitals.
Many of these factors are beyond our control and there is no assurance that we will succeed in implementing our
strategy. Further, as we expand our operations, enter new markets and regions and attempt to increase revenue
generated from our existing clinics, we may be unable to manage our business, which could affect the quality of
our services, and may adversely affect our reputation. Such expansion also increases the challenges involved in
developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational,
communications, internal control and other internal systems, and recruiting, training and retaining management,
technical and marketing personnel in the relevant geographies.
Our business growth could be a strain on our resources. There can be no assurance that our personnel, systems,
procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future growth. Failure to effectively manage our expansion
may lead to increased costs and reduced profitability and may adversely affect our growth prospects. Our inability
to manage our business and implement our growth strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and profitability.
13. Financial difficulties of third-party payers may result in payment delays or require us to write off debts.
We encounter third-party credit risk where we are reliant on the ability of a third party to pay for services we
provide. We are exposed to varying levels of third-party credit risk depending on whether we bill patients directly
for a service, or whether we invoice public or private healthcare providers. For example, under certain contracts,
we are required to submit our invoices to public health agencies for services rendered by us in accordance with
the terms of our contractual arrangements with such counter-parties. We submit our invoices to the respective
authorities along with relevant documentation as per the contract. However, this process could in certain instances
be delayed on account of changes in administration and requests for additional information. Any such delays could
result in a delay in receipt of payment for services rendered by our Company. Further, if a third-party payer or an
entity with which we have a contractual relationship experiences financial difficulty, we may be unable to collect
amount payable to us, resulting in write-offs of such debt. Significant or recurring delays in receiving payment,
or incidents of bad debts, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects.
The table set forth below indicates payment received through different payment channels in India as of / for the
month of March for the years indicated.

Total 486.79 100.00% 403.79 100.00% 331.09 100.00%
In the ordinary course of our business, we also experience certain delays in receiving payment from third-party
payers, public sector undertakings, corporates. The delay in the payment by insurers, third-party administrators
increases our working capital cycle, which in turn will increase our financing requirements. While there have been
instances of non-receipt of payment in the last three Fiscals, for instance due to delays in submission of claims,
where the team could not submit proper claim documents in a timely manner and we wrote off amounts of ₹ 10.62
million ₹ 10.17 million and ₹ 19.28 million in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, due to these lapses. We
cannot assure you that in the future such instances will not arise in the future.
55Set forth below are certain details regarding our loss allowance:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Trade receivables (₹ million) 2,664.17 2,026.67 1,585.05
Loss allowance (₹ million) 290.04 238.82 114.48
Loss allowance, as a percentage of revenue 3.84% 4.22% 2.62%
from operations (%)
Set forth below are certain details regarding our trade receivables:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Trade receivable turnover days 128.66 130.66 132.30
While we seek to mitigate against such risks by periodic review of the outstanding amount, regular follow up with
parties for recovery of payments and strengthening collection processes, there is no assurance that we will be
successful in doing so. While we take steps to minimise our outstanding dues and receive timely payments from
third parties, such as regular follow-ups and proper and complete recording or documentation, we cannot assure
you that we will not experience any delays in receiving payment from third-party payers. Any delays in receiving
payment of significant outstanding dues from third parties may have a material adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
14. If we fail to negotiate favourable terms with our suppliers or vendors, or unable to pass on any cost
increases to our patients, our business, financial condition and profitability may be adversely impacted.
We may also be adversely affected if we experience shortages of consumables or components or material
price increases from our suppliers.
Our business is dependent on the timely availability and favourable pricing of a range of essential inputs including
dialysis consumables, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and specialised medical equipment. These components
constitute a significant portion of our overall expenses, and any disruption in procurement or adverse pricing
movements could impact our profitability. For instance, we incur regular capital and operating expenses in
connection with purchasing dialysis equipment and medical consumables from third-party suppliers.
The table below sets forth details of cost of materials consumed, which is also expressed as a percentage of total
expenses in the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Cost of materials consumed (₹ 1,941.40 1,686.14 1,425.13
million)
Cost of materials consumed as a 28.45% 31.13% 31.54%
percentage of total expenses
We purchase various products from our suppliers on a monthly basis through purchase orders, which includes
dialyser, blood tubing, acid/bicarbonate concentrates, heparin, saline, and other dialysis-related materials. We may
be unable to obtain such materials in a timely manner, or at all. Our suppliers may not deliver the required quantity
of materials or there may be a disruption in timely supply, resulting in delays to our production schedule and
adversely affecting our overall production. While there have been no instances where our suppliers were unable
to supply us with the desired quantities of specific material, or where we could not find a replacement for any
particular supplier in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in future. Our
profitability is also affected by our ability to achieve favourable pricing from our suppliers, including through
negotiations for supplier discounts and rebates. As these supplier negotiations are continuous and reflect the
ongoing competitive environment, the variability in timing and amount of incremental supplier discounts and
rebates can affect our profitability. Further, such increased costs may negatively impact our ability to deliver
quality care to our customers at competitive prices. Some of the dialysis consumables we use such as Heparin has
major dependency on API that is solely procured from China. For instance, in 2020, Chinese Heparin API
manufacturers suddenly increased the Heparin API pricing which decreased our profit margins. Such risks could
arise again. Absence of long-term supply contracts subject us to risks such as price volatility caused by various
factors such as commodity market fluctuations, currency fluctuations, production and transportation cost, changes
in domestic as well as international government policies, and regulatory and trade sanctions.
56In addition, we import RO membranes in India from China and certain of our equipment and machines such as
dialysis machines, dialysers and blood tubing that we purchase from our suppliers are manufactured in Germany,
Japan and China. If any of these third party suppliers don’t fulfill their contractual obligation, it might impact our
quality of services and adversely affect our results of operations. Any restrictions imposed by the Government of
India on the import of such materials, equipment or machines on the jurisdictions where our suppliers are located,
or any increases in import duties on these materials, , equipment or machines, may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and prospects. If we cannot fully offset increases in our equipment prices or the prices of our
consumables with an increase in the prices for our services, we will experience lower margins, which will have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. In the absence of long
term contracts, we are also exposed to the risk of unavailability of certain consumables and equipment in desired
quantities and qualities, in a timely manner or at all.
Our purchasing strategy is aimed at developing partnerships with our suppliers through purchase orders and at the
same time ensuring, where reasonably practicable, that we have an alternative source for supply and price-critical
primary products. To prevent loss of suppliers, we monitor our supplier relationships on a regular basis. Suppliers
which are integral to our procurement functions are subject to performance and risk analyses. If we are unable to
counteract the risk of bottleneck situations at times of limited availability of components and other materials in
spite of our purchasing strategy in combination with ongoing monitoring of market developments, this could result
in reduced quality of our services and hence have an adverse effect on our results of operations. As on date of this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have not entered into any long term arrangements with any suppliers in relation
to dialysis consumables.
While in the last three Fiscals, we have had non-material instances where a supplier or vendor has been
discontinued to supply us with products and equipment due to quality issues or commercial considerations, we
cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in future or will not have a financial impact on our operations.
Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into new or renew our existing arrangements with
suppliers on terms acceptable to us, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to source products and
equipments in a commercially viable and timely manner, if at all, which may impact our business and profitability.
If we are unable to adopt alternative means to deliver value to our patients or fail to pass on cost increases to our
patients, our profitability could be materially and adversely affected. If we experience an increase in costs, or if
we are not able to grow our revenue in line with our costs, our profitability would be severely impacted,
particularly during a period of economic decline or in the event of a reduction in our revenues, which could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
15. There have been delays in our filings with the RBI under FEMA Laws and consequently, we may further
be subject to regulatory actions and penalty fees for such non-compliance which may adversely impact
our financial condition. Further, there are instances where compounding applications have been filed in
relation to the acquisition of Equity Shares of our Company.
There have been instances of delays and non-compliance with certain provisions of the Foreign Exchange
Management Act, 1999 and the rules and regulations thereunder, corresponding to certain buy-back transactions
undertaken by our Company in the past. Our Company undertook a buy-back of equity shares held by certain
resident and non-resident shareholders of the Company on April 4, 2012. Pursuant to this buy-back, Aditya
Ajwani, Nagraj and Sarita, and William H Stadtlander III, the non-resident shareholders, tendered 7,940, 7,836
and 7,838 equity shares of face value ₹10, respectively. with the transfer price of ₹155 per equity share. For further
details, “Capita Structure – Notes to Capital Structure – Share Capital History of our Company” on page 114.
Our Company did not, within the prescribed time, file the Form FC-TRS with the Reserve Bank of India in respect
of these buy-back transactions. Our Company has recently filed the Form FC-TRS for William H Stadtlander III
with the RBI, with an advice to undertake compounding for the said transaction, as the filing was made after a
delay of more than three years. Additionally, we have submitted the requisite Form FC-TRS filings to our
authorised dealer for Aditya Ajwani, and Nagraj and Sarita. The authorised dealer has returned these filings for
resubmission with certain queries. We are in the process of addressing these queries and re-filing the Form FC-
TRS for Aditya Ajwani, and Nagraj and Sarita. Further, our Company has filed the Form FC-GPR with the RBI
for the allotment of 37,806 equity shares to Brian Jude Gerard Pereira on October 25, 2019, with a delay. While
the form has been approved, the RBI has advised our Company to undertake compounding for the said transaction,
as the filing was made after a delay of more than three years. Our Company has not yet filed the compounding
application as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We may be subject to payment of late submission
fee or compounding in relation to the delayed filings, as applicable, by the RBI. Further, involvement in these
processes could divert our management’s time and attention and consume financial resources.
57Further, a compounding application has been filed by Investcorp Private Equity Fund II (“IPEF II”), in relation
to the acquisition of the Equity Shares by IPEF II from SeaBean Dialysis Partners II Mauritius.
16. We are subject to risks arising from interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Interest rates for borrowings have been volatile in India in recent periods. Our operations are partly funded by
debt and increases in interest rate and a consequent increase in the cost of servicing such debt may have an adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Changes in prevailing interest rates affect our interest
expense in respect of our borrowings. A portion of our debt facilities carry interest at variable rates. While we
may exercise any right available to us under our financing arrangements to terminate the existing debt financing
arrangement on the respective reset dates and enter into new financing arrangements, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms or that these agreements, if entered into, will
protect us adequately against interest rate risks. Further, if such arrangements do not protect us adequately against
interest rate risks, they would result in higher costs.
We are exposed to foreign exchange related risks as a portion of our revenue from operations are in foreign
currency, including the Uzbekistan UZS and Philippine Peso.
The table below sets forth details of our revenue from operations outside India for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Revenue from operations outside 2,403.10 1,346.16 511.84
India (₹ million)
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 7,558.12 5,661.55 4,372.95
Revenue from operations outside 31.79% 23.78% 11.70%
India as a percentage of Revenue
from operations
A portion of our expenses, including salaries and wages payable and rental expenses, are denominated in
currencies other than Indian Rupees. Although our operations outside India provide some degree of natural
hedging, our operations are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, our Company does not have a formal hedging policy. We may also be required to make provisions
for foreign exchange differences in accordance with accounting standards, particularly when preparing our
consolidated financial statements, given our financial statements for our various international subsidiaries are in
foreign currency and are required to be converted to Indian Rupees at a period end exchange rate. The exchange
rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies, primarily the US Dollar, has fluctuated in the past and our
results of operations have been impacted by such fluctuations in the past and may be impacted by such fluctuations
in the future. Set forth below are details of our unrealised foreign exchange gain and foreign exchange fluctuation
loss, net:
Particulars As of/ For the Fiscal ended March 31,
2025 2024 2023
(₹ million, except ratios)
Unrealised foreign exchange gain - 46.64 8.82
Foreign exchange fluctuation loss, net 10.10 28.20 -
Accordingly, any appreciation or depreciation of the Indian Rupee against these currencies can impact our results
of operations. While there have been instances of foreign exchange losses in Fiscal 2025 and 2024, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to manage our foreign currency risk effectively or mitigate exchange exposures
in future which may adversely affect our financial performance.
17. We may be exposed to risks relating to the handling of personal information, including medical data.
Indian laws including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, require medical institutions to protect the
privacy of their patients and prohibit unauthorized disclosure of personal information, including medical data.
Compliance with new and evolving privacy and security laws, regulations and requirements may result in
increased operating costs and may constrain or require us to alter our business model or operations, which may in
turn affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Deficiencies in managing our information
systems and data security practices may lead to leaks of patient records, test results, prescriptions, lab records and
58other confidential and sensitive information. We are also required to comply with the Information Technology
Act, 2000 and the rules thereof, each as amended, which provides for civil and criminal liability, including
compensation to persons affected, penalties and imprisonment for various cyber related offenses, including
unauthorized disclosure of confidential information and failure to protect sensitive personal data. In addition, our
international operations are subject to the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which we are present.
For further information, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 306.
In September 2022, our Subsidiary, Nephrocare Health Services Central Asia FE LLC was targeted by cyber fraud
in relation to payment for equipment with value of approximately Euro 225,000 under an export company.
However, to the best of our knowledge, the supplier does not have any claims in relation to us. We cannot assure
you that such instances will not occur in the future. While we have not faced any other such instance, breach or
theft of confidential and other sensitive information of our patients or procedures or any kind of data leakage in
the last three Fiscals, any future breach (or perceived breach) of our confidentiality obligations to our patients,
including due to data leakages or improper use of such medical information notwithstanding the safeguards that
we have implemented, could expose us to fines, potential liabilities and legal proceedings, such as litigation or
regulatory proceedings, which would adversely affect our reputation.
Deficiencies in managing our information systems and data security practices may lead to leaks of personal
information and sensitive personal data or information, including, medical records, test results, prescriptions and
lab records, which could adversely impact our business and damage our reputation. We have taken measures to
maintain the confidentiality of provider of information, however these measures may not always be effective in
protecting sensitive personal information such as demographic and personal details, anthropometric and lifestyle
data, clinical and dialysis history, comorbidities and medical history, lab results and insurance information. Any
breach of our confidentiality obligations to Provider of Information, including due to data leakages or improper
use of such medical information notwithstanding the safeguards that we have implemented, could expose us to
fines, potential liabilities and legal proceedings, such as litigation or regulatory proceedings, which would
adversely impact our reputation. As cyber-attacks and similar events become increasingly sophisticated, we may
need to incur additional costs to implement data security and privacy measures, modify or enhance our protective
measures or investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents.
18. An inability to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a
timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
We operate in a heavily-regulated industry and are required to obtain a number of approvals and licenses from
governmental and regulatory authorities, for example in relation to the operation of our clinics, procurement and
operation of medical equipment, and storage. For an overview of the applicable regulations and the nature of key
approvals and licenses to be obtained, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” and “Government and Other
Approvals” on pages 306 and 491, respectively.
While we have obtained the required approvals for our operations in standalone clinics, certain approvals for our
standalone clinics in Mumbai, Maharashtra; Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir; and Hyderabad, Telangana are yet to
be applied for. In addition, we have in the past and may in the future apply for certain additional approvals,
including the renewal of approvals which may expire from time to time and approvals required for the expansion
or setting up of new medical clinics or the introduction of a medical service or procedure, in the ordinary course
of business. For details of regulatory and other approvals applicable to us and pending applications for material
governmental approvals, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 491. In our captive clinics in private
hospitals and our PPP clinics in public hospitals, the respective hospitals are responsible for obtaining the licences
we require, as we are operating within their premises. There is no assurance that the approvals and licenses that
we require for our standalone clinics, or our captive clinics in hospitals will be granted or renewed in a timely
manner or at all by the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities, or that the relevant governmental or
regulatory authorities grant or renew the approvals and licenses in compliance or accordance with the law. Failure
to obtain or renew such approvals and licenses either by us or by the hospitals in partnership in a timely manner
would render our operations non-compliant with applicable laws, and may subject us to penalties by relevant
authorities. We may also be prevented from operating the relevant clinics or performing our dialysis procedures
with equipment that requires special approvals or licenses, which could adversely impact our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, our Material Subsidiaries, Nephrocare Health Services
Central Asia FE LLC has been incorporated in the Republic of Uzbekistan and holds approvals for conducting its
business operations, including the certificate of incorporation, the license for medical activity, and the license for
pharmaceutical activity. Further, Nephrocare Health Services International Pte. Ltd. has been incorporated in
59Republic of Singapore and holds a certificate of incorporation. Nephrocare Health Care Services Philippines Inc.
has been incorporated in Philippines and holds approvals for conducting its business operations, including
certificate of incorporation, license to operate, and certificate of registration with bureau of internal revenue, etc.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, Nephrocare Health Care Services Philippines Inc. has applied
for the certificate to do business under the Foreign Investment Act, and is yet to apply for a renewal of the
discharge permit for indirect wastewater discharger to be issued by the Laguna Lake Development Authority.
Our, and our partner hospitals’ licenses, and approvals are subject to periodic renewals, various maintenance and
compliance requirements and governmental investigations and reviews, which could be time-consuming and may
incur substantial expenditure. If our or our partner hospitals’ compliance systems and processes are deemed
inadequate or fail and such investigations or reviews find any non-compliance or violations, we may suffer brand
and reputational harm and become subject to regulatory actions or litigation, which could adversely affect our
business, cash flows, operating results or financial position. We may have to pay fines or be subject to other
penalties, including the revocation of permits and licenses, and the modification, suspension or discontinuation of
our operations. While we have not been subject to any regulatory actions aforementioned, we cannot assure you
that this will continue to be the case in the future. Should such a risk eventuate, this would impose additional
operating costs and capital expenditures on us, and adversely affect our reputation. We, our Directors, Key
Managerial Personnel, healthcare professionals and other consultants and employees may also face criminal
charges. Furthermore, any investigation or legal and regulatory proceedings in connection with alleged violations
could result in the imposition of further financial or other obligations or restrictions on us and generate negative
publicity for our business.
Changes to laws, regulations, guidelines and licensing requirements could also impose restrictions that may
materially and adversely affect our profitability and business. We cannot assure you that the approvals, licenses,
registrations or permits issued to us may not be suspended or revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged
non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action. In addition, any
suspension, revocation or termination of one or more of our operational licenses may also lead to consequences
under the terms of our other licenses. If we or our partner hospitals fail to obtain or renew any applicable approvals,
accreditations, licenses, registrations or consents in a timely manner, or at all, we may not be able to perform
dialysis services, which may adversely affect our business, cash flows or results of operations.
19. Failure or malfunction of our medical or other equipment, could adversely affect our ability to conduct
our operations. We may also experience vehicle related risks which could adversely affect our operations.
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the use of advanced medical equipment. The failure, accident,
defects, faulty maintenance or repair, or improper use or lack of timely servicing of our equipment like our reverse
osmosis machines or our dialysis machines, could cause an injury to our employees or patients or other individuals.
While there have been no instances of injury to our employees or patients or other individuals in the past three
Fiscals, we cannot assure that there will not be any such instances in the future. Any significant malfunction or
breakdown of our equipment also may entail significant repair and maintenance costs and cause disruptions in our
ability to provide timely and quality care to our patients. For instance, our dialysis machines monitor and display
various vital health parameters of our patients and the malfunction of such equipment could impact our ability to
provide care and supervision over their medical condition, which could adversely affect our business, reputation
and results of operation.
The table below sets forth details of our repairs and maintenance expenses for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Repairs and maintenance expenses (₹ million)
- Equipment and vehicles (₹ million) 51.05 33.75 23.77
- Others (₹ million) 85.51 43.39 26.11
Total Repairs and maintenance
expenses (₹ million) 136.56 77.14 49.88
Total expenses (₹ million) 6,824.78 5,415.61 4,518.50
Total Repairs and maintenance 2.00% 1.42% 1.10%
expenses as a percentage of our
total expenses
Any injury caused by our medical equipment including leakage of substances due to equipment defects, accident,
improper maintenance or inadequate operation could subject us to significant liability claims. While there have
been no instances where we were subject to any liability claims in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that
60we may not experience any liability claims or losses in the future or that we may not incur significant costs to
defend any such claims.
While we seek to mitigate against such risks by utilising our in-house team to take care of our equipment and
maintaining certain equipment under maintenance contract, having back up/ stand by equipment, following
preventive maintenance schedule, conducting mandatory training programs and department specific trainings in
relation to health and safety, and sending event-based memos and guidelines to employees, there is no assurance
that we will be successful in doing so. Any inability to respond to failures or malfunctions of our medical or other
equipment in a timely manner or at an acceptable cost could result in harm to our employees and patients, the
inability to provide services, or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Because of the high costs of some medical equipment, we may face the difficulty of the unavailability of spare
parts and servicing, or experience equipment obsolescence. Therefore, even though we generally obtain warranties
for our equipment, if such equipment is damaged or breaks down, our ability to provide services to our customers
may be impaired, which could adversely affect our business.
We may also experience vehicle-related risks, such as mechanical breakdowns of our vehicles, or accidents while
on the road, which can severely impede our ability to provide prompt services to patients in urgent need of our
services. As of March 31, 2025, we own eleven vehicles for our Dialysis on Call (“DoC”) services. While we
provide routine maintenance of our vehicles we cannot assure you that such vehicle-related risks will not occur.
This may adversely affect our quality of services, business, reputation, and results of operation.
20. Our Statutory Auditors and Previous Auditors have included certain remarks in the Companies (Auditor’s
Report) Order, 2020, for the years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023. We
cannot assure you that any similar or other matters prescribed under the Companies (Auditor’s Report)
Order, 2020, will not form part of our financial statements for the future fiscal periods, which could have
an adverse effect on our reputation, the trading price of the Equity Shares, results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition.
Our Statutory Auditors and Previous Auditors have included the following remarks in the annexure to their audit
reports on the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 for the years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024
and March 31, 2023, including certain other matters:
For the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024
Clause (i)(a) (A) of CARO Order, 2020
The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including quantitative details and situation
of Property, Plant and Equipment (including Right of Use assets) except for location of such plant and equipment
as is retired from active use and is held for disposal. As represented to us by the management, the Company is in
the process of updating its Property, Plant and Equipment register to reflect these details.
Further, certain instances with respect to feature of recording audit trail (edit log) facility for certain accounting
software, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 11(g) of Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, have been
included for the year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, as described in “Restated Consolidated
Financial Information – Annexure VII -Statement of Restated Adjustments to the Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements – Part C - Non-adjusting events” on page 444. In the annexure to their audit reports for
March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 our Statutory Auditors have included the following paragraph:
For the year ended March 31, 2025
“2. B.( f) Based on our examination which included test checks, except for the instances mentioned below, the
Holding Company has used an accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of
recording audit trail (edit log) facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions
recorded in the softwares:
In case of an accounting software used for maintaining general ledger, the feature of recording audit trail (edit
log) facility was not enabled at the application level for a part of the year since it was enabled in a phased manner
from 15 August 2024 to 31 December 2024.
61In the absence of independent auditor’s report in relation to the database level controls at service organisation
for accounting software for maintaining its books of account, which is operated by a third-party software service
provider, we are unable to comment whether audit trial feature of the said software was enabled at the database
level and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software.
Further, for the periods where audit trail (edit log) facility was enabled and operated for the respective accounting
softwares, we did not come across any instance of the audit trail feature being tampered with. Additionally, except
where independent auditors’ reports on audit trail for softwares operated by third party service providers were
not available in the previous year, the audit trail has been preserved by the Company as per the statutory
requirements for record retention.”
For the year ended March 31, 2024
“2. B.( f) Based on our examination which included test checks, the Holding Company whose financial statements
have been audited under the Act, except for the instances mentioned below, the Holding Company has used an
accounting software for maintaining its books of account which has a feature of recording audit trail (edit log)
facility and the same has operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software.
a. In the absence of independent auditor’s report in relation to database level controls at service organisation for
accounting software for maintaining its books of account, which is operated by a thirdparty software service
provider, we are unable to comment whether audit trial feature of the said software was enabled at the database
level and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software;
b. In the absence of independent auditor’s report in relation to controls at service organisation for accounting
software used for maintaining the books of account relating to payroll process, which is operated by a third-party
software service provider, we are unable to comment whether audit trial feature of the said software was enabled
and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software.
Further, during the course of our audit, we did not come across any instance of audit trail feature being tampered
with”.
For the year ended March 31, 2023
Clause 3(vii)(a) of CARO Order, 2020
In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations given to us, undisputed statutory dues including
provident fund, sales-tax, service tax, duty of customs, duty of excise, value added tax, cess and other material
statutory dues, as applicable, have generally been regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities, though
there have been slight delays in few cases. Further, income-tax and goods and service tax have not generally been
regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities and there have been significant delays in large number of
cases. Undisputed amounts payables in respect thereof, which were outstanding at the year-end for a period of

For further information, see, “Restated Consolidated Financial Information –Annexure VII -Statement of
Restated Adjustments to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements” on page 444. We cannot assure you
that any similar remarks or other matters prescribed under the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020, will
not form part of our financial statements for the future fiscal periods, which could subject us to additional liabilities
due to which our reputation and financial condition may be adversely affected.
6221. The failure to identify, understand and adapt to rapidly evolving technological advancements related to
our medical equipment and technology could adversely affect our business prospects and financial
performance.
To provide our patients with the best care and compete effectively, we must continually assess our technology
and equipment needs. In particular, some of our medical equipment require continuous upgrades and new
technological advancements may render our existing equipment obsolete. If our medical equipment do not stay
current with technological advances in the health care industry, patients may seek dialysis services from
alternative dialysis providers and/or physicians may refer their patients to alternate sources, and our reputation as
a quality dialysis provider could suffer, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations and harm our
business.
Our success in the future will depend significantly on our ability to take advantage of and adapt to technological
developments to compete with other dialysis services providers. We may have to make considerable expenditures
in the acquisition of the latest generation equipment to maintain our level of competitiveness. We may have to
identify sources of funding on favourable terms for the acquisition of our equipment generally. Such cost increases
may adversely affect our business and results of operations, since we may not be able to pass these cost increases
to our patients. The technologies and services provided by third parties may introduce errors, defects, or failures
into our services. These issues could affect the reliability and quality of our services, leading to patient complaints
and potential liability claims. In extreme cases, such failures could also expose us to litigations, which could be
costly and damage our reputation.
The table below sets forth details of our additions of plant and equipment – medical and additions through business
combination of plant and equipment – medical for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate returns to offset the cost of our investments in digital
technology. Further, our failure to understand, anticipate or respond adequately to evolving medical technologies,
market demands, or healthcare requirements may cause adverse effects on our business and reduce our
competitiveness and market share.
Furthermore, as industry standards evolve, we may be required to enhance and develop our internal processes,
procedures and training, as well as equipment, to comply with such standards and maintain the accreditations that
our facilities have received. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient funds to continually invest in such
equipment and facilities or access to the latest technology on a timely basis, or at all, or that our prevailing systems
may not be sufficiently robust to capture or adapt to the latest changes and updates. While we seek to mitigate
against such risks by keeping abreast of and evaluating the latest medical equipment and technological
advancements through our supply chain management team and upgrading our medical equipment, there is no
assurance that we will be successful in doing so. In the event that we cannot keep up to date with the current trends
and needs of the healthcare industry, our facilities may lose their competitiveness and market share, which may
adversely affect our revenue, and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of
63operations and prospects. In addition, the widespread adoption of new internet technologies, AI or other
technological changes could require significant expenditures to modify or integrate our equipments. If we fail to
keep up with these changes to remain competitive, our future success may be adversely affected.
22. The loss of accreditation held by one or more of our dialysis clinics could impact our revenues and also
damage our brand image, reputation and business prospects.
Our quality and safety accreditations are critical for our brand image. As of March 31, 2025, 122 of our dialysis
clinics were accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (“NABH”)
and three of our dialysis clinics were accredited by Joint Commission International (“JCI”). Additionally, a
significant portion of our clinics are situated within hospitals that are accredited by the NABH and JCI. Ser forth
below are details of our clinics accredited to NABH and JCI for the years indicated.
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
No. of clinics NABH accredited 122 98 65
No. of clinics JCI accredited 3 5 5
In addition, we comply with ISO standards ISO 9001:2015. In addition, in Philippines, PhilHealth accreditation
is mandatory if Company will be participating in national health insurance programs. These accreditations require
our clinics to adhere to high standards, reinforcing our dedication to delivering quality care, with patient safety
and operational efficiency. For further information, see “Our Business - Quality” on page 271.
If our dialysis clinics fail to meet accreditation standards, or if we fail to adapt to evolving standards, we could
lose one or more of our accreditations, which may adversely affect our brand image, reputation and business
prospects. To ensure continued accreditation with such agencies, we must maintain the quality and safety of the
services we offer. In the event we are unable to comply with the accreditation criteria or if such agencies find that
we are not in compliance with the standards and norms prescribed, our accreditation may be revoked or we may
not be granted renewals of such accreditation. In the event our dialysis clinics are not able to receive the relevant
accreditations or such accreditations are cancelled or revoked, it may adversely affect our reputation. Loss of
accreditations may also result such dialysis clinics not being allowed to operate resulting in a loss of revenues and
thereby impacting our financial condition and results of operation. Further, if the hospitals in which our dialysis
clinics operate fail to meet accreditation standards, or lose accreditations, it may adversely affect our brand image,
reputation and business prospects. While we have not experienced any such instances in the past, we cannot assure
you that we will not be adversely affected in the future.
23. Our Company and Subsidiaries are involved in certain legal and regulatory proceedings. Any adverse
decision in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations.
There are outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company and our Subsidiaries which are
pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities. The amounts
claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and
quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in
connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our reputation,
continuity of our management, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that any of these matters will be settled in favour of our Company, our Subsidiaries,
Promoters, or Directors, Key Managerial Personnels and Senior Management or that no additional liability will
arise out of these proceedings. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may have an adverse effect on
our business, financial position, prospects, cash flows, results of operations and our reputation. For further
information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 484.
24. Our business depends on the strength of our brand and reputation. Failure to maintain and enhance our
brand and reputation, and any negative publicity and allegations in the media against us, even if untrue,
may adversely affect the brand, reputation and trust in, our services, which could result in a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We believe that the NephroPlus brand and our reputation are critical to our success. We incur costs to maintain
the NephroPlus brand. The table below sets forth details of our sales promotion in the years indicated:

Our expenditure towards our branding and marketing activities may not be successful in increasing brand
awareness and building the strength of our brand.
Many factors, some of which are beyond our control, are important to maintaining and enhancing our brand and
may negatively impact our brand and reputation if not properly managed, such as our ability to: effectively control
the quality of service to our patients, maintain clinical excellence and maintain our performance as we continue
to expand our operations; increase brand awareness through various means of marketing and promotional
activities, and maintain our reputation through word-of-mouth; adopt new technologies or adapt our technology
and systems, including our patient portals and digitization of medical records, to user requirements or emerging
65industry standards in order to maintain our patient experience and operational efficiencies; and maintain and renew
existing accreditations or to apply for additional accreditations as we expand our network.
Regardless of their veracity, negative publicity arising from such complaints and claims may adversely impact
the number of patients who adopt our services and the revenue therefrom. Despite our efforts to manage and
supervise our healthcare professionals, they may fail to meet our requirements and their contractual obligations
with us. We could also be the subject of complaints from patients who are dissatisfied with the quality of our
services. Our brand and reputation may be adversely impacted if our healthcare professionals provide inferior
service, engage in medical malpractice, violate laws or regulations, commit fraud or misappropriate funds, harm
a customer or mishandle personal healthcare information, in addition to any impact that such development would
have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, if there are any medico-
legal issues faced by our partner hospitals, it may negatively impact our brand and reputation. While we have not
had any such instances of negative publicity in the past three fiscals, any negative publicity arising due to a false
allegation can cause irreversible damage to our brand and affect our results of operations.
Our failure to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation may materially and adversely affect the level of
market recognition of, and trust in, our services. This could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects.
25. We rely on financing from banks or financial institutions to carry on our business operations, and
inability to obtain additional financing on terms favourable to us or at all could have an adverse impact
on our financial condition. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business and future financial
performance could be adversely affected. A downgrade in credit rating could also adversely impact interest
costs or access to future borrowings.
Our business requires significant amount of working capital. A considerable amount of time may elapse between
setting up a dialysis clinic including requisite equipment and generating revenues from dialysis services we
provide. There may be circumstances where funds available with us may not be sufficient to fulfil our business
commitments, and we may need to incur additional indebtedness, or utilize internal accruals to satisfy our working
capital needs. We will continue to require substantial capital in connection with the maintenance and development
of our business network and infrastructure.
The table below sets forth details of our additions to property, plant and equipment, capital work in progress*,
intangible assets under development* and other intangible assets and additions through business combination to

66For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations – Capital Expenditures” on page 478. Our future success depends on our ability to continue to secure
and successfully manage sufficient amounts of working capital. The actual amount of our future capital
requirements may differ from estimates as a result of, among other factors, delayed payments from third parties
including partner hospitals, government bodies and insurers, unforeseen delays or cost overruns, unanticipated
expenses, regulatory changes, economic conditions, technological changes and additional market developments.
In addition, our ability to arrange financing and the cost of such financing are dependent on various factors,
including general economic and capital market conditions, availability of credit from banks, investor confidence,
the continued success of our business and operations and regulations conducive to raising capital.
As of March 31, 2025, we had an aggregate consolidated outstanding indebtedness of ₹ 2,258.01 million,
comprising current and non-current borrowings plus current maturities of long-term debts plus unpaid deposits.
Of our consolidated outstanding indebtedness, approximately 12.71% will mature within the next 12 months.
Maturities (current maturities on long-term debts) means instalments of non-current borrowings falling due within
next 12 months. Our existing operations and execution of our business strategy may require substantial capital
resources and we may incur additional debt to finance these requirements in the future. However, we may be
unable to obtain sufficient financing on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. If interest rates increase it will be more
difficult to obtain credit and there might be increase in credit cost in the event we are able to obtain credit at
increased interest rate. As a result, our development activities may have to be curtailed or eliminated and our
financial results may be adversely affected.
As we pursue our growth strategies, we may be required to raise additional funds by incurring further indebtedness
or issuing additional equity to meet our capital expenditures. However, we may be faced with the risk that we may
not be able to meet our financial obligations as and when they become due.
The table below sets forth details of our cost of borrowings for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Cost of borrowings (calculated as 7.74% 8.31% 9.57%
interest expense on financial
liabilities measured at amortized cost
and other borrowing costs divided by
average borrowing (i.e. sum of
opening and closing borrowing
divided by two))
Our borrowing costs can also be affected by short and long-term credit ratings assigned by rating organizations.
Our facilities have been upgraded to ‘A+/ Positive’ in 2025 from ‘IND A’/ Stable by India Ratings and Research
in 2024. Credit ratings reflect the opinions of ratings agencies on our financial strength, operating performance,
strategic position and ability to meet our obligations. Certain factors that influence our credit ratings may be
outside of our control. A decrease in these credit ratings could limit our access to capital markets and increase our
borrowing costs, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with our current financing agreements or continue to
access funds, including by way of short-term borrowings, on acceptable terms or at all. While we seek to mitigate
against such risks by exploring favourable funding options from banks/financial institutions, there is no assurance
that we will be successful in doing so. Any failure to obtain the requisite funds to meet our requirements or
expansion or modernization of existing capabilities could result in our inability to effectively compete with other
players in the healthcare industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, cash flows and
results of operations.
26. We rely on our in-house and third-party information technology systems in providing our services and
managing our operations, and any disruption to such systems or networks could adversely affect our
business operations, reputation and financial performance.
Our IT systems are essential to our day-to-day clinical, administrative and procurement needs and other areas
including accounting and financial reporting, billing and collecting accounts; and compliance, clinical systems,
medical records and document storage, inventory management; and supply contracts, and monitoring quality of
care and collecting data on quality measures. These systems are maintained and operated by our IT team and third-
party technology service providers. We continuously leverage technology to increase accessibility of our services
67across India. Our ability to continue to use these platforms will depend on ongoing license fees payable and capital
expenditure which we may be required to incur from time to time.
While there has been no instance in the last three Fiscals, where we experienced technology failure and the same
had an adverse impact on the business operations of our Company, there is no assurance that such instance will
not arise in the future. Our business will be significantly impacted if there are failures in our IT systems, the
maintenance and operation by third-party technology service providers, or if we are unable to negotiate favourable
terms with our external technology service providers going forward. Further, we may face the risk of losing or
corrupting customer data due to the factors beyond our control in relation to our third-party technology service
providers, such as faulty transfer of data when we change service providers or the lack of data backup.
Certain of our technology initiatives have enabled better monitoring of patient treatment which provide key
insights to improve our offerings. For instance, as part of our product development capabilities, We have
developed Renova Dialyzer Reprocessing System, a cloud-enabled and globally patented dialyzer reprocessing
system with several innovations including remote troubleshooting. We have also developed a host of custom web-
based and mobile applications to manage our clinic operations efficiently, including ‘Guest application’,
‘Nephrologist application’ and ‘In-clinic applications’. For further information, see “ – Our Business - Business
Operations – Patient Engagement and Clinical Apps” on page 296. Our technology stack and implementation
of digital initiatives enable us to scale our business operations, expand geographically and meet the growing needs
of the industry. As a result, our business depends on the capacity, reliability and security of our technology
systems, as well as the systems of third-party information technology vendors we engage. These systems may be
susceptible to outages due to events beyond our control, including fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications
failures, natural disasters, break-ins and similar events. While to date we have not experienced any significant
disruption of our operations or services provided to patients, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter
such disruptions in the future as a result of any such event. If we experience system interruptions, errors or
downtime (which could result from various causes, including changes in client use patterns, technological failure,
changes to systems, linkages with third-party systems and power failures) or if we are unable to access necessary
technology to effectively serve our patients and manage our operations, our business prospects and financial
performance could be materially and adversely affected. Our hardware and software may be susceptible to
damage, human error, natural disasters, power loss, sabotage, computer viruses, and other events beyond our
control such as interruption in internet services. Managing an effective response to such disruptions may require
significant effort on part of our employees and third-party vendors in order to protect our information technology
systems. Sustained system failures or interruption of our systems (including systems of third-party information
technology vendors) in one or more of our dialysis clinic operations could disrupt our operations and business
administration functions.
Any technical failure that causes an interruption in service or availability of our systems could adversely affect
operations or delay the collection of revenue or cause interruptions in our ability to provide services to our
customers. Corruption of certain information/ data could also lead to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses in the
treatment of customers and could result in damage to the health of our customers. We and our third-party
technology service providers may be subject to cyberattacks and other cybersecurity risks and threats, including
computer break-ins, phishing, and social engineering. We may be subject to liability as a result of any theft or
misuse of personal information stored on our systems including medical data. The technologies and services
provided by third parties may introduce errors, defects, or failures into our services. These issues could affect the
reliability of our services, leading to customer complaints and potential liability claims, which could be costly and
damage our reputation. While there have been no such instances of liability claims or customer complaints in the
last three Fiscals, that we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in future. In September 2022, our
Subsidiary, Nephrocare Health Services Central Asia FE LLC was targeted by cyber fraud in relation to payment
for equipment with value of approximately Euro 225,000 under an export company. However, to the best of our
knowledge, the supplier does not have any claims in relation to us. We cannot assure you that such instances will
not occur in the future.
Although we have implemented network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses,
hacking, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering, which could result in unauthorized
dissemination of sensitive information such as medical data, which could materially and adversely affect our
reputation. Any breach of our confidentiality obligations to our customers, including due to data leakages or
improper use of such medical information notwithstanding the safeguards that we have implemented, could
expose us to fines, potential liabilities and legal proceedings, such as litigation or regulatory proceedings, which
would adversely impact our reputation. Any of the aforementioned events may have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
68Also see “ – We may be exposed to risks relating to the handling of personal information, including medical
data.” on page 58. Compliance with new and evolving privacy and security laws, regulations and requirements
may result in increased operating costs and may constrain or require us to alter our business model or operations,
which may in turn affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
27. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from clinics located in southern region of India, and any
loss of business in such regions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
While we have an extensive network across 21 states and four union territories in India, as of March 31, 2025, a
significant number of our dialysis clinics i.e., 43.60% are located in south in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,
Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala and the union territory, Puducherry.
Further, the table below sets forth our revenues generated from our dialysis clinics in such states in the years
indicated:

2) Top five states in Fiscal 2023, include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.
3) Top ten states in Fiscal 2025, include Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Telangana, Gujarat, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand.
4) Top ten states in Fiscal 2024, include Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Telangana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh,
Haryana and Gujarat.
5) Top ten states in Fiscal 2023, include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat,
Telangana, Uttarakhand and Delhi.
While we have not experienced any such instances which adversely impacted our business and results of
operations during the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future. In
the event of regional developments including political or civil unrest, or natural disasters or disruption that reduce
the demand for our services in these regions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations, which are largely dependent on the performance and other prevailing conditions affecting the
economies of the southern region.
28. We face competition from hospitals and other dialysis service providers. Any adverse effects on our
competitive position could result in a decline in our business, revenues, profitability and market share.
Globally, revenue from dialysis services was estimated to be around USD 75.2 billion in 2024 and it is estimated
to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2024-2029) to reach around USD 106.2 billion by 2029
driven by factors such as increasing prevalence of CKD, improved diagnosis of ESRD and increasing access to
dialysis service. The dialysis services market remains unorganized and highly fragmented, with a shortage of
organized, quality dialysis service providers to meet the increasing demand. (Source: F&S Report) The dialysis
services business faces challenges in providing quality services in a competitive environment and managing costs
at the same time. The competition for patients among hospitals, clinics and other specialized dialysis clinics has
intensified in recent years. Other dialysis providers in the health-care industry may be more well-established than
we are, or are owned or operated by governmental agencies enjoying certain tax incentives or by private not-for-
profit entities supported by endowments and charitable contributions which can finance capital expenditures on a
tax-exempt basis. Some of these competitors may have greater financial, personnel and other resources than us,
and may also enjoy greater economies of scale. They may therefore be able to provide similar services at a lower
cost compared to us and exert pricing pressures on us. We will also need to compete with any future dialysis
facilities established by our competitors in the cities or areas in which we operate. Further, if there is an increase
in kidney transplants in India and in our jurisdictions by hospitals including our partners hospitals where we
operate, it may adversely impact our business. If we are unable to identify and adapt to changes in healthcare,
particularly demands for dialysis services, we may lose our competitive edge over our competitors, which can
adversely affect our business, results of operation and market share. In addition, any changes in competitive
69landscape of dialysis including change/replacement of outsourced model of dialysis can have an adverse impact
on our business.
Further, in the organized sector, we face competition from international companies such as Fresenius Medical,
DaVita, US Renal Care and Diaverum and domestic companies such as DCDC, Apex Kidney Care, Apollo
Dialysis, RAHI Care, VitusCare and 7Med. (Source: F&S Report) We also face competition from international
dialysis chains which have commenced providing dialysis services in India. New or existing competitors may
price their services at a significant discount to our prices or offer better services or amenities than us, exert pricing
pressure on some or all of our services and also compete with us for medical professionals and patients. Some of
our competitors may also have plans to expand their networks, which may exert further pricing and recruiting
pressure on us. If we are forced to reduce the price of our services or are unable to attract patients with our value
proposition, our business, revenues, profitability and market share may be adversely affected.
29. Our business depends on the demand for dialysis services, which is affected by patient preferences,
economic condition, social factors, disposable income and increasing general health awareness of India’s
general population, which could decline due to a variety of factors.
Our business is affected by various challenges currently faced by the Indian healthcare industry, including the
provision of quality healthcare in a competitive environment and managing costs at the same time.
The Indian dialysis service market is valued at about USD 818.0 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach about
USD 1,979.0 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 19.3%. Organized market accounts for approximately 20% of the
market, while standalone private and government clinics account for the remaining 80%. The In-clinic
hemodialysis dialysis market is valued at about USD 787.3 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR
of 19.4% over the next five years to reach USD 1,910.3 million by 2029. (Source: F&S Report) In India, more
than 3,25,000 new patients each year develop ESRD, leading to a significant demand for dialysis. (Source: F&S
Report) Factors such as growing life expectancy, increased propensity for kidney diseases to develop due to
increased prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, insurance coverage extensions for dialysis, increasing
preferences for dialysis companies to develop a more personalized and convenient delivery of dialysis services
will affect our business operations. Compared to most of the other acute medical conditions necessitating episodic
or one-time treatment, dialysis is a recurring, life-sustaining medical service for individuals with ESRD. (Source:
F&S Report) Any adverse attitudes towards dialysis services could negatively impact the demand for our types of
services.
Our key source of income is from individual patients. The growth of these types of customers is dependent on
brand recognition, wider acceptance of our business in the communities in which we operate and our ability to
compete effectively within our industry, all of which we may be negatively affected by a wide variety of reasons.
For example, individual decisions regarding when to access dialysis may be impaired by the absence of a
developed health insurance sector or the lack of appropriate government programs to cover the costs of healthcare.
Moreover, given the small proportion of people in India presently with health insurance, customers in India
generally are responsible for all or part of the cost of dialysis services. Patients with end-stage kidney disease are
highly dependent on dialysis services to survive, making it a non-discretionary demand. (Source: F&S Report)
The cost involved and the impact on disposable income may cause a patient to reduce adherence to the required
treatments per week which will have negative impact on not only our performance but also patient’s life. In
addition, we cannot assure you that the current trend of increase in health awareness will continue, and it may
even reverse. Any of the above reasons may affect our ability to maintain or increase growth in walk-in customers,
which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, there is a risk that an existing partner hospitals may choose to insource dialysis services that are
currently operated by us within their premises. Such a move could lead to the termination or non-renewal of our
agreement, resulting in the loss of a clinic location, disruption of patient services, and a potential decline in revenue
from that clinic. In addition, our business, results of operations, and cash flows may be adversely affected by
broader challenges facing the Indian healthcare industry. These include general economic conditions that reduce
disposable income available for healthcare spending; temporary requisitioning of healthcare infrastructure during
public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic; demographic shifts including increasing life
expectancy; and lifestyle changes that contribute to a higher incidence of chronic diseases. Further, seasonal illness
cycles driven by climatic variations and disease outbreaks, as well as difficulties in recruiting and retaining
qualified healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and attendants may also negatively impact our operations.
70Any failure by us to effectively address these and other factors could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
30. We are required to furnish bank guarantees and letters of credit as part of our business operations. Our
inability to arrange such guarantees or the invocation of such guarantees may adversely affect our cash
flows and financial condition.
As part of our business and as is customary, we are required to provide financial and performance bank guarantees
in favour of the public health agencies under the respective agreements for the establishment of dialysis clinics
we undertake to operate. In connection with establishment of such dialysis clinics, we typically issue bank
guarantees to the relevant agency with whom the contractual arrangement has been entered into.
These guarantees are typically required to be furnished within a few days of the signing of a contract and typically
remain valid up to 12 months after the liability period prescribed in that contract. We may not be able to continue
obtaining new financial and performance bank guarantees in sufficient quantities to match our business
requirements. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the financial bank guarantees, performance
bank guarantees or letters of credit, our ability to enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be
limited and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Providing security to obtain letters of credit, financial and performance bank guarantees also increases our
working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2025, we had issued bank guarantees and letters of credit amounting to ₹ 1,646.97 million towards
securing our financial/ performance obligations under our ongoing contracts. We may be unable to fulfil any or
all of our obligations under the contracts entered into by us in relation to the set-up of our dialysis clinics due to
unforeseen circumstances which may result in a default under our contracts resulting in invocation of the bank
guarantees issued by us. While we have not experienced any instances where our performance guarantees were
invoked in the last three fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. If any or all
the bank guarantees are invoked, it may result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
31. Restrictions in import of raw materials may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
We currently import certain of our consumables such as RO membranes in India, dialyzers, blood tubing in
Philippines, dialyzers, blood tubing, AVF needles, acid/bicarbonate concentrates in Uzbekistan. Raw material
imports are regulated by certain specific laws and regulations that permit concerned authorities to stop any import
if it is deemed that the chemicals proposed to be imported may cause major accidents. The table below sets forth
details of cost of materials imported, which is also expressed as a percentage of total cost of materials consumed
in the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Cost of materials imported (₹ 146.28 119.90 53.62
million)
Total cost of materials consumed (₹ 1,941.40 1,686.14 1,425.13
million)
Cost of materials imported as a 7.53% 7.11% 3.76%
percentage of total cost of materials
consumed
Any restrictions imposed by the Government of India or the relevant jurisdictional authorities where our
Subsidiaries conduct their operations on the import of such raw materials or any embargoes on the jurisdictions
where our suppliers are located, or any increases in import duties on these raw materials, may adversely affect our
business, results of operations and prospects. While raw materials we import from China, Japan and Germany are
not restricted, we cannot assure you that such regulations will not be made applicable to us, or that such regulations
will not evolve into more stringent regulations, which would place onerous requirements on us and consequently
restrict our ability to import our consumables. While we have not in the recent past experienced any challenges in
importing such materials, we cannot assure you that we will not experience any such challenges in the future. In
the event we are unable to import these consumables, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
identifying alternate suppliers for consumables or we will be able to source the consumables at favourable terms
in a timely manner or at all.
32. Technological or pharmaceutical advancement may lead to more cost-effective technologies or non-
71invasive procedures that can be performed without the use of specialized dialysis service clinics or
laboratories, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
Advances in technology or pharmaceutical products may lead to the development of more cost-effective
technologies and medicines which may be more convenient and/or less expensive than our current solutions, such
as implantable artificial kidneys, portable hemodialysis machines, shift to cost-efficient peritoneal dialysis,
wearable artificial kidneys and the up-and-coming 3D-printed biological tissue technologies, leading to increased
availability of organs for transplant and correspondingly a reduced requirement for dialysis. Further, the continued
advancement in medical science could also result in medicines/treatments to treat kidney issues which may be
more cost efficient than dialysis. Development of such technology and pharmaceutical products and its use by our
patients could reduce the demand for our dialysis services and negatively affect our income. Further,
manufacturers of dialysis equipment could seek to increase their sales by marketing dialysis equipment to
physicians and by selling dialysis kits approved for home use to both physicians and patients. Moreover,
advancements in the availability of dialysis equipment that can be operated locally and that do not require free-
standing clinics or advancements in dialysis kits that can be operated by patients themselves could also result in
a decrease in the volume of services from which we receive a substantial portion of our revenue. Any of these
scenarios may have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
33. Our inability to protect or use our intellectual property rights or comply with intellectual property rights
of others may have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation.
We consider our brand and intellectual property to be a valuable asset. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, we have 16 trademarks, and one copyright registered in India, along with one patent application and
six trademark applications which are pending approval in India. We own RENASSURE: QUALITY DIALYSIS
SOP, a copyrighted dialysis protocol that is developed by the in-house clinical and research team to minimise /
eliminate potential sources of infections during dialysis through certain standard operating procedures. We have
registered our trademarks under the Trademarks Act under classes 41 and 44, including our logo
.
Further, our Subsidiary, Nephrocare Health Care Services Philippines, Inc. has one registered trademark in
Philippines.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully obtain such registrations, which may adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more details, see “Government and Other
Approvals – Intellectual Property” on page 494. We cannot assure that any future trademark or patent
registrations will be issued for our pending or future applications or that any of our current or future trademarks
or patents (whether registered or unregistered) will be valid, enforceable, sufficiently broad in scope, provide
adequate protection of our intellectual property, or provide us with any competitive advantage. Moreover, even if
the applications are approved, third parties may seek to oppose or otherwise challenge these registrations and
assert intellectual property claims against us, particularly as we expand our business and the number of services
we offer.
Our failure to register or protect our intellectual property rights may also undermine our brand and result in harm
to the growth of our business. If any of our confidential or proprietary information, were to be disclosed or
misappropriated, or if a competitor independently developed any such information, our competitive position could
be harmed. If any of our unregistered intellectual property are registered in favour of a third-party, we may not be
able to claim registered ownership of such intellectual property, and consequently, we may be unable to seek
remedies for infringement of those intellectual properties by third parties other than relief against passing off by
other entities. Our inability to obtain or maintain these registrations may adversely affect our competitive position.
The measures we take to protect our intellectual property include relying on Indian laws and initiating legal
proceedings, which may not be adequate to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties.
Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property rights, it is possible that third parties
may copy or otherwise infringe on our rights.
Furthermore, our tests and business processes may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. While we
take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of third parties, we cannot determine with
certainty whether we are infringing upon any existing third-party intellectual property rights. For example, our
trademark “Nephroplus – dialysis made easy” is appearing as registered in the name of another party on the
72website of the World Intellectual Property Organization, and is also the subject of pending application by another
third party. There may be third-party intellectual property rights, that cover or claim to cover significant aspects
of our technologies or business methods. We may be exposed to increased risk of being the subject of intellectual
property infringement claims as a result of acquisitions, as, among other things, we have a lower level of visibility
into the development process with respect to such technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement
risks. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be very time-consuming, could be expensive
to settle or litigate and could divert our management’s attention and other resources. These claims could also
subject us to significant liability for damages, potentially including enhanced statutory damages if we are found
to have wilfully infringed patents or other intellectual property rights. These claims could also result in our having
to stop using technology found to be in violation of a third-party’s rights. While such claims by third parties have
not been made to us historically, the occurrence of any of the foregoing would adversely affect our business
operations and financial results.
34. We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under our financing agreements. Any non-
compliance may lead to, amongst others, accelerated repayment schedule, enforcement of security and
suspension of further drawdowns, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
Some of the financing arrangements entered into by us include conditions that require our Company to obtain
respective lenders’ consent or provide intimation prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain
transactions. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents or provide intimation could have significant
consequences on our business and operations. These covenants vary depending on the requirements of the
financial institution extending such loan and the conditions negotiated under each financing agreement. Some of
the corporate actions that require prior consents from certain lenders include, amongst others, changes to the (a)
capital structure/shareholding structure of our Company, (b) constitutional documents of our Company, (c)
changes in management and shareholding pattern, (d) changes in promoter shareholding, (e) undertaking any fresh
acquisition, (f) capital expenditure (to the extent not included in the projections submitted by the Company), and
(g) change in the operating structure of the Company While we have received all relevant consents required for
the purposes of this Offer and have complied with these covenants, a failure to comply with such covenants in the
future may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives that we may propose to take from time to time.
A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents/ waivers may
lead to acceleration of amounts due under such facilities and triggering of cross default provisions. If the
obligations under any of our financing documents are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a portion of our cash
flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents, thereby reducing the availability of cash
for our working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. In addition, during any period in which
we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising, further financing.
35. If we fail to manage our growth or implement our growth strategies (which include expansion into new
geographies), our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
Our growth depends on our ability to build, develop and manage additional clinics and to expand into new
geographies. As part of our growth strategies, we plan to (i) continue to consolidate our leadership position in
India, (ii) scale operations in existing international markets including through inorganic growth opportunities, (iii)
Expand further in South East Asia, Commonwealth of Independent States and Middle East markets, (iv) continue
to focus on operating efficiency and leveraging our network scale to drive supply chain benefits and profitability
and (v) continue to focus on innovation-led digital healthcare to enhance convenience, efficiency and reach. For
further information, see “Our Business – Strategies” on page 282. There is no assurance that our growth strategies
will be successful. To manage and support our growth, we must enhance our existing operational and
administrative systems, as well as our financial and management controls. All these endeavours will require
substantial management attention and efforts, and significant additional expenditures. If we fail to expand at a
pace as we plan, we may face operational and financial constraint in the future which may adversely affect our
business and financial condition. The success of our growth strategies depends on various factors including our
ability to:
• recruit, train and retain the required number of personnel and dialysis technicians, as well as maintain a
reliable pipeline of future recruits, to meet our growth demands;
• tie up with reputed partner hospitals and nephrologists;
• grow our patient visits and patient retention;
• optimize our employee costs and professional fees;
73• hire and retain competent managerial and technical personnel, and technology and support staff;
• provide consistent, high-quality dialysis services;
• negotiate lease agreements and renew them on commercially prudent terms;
• maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers;
• identify appropriate geographic markets for expansion;
• identify suitable targets for acquisition;
• secure financing on good commercial terms to invest in clinics;
• successfully integrate new acquisitions into our existing operational and management structure to provide
consistent and reliable services throughout our network; and
• invest in new technology or develop our current technology stack for our patients.
As we operate in a highly competitive industry, we may have to revise our management estimates and even our
expansion strategies, from time to time, which may result in significant changes in our funding requirements and
may put significant strain on our resources.
In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions in the event that
we undertake acquisitions in the future, or overcome the challenges arising from our acquisitions and investments.
Further, any business that we acquire may have unknown or contingent liabilities, and we may become liable for
the past activities of such businesses. We may be subject to undisclosed risks and liabilities from any historic non-
compliances which may exist in relation to such businesses. If we are unable to successfully execute our growth
strategies, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely
affected.
36. Our ability to generate revenue from our off-clinic services and premium value-added on-clinic service is
subject to certain risks and uncertainties.
We believe a significant growth opportunity exists within the home hemodialysis and other off-clinic dialysis
markets. However, adoption of home hemodialysis therapies in India remains limited, and our ability to capture
market share is uncertain. While we expect that expansion into this segment could contribute meaningfully to our
growth, there can be no assurance that we will be able to scale these services or achieve widespread patient or
physician adoption. Our long term growth will require shifts in both patients’ and the medical community’s
perception regarding the efficacy and convenience of off-clinic dialysis. This includes more patients opting for
home hemodialysis / off-clinic dialysis from current levels, number of physicians who are willing to prescribe
home hemodialysis, and dialysis service providers like us are willing to support home hemodialysis growth. We
will need to continue to devote significant resources to expanding the off-clinic dialysis market, but these efforts
ultimately may not be successful.
The implementation of our off-clinic services is also subject to certain risks, including our ability to attract, retain
and manage patients. Our business strategy, including our pricing of our various services, is based on certain
assumptions about the adoption of our service offerings like home hemodialysis, dialysis-on-call and dialysis-on-
wheels by dialysis patients, as well as patient retention.
If these assumptions about the off-clinic dialysis market are inaccurate and we are unable to increase our share of
the off-clinic dialysis market by attracting new patients, or retain such market share once achieved, we would
need to significantly change certain aspects of our business strategy, including the pricing of our off-clinic service
offerings, associated consumables and support and maintenance, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Any disruption in the distribution, logistics and service support that
relates to the use of medical equipment like dialysis machines, reverse osmosis-based water treatment plants
outside of traditional dialysis clinics may also negatively impact our ability to generate revenue from consistent
utilization of our off-clinic services. For example, in home hemodialysis, clinician/dialysis technician generally
visits customer’s home to support with the dialysis process including cannulation which cannot be performed by
the customer on their own. Since there is no full time monitoring of the clinical staff/dialysis technician at
customer’s home, it may result in medico-legal liability. While there have been no instances of medico-legal
liability in the past three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that we may not experience any medico-legal liability
claims or losses in the future or that we may not incur significant costs to defend any such claims. Moreover, we
also face the risk that we may not be able to retain or attract patients to using this service due to the costs and
space required for the installation and maintenance of the required machinery, as well as other risks whose precise
nature and magnitude we cannot accurately predict at this time, which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
74We also provide our services through holiday dialysis program, where patients can continue treatment while
traveling, with our Company managing travel, accommodation, and treatment logistics, wherever the patient is.
Since the holiday dialysis market is a novel one, we also face the risk that we may encounter difficulties whose
precise nature or magnitude we cannot accurately predict at this time, but which may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
37. Any disruption to the steady and regular supply of workforce for our operations, including due to strikes,
work stoppages or increased wage demands by our workforce or any other kind of disputes with our
workforce or our inability to control the composition and cost of our workforce could adversely affect our
business, cash flows and results of operations.
Healthcare is a manpower-intensive sector and we employ a large number of attendants, aides, caregivers, dialysis
technicians, nurses, and other medical staff for providing care to our patients. As on March 31, 2025, we had
3,230 employees and 2,270 contract labourers. Work stoppages due to strikes or other events could result in
slowdowns or closures of our operations which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing various aspects of our
relationship with our employees, encompassing minimum wages, working hours, working conditions, hiring and
termination practices, and work permit authorization. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies in
India” on page 306. Our employees are not unionised into any labour or workers’ unions, but we cannot assure
that there will be no such unions in the future. While there has been no instance in the last three Fiscals where we
experienced work stoppages due to strikes or labour unrest that resulted in closure of our operations, we cannot
assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.
38. Disruption to or failure of transportation services for medical consumables and other materials could
materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.
The transportation of medical consumables is handled internally by us either directly by the vendor or through a
third party provider. The following table sets forth the transportation charges expenses incurred as a percentage
of our revenue from operations in the years indicated:
For the year ended For the year ended
Particulars For the year ended March 31, 2025
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
(₹ million, except percentages)
Transportation charges (₹ 77.57 64.92 68.76
million)
Revenue from operations 7,558.12 5,661.55 4,372.95
Transportation charges as a 1.03% 1.15% 1.57%
percentage of revenue from
operations
The proper and efficient handling of medical consumables during transportation by our couriers is essential for
maintaining our integrity and ensuring safety from accidental exposure to and contamination due to breakage or
accidental opening of certain vacuum-packed or sterilised material. The vehicles used to transport consumables
must satisfy relevant legal, practical and technical requirements, which vary depending on the type of consumable
transported. These requirements include, for example, the use of appropriate transport containers and packaging,
the temperature at which consumables must be transported and the duration of the journey. Mishandling
consumables in the transportation process can increase the likelihood of infection / adverse effects in our patients.
There is also a risk that poor infrastructure, heavy traffic and remote supplier locations could result in
transportation delays, which could result in late deliveries both of which could cause actual or reputational damage
to our business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation. While we have not
experienced any such disruptions that affected our delivery scheduled in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure
you that such instance will not arise in the future.
39. Our offices, including our Registered and Corporate office, and our clinics are located on leased premises.
Any termination, inability to renew or inability to terminate our lease agreements, or breach of our lease
agreements by the counterparty, for our offices or clinics may lead to disruptions in our operations and
affect our business operations.
Most of our clinics are either captive (inside partner hospital premises) and are operating on a rent free model
because of our revenue sharing arrangement, or it’s on a PPP based model inside governmental hospitals or
medical colleges on a rent free model. Certain of our offices and approximately 12% of our clinics are located in
75premises that are either under leave and license agreements or leased from third parties and lease or license terms
that typically range between 11 months and 12 years. Such lease agreements can be renewed at the end of their
respective periods depending on whether the terms of the renewal have been agreed between us and our lessors.
In Philippines, 34 of our clinics are standalone and on lease basis, whereas in Uzbekistan we operate our clinics
on PPP model. For further information, see “Our Business – Our Clinics” on page 289.
Our use of the licensed or leased premises under such lease or leave and license agreements is required to comply
with the terms and conditions of such lease agreement. Some of our lease agreements may include onerous
conditions, such as non-entitlement to terminate the agreement for a fixed period unless there was a breach or
force majeure circumstances or payment of penal interest in case of default of payment of rent. Further, the lessors
or licensors may terminate such lease or leave and license agreements in the event of a breach of the terms of such
agreements, including any delay in payment or non-payment of rent. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to renew such lease or leave and license agreements on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, that our
lessors or licensors may not breach the terms of our lease agreements or that we may be able to terminate such
agreements in the event of breach of the terms of lease agreements by our lessors or licensors. In the past, while
we have not experienced instances of lessors breaching the agreements or initiating early termination of such
agreements, we have terminated certain lease agreements pre-maturely.
Further, we may encounter unforeseen problems with the premises and its condition or enter into disputes with
our lessors regarding the maintenance of the premises and other related issues. Further, in case of our premise-
specific licenses, we will have to apply for new licences and /or intimate the respective authorities regarding the
change of address and there can be no assurance that we will get the new licences and approvals in a timely
manner.
In case of any deficiency in the title of the owners from whose premises we operate, breach of the contractual
terms of any lease, leave and license agreements, it may not be practicable to effectively relocate our clinics in a
timely manner or at acceptable terms, if at all, and, even if we are able to relocate our clinics to another premises
in a new location, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain all our customers at such clinics or
otherwise sustain the same level of operations or revenue contribution from such clinics subsequent to their
relocation. Our inability to renew lease agreements of the renewal of such agreements on commercially favourable
terms may lead to disruptions to our business and have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and
results of operations.
40. Employee theft, fraud, misconduct or failure of our internal processes or procedures could harm us by
impairing our ability to attract and retain patients and subject us to significant legal liability and
reputational harm.
Our business may expose us to the risk of fraud, misappropriation or misrepresentation or unauthorized
transactions by our representatives and employees which could result in binding us to transactions that exceed
authorised limits or present unacceptable risks. Further, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in
connection with any unauthorized transaction, fraud or misappropriation or misrepresentation or mis-selling by
our representatives and employees, which could adversely affect our goodwill. Employee misconduct or mis-
selling or misrepresentation could also involve the improper use or disclosure of confidential information, breach
of any applicable confidentiality agreement, misappropriation or misuse of any third-party intellectual property
rights which could result in regulatory sanctions, penalties and serious reputational or financial harm. In addition,
employees may utilize our confidential information and technology to start their own businesses and become our
competitors. As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have received 576 whistle blower complaints,
out of which 569 are closed and seven are ongoing. As a consequence of these complaints, we have initiated
actions including warnings and also terminated employees in certain instance. We cannot assure you that we will
not experience such instances of fraud, misconduct, misrepresentation, mis-selling of current and ex-employees,
which can adversely impact us.
Further, although we have systems in place to prevent and deter fraudulent activities by our employees that include
detailed background verification, a whistle blower policy and vigil mechanism policy, employee awareness
sessions, and a separate committee that monitors such instances, there can be no assurance that such systems will
be effective in all cases. While we strive to monitor, detect and prevent fraud or misappropriation by our
employees, through various internal control measures and insurance coverage, we may be unable to adequately
prevent or deter such activities in all cases. While we have been able to identify such issues in the past, there could
be instances of fraud and misconduct by our employees, which may go unnoticed for certain periods of time before
corrective action is taken. In addition, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with
76any such unauthorized transaction, fraud or misappropriation by our employees, which could adversely affect our
goodwill, business prospects and future financial performance. Even when we identify instances of fraud and
other misconduct and pursue legal recourse or file claims with our insurance carriers, we cannot assure you that
we will recover any amounts lost through such fraud or other misconduct. Any instances of fraud or misconduct
or mis-selling could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
41. Certain of our Directors have interests in our Company other than their normal remuneration or benefits
and reimbursement of expenses.
Certain of our Directors are interested in our Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and
reimbursement of expenses. Vikram Vuppala, our Chairman and Managing Director, is also one of the Promoters
of our Company. Pursuant to the Promote Agreement, certain investors have agreed to pay Vikram Vuppala an
incentive payment in cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, the achievement of a
specified return on residual invested capital as certified by an independent and reputed valuer. The determination
of the amount of incentive payment is based on achieving certain shareholder return thresholds, leading to
identified multiples on invested capital. For details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details of
shareholders’ agreements and other material agreements” and “History and Certain Corporate Matters -
Agreements with Key Managerial Personnel, Directors or any other employee” on page 321 and 323. Certain of
our Directors holding Equity Shares may take or block actions with respect to our business which may conflict
with the best interests of our Company or that of minority shareholders. Furthermore, our Directors may also be
deemed to be interested in transactions in the ordinary course of business entered into by our Company with
entities in which they or their relatives hold partnership interests. For further information on the interest of our
Directors, other than reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits, see “Our
Management - Interests of Directors” on page 350. Further, please see “Capital Structure - Shareholding of our
Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in our Company”, and “Our Promoters and
Promoter Group” on pages 153 and 364.
42. Conflicts of interest may arise out of business ventures in which one of our Directors is interested.
As at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, one of our Directors, namely Vikram Vuppala, has interest in
entities that are engaged in businesses similar to ours. For instance, Vikram Vuppala is a director on the board of
certain of our Subsidiaries which are in the same line of business as that of our Company. See “History and
Certain Corporate Matters – Other Confirmations – Common Pursuits” on page 343. We cannot assure you that
our Director will not provide competitive services or otherwise compete in business lines in which we are already
present or will enter into in future. In the event that any conflicts of interest arise, our Directors may make
decisions regarding our operations, financial structure or commercial transactions that may not be in our
shareholders’ best interest. It may also enable a competitor to take advantage of a corporate opportunity at our
expense. Such decisions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects. Should we face any such conflicts in the future, there is no guarantee that they will get
resolved in our favour.
43. We may be required in future, to provide free or subsidised dialysis services to patients belonging to
economically disadvantaged sections of the society and certain other patients.
We may be required to provide free or subsidised dialysis services for certain specific sections or classes of
patients (for example, patients belonging to economically weaker section of society) with respect to private
hospitals. We may also be required to provide free or subsidised dialysis services at the existing dialysis clinics
pursuant to any social welfare legislation enacted in this regard. The provision of free or subsidised dialysis
services may adversely affect our revenues and our business, financial condition and results of operations.
44. Our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will continue to hold a significant equity stake in
our Company after the Offer and their interests may differ from those of the other shareholders
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group
collectively held 75.48% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis. For further
information on their shareholding pre and post-Offer, see “Capital Structure” on page 114. After the completion
of the Offer, our Promoters along with the members of Promoter Group will continue to collectively hold
significant shareholding in our Company and will continue to exercise significant influence over our business
policies and affairs and all matters requiring Shareholders’ approval, including the composition of our Board, the
77adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation, the approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or joint
ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, lending, investments and
capital expenditure or any other matter requiring special resolution. This concentration of ownership also may
delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our Company and may make some transactions more difficult
or impossible without the support of these stockholders. The interests of the Promoters as our controlling
shareholders could conflict with our interests or the interests of our other shareholders. We cannot assure you that
the Promoters will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our favour and any such conflict may adversely affect
our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business. For further information in relation to the
interests of our Promoters in the Company, see “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” and “Our Management”
on pages 364 and 344, respectively.
45. Grants of stock options under our employee stock option plans may result in a charge to our profit and
loss account and, to that extent, reduce our profitability and financial condition.
Our Company approved the Nephroplus Employee Stock Option Scheme 2011 (“ESOP Scheme”) for issue of
employee stock options to eligible employees. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Company
has granted 15,370,905 employee stock options under the ESOP Scheme. Our Company may grant options under
the ESOP Scheme in the future. Grants of stock options result in a charge to our statement of profit and loss and
reduce, to that extent, our reported profits in future periods. For further details in relation to the ESOP Scheme,
see “Capital Structure - Notes to Capital Structure - Employee Stock Option Schemes” on page 155.
46. Our Corporate Promoters do not have adequate experience in our line of business and have not actively
participated in the business activities we undertake.
Our Corporate Promoters, BVP Trust, Edoras, HPL, IPEF II and IGOF do not possess adequate experience, and
are not involved in the day-to-day management of the Company and do not actively participate in the business
activities of our Company. Additionally, one of our Promoters, Edoras Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd., acquired
591,688 equity shares of face value ₹10 each and 1,679,106 CCPS of face value ₹10 each representing 30.06% of
Equity Share capital of our Company, on a fully diluted basis in May 2024 and was not a shareholder of the
Company prior to this period. For further details, see “Capital Structure” and “Our Promoter and Promoter
Group – Details regarding change in control of our Company” on pages 114 and 372, respectively. Due to the
nature of their respective business activities, BVP Trust, Edoras, HPL, IPEF II and IGOF, may not have adequate
experience in the business activities undertaken by our Company. We cannot assure you that this lack of adequate
experience will not have any adverse impact on the management and operations of our Company.
47. We are dependent on a number of key personnel, including our senior management, and the loss of or
our inability to attract or retain such persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
Our performance is dependent on our Individual Promoter, senior management and other key personnel to
maintain our strategic direction, manage our operations and meet future business challenges that may also arise
in relation to our business. The loss of, or inability to attract or retain, such persons could materially and adversely
affect our business and financial results. In particular, the active involvement of our senior members in our
operations and the services of our Key Managerial Personnel have been integral to our development and business.
Our future performance would depend on the continued service of our Individual Promoter, Senior Management,
Key Managerial Personnel and qualified clinical staff and other research and development personnel, and the loss
of any senior employee and the inability to find an adequate replacement may impair our relationship with key
customers and our level of technical expertise, which may adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. For changes in our Senior Management or Key Managerial
Personnel in the last three years, see “Our Management - Changes in the Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management during the last three years” on page 362. While there has been no instance in the last three Fiscals
where the resignation of any Senior Management or Key Managerial Personnel had an adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, cash flows or financial conditions, we cannot assure you that such instances will
not arise in the future. As on date, our Company has a business succession policy in place. Any loss of members
of our senior management team or key personnel could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our
business objectives, affect our succession planning and could harm our business and customer relationships.
Our future success, amongst other factors, will depend upon our ability to continue to attract, train and retain
employees and experienced experts, and there are a limited number of persons with the requisite knowledge of
78the dialysis industry and relevant experience. The market for qualified professionals is competitive and we may
not continue to be successful in our efforts to attract and retain qualified people. The specialised skills we require
in our industry are difficult and time-consuming to acquire and, as a result, are in short supply. We may need to
increase compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain personnel in the future, which may adversely
affect our business, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.
The table below sets forth the attrition rate in the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Number of Employees(1) exited 920 872 833
Attrition Rate* 31.78% 35.75% 39.38%

48. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future, which
may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the equity shareholders.
We have entered into transactions with related parties in the past and from, time to time, we may enter into related
party transactions in the future. These transactions are in the nature of short term employee benefits, payment of
rent, remuneration, gratuity expense and employee stock option cost. While all such transactions have been
conducted on an arm’s length basis, in accordance with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations
pertaining to the evaluation and approval of such transactions, we cannot assure you that we could not have
achieved more favourable terms if such transactions had been entered into with unrelated parties.
Further, it is likely that we may enter into additional related party transactions in the future. While all related party
transactions that we may enter into post-listing, will be subject to Board or Shareholder approval, as necessary
under the Companies Act, the SEBI Listing Regulations and other applicable laws, we cannot assure you that
these or any future related party transactions that we may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, will not have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. Any future related
party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of interest, which may be detrimental to us and against the
interest of prospective investors. In addition, we cannot assure you that relevant shareholders’ approval will be
received for all material related party transactions and, accordingly, certain transactions which may be favourable
to us may not be executed. The table below sets forth details of absolute sum of all related party transactions and
the percentage of such related party transactions to our revenue from operations in the years indicated:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
(₹ million, except percentages)
Absolute sum of all related party 78.35 38.66 31.37
transactions
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 7,558.12 5,661.55 4,372.95
Absolute sum of all related party 1.04% 0.68% 0.72%
transactions as a percentage of revenue
from operations
There are no loans, advances, guarantees or security given by the Company or its Subsidiary to related
parties. Further, there have been no instances in the Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, where any of our related
party transactions constituted more than 10% of the total transactions of similar nature.
For further information, see “Summary of the Offer Document - Summary of Related Party Transactions” and
“Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Note 38 - Related Party Disclosures” on pages 24 and 426
respectively.
7949. Our goals and disclosures related to ESG matters expose us to numerous risks, including without
limitation risks to our reputation and stock price.
There has been increased focus from our stakeholders, including patients, employees, and investors, on our ESG
practices. We have established goals and strategies related to ESG matters, for further information see “Business
– Our Strengths – Driving sustainable dialysis leadership with environmental, social and governance
measures” on page 281.We have set and disclosed these focus areas, goals and related objectives as part of our
continued commitment to ESG matters, but our goals and objectives reflect our current plans and are not
guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our efforts to accomplish and accurately report on these goals
and objectives present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, certain of which are
outside of our control, and could have, under certain circumstances, a material adverse impact on us, including on
our reputation and stock price. Examples of such risks include, among others: the availability and cost of low- or
non-carbon-based energy sources and technologies for us and our vendors, evolving regulatory requirements
affecting ESG standards, frameworks and disclosures, including evolving standards for measuring and reporting
on related metrics, the availability of suppliers that can meet our standards, our ability to recruit, develop and
retain strong talent in our labor markets, and our ability to grow our home based dialysis business.
If our ESG practices do not meet investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, then our reputation,
our ability to attract or retain employees and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner or acquirer could
be negatively impacted. In addition, if there are new regulations or orders that proscribe the ability to focus on
ESG programs, then there would be a risk if we continued to pursue these goals. In addition, our failure or
perceived failure to adequately pursue or fulfill our goals and objectives or to satisfy various reporting standards
within the timelines we announce, or at all, could also have similar negative impacts and expose us to other risks,
which under certain circumstances could be material. If we are not able to adequately recognize and respond to
the rapid and ongoing developments and governmental and social expectations relating to ESG matters, this failure
could result in missed corporate opportunities, additional regulatory, social or other scrutiny of us, the imposition
of unexpected costs, or damage to our reputation with governments, patients, teammates, third parties and the
communities in which we operate, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
50. We have not entered into any definitive arrangements to utilize certain portions of the Net Proceeds of the
Offer. Our funding requirements and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised
by any bank or financial institution or any other independent agency, and are based on management
estimates and may be subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds for (i) funding capital expenditure by our Company for opening new dialysis
clinics in India; (ii) prepayment/repayment, in full or part, of certain outstanding borrowings availed by our
Company; (iii) general corporate purposes in the manner specified in “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page
160. The amount of Net Proceeds to be actually used and the deployment of Net Proceeds will be based on our
management’s discretion. The funding requirements mentioned as a part of the objects of the Offer are based on
internal management estimates in view of past expenditures, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institution. However, the deployment of the Gross Proceeds will be monitored by a monitoring agency appointed
pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Our internal management estimates may exceed fair market value or the
value that would have been determined by third-party appraisals, which may require us to reschedule or reallocate
our capital expenditure and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
Further, we are yet to place orders for the total capital expenditure which we propose to fund from the Net
Proceeds. We have not entered into any definitive agreements for lease arrangements for our dialysis clinics
proposed to be set up from the Net Proceeds and we have relied on the quotations received from third parties and
on our historical expenditure for estimation of the cost for setting up such clinics. While we have obtained the
quotations from various vendors in relation to such capital expenditure, most of these quotations are valid for a
certain period of time and may be subject to revisions, and other commercial and technical factors. We may have
to reconsider our estimates or business plans due to changes in underlying factors, some of which are beyond our
control, such as interest rate fluctuations, changes in input cost, and other financial and operational factors. In the
event that the estimated utilisation of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled Fiscal is not completely met, the same shall
be utilised in the next Fiscal, as may be determined by our Company, in accordance with applicable laws.
However, in any event, the Net Proceeds will be utilised towards the Objects, in accordance with the schedule of
deployment disclosed in “Objects of the Offer – Proposed schedule of implementation and deployment of Net
Proceeds” on page 161. The Company shall not vary the Objects without being authorised to do so by our
Shareholders, in the event of a rescheduling of the deployment of the Net Proceeds, as specified in “Objects of
80the Offer – Proposed schedule of implementation and deployment of Net Proceeds” on page 161. In case of
increase in actual expenses or shortfall in requisite funds, additional funds for a particular activity will be met by
any means available to us, including internal accruals and additional equity and/ or debt arrangements, and may
have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Accordingly, prospective investors in the Offer will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with respect
to the use of Net Proceeds. If we are unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or an efficient manner, it may
affect our business and the results of operations.
51. Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the F&S Report which
is a paid report and commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and any
reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.
We have availed the services of an independent third-party research agency, Frost & Sullivan (India) Private
Limited, appointed by our Company pursuant to an engagement letter dated March 19, 2025, to prepare an industry
report titled “Independent Market Research (IMR) on Dialysis Services Market in Select Countries” dated July
2025, for purposes of inclusion of such information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus to understand the industry
in which we operate. Our Company, our Promoters, and our Directors are not related to Frost & Sullivan (India)
Private Limited. This F&S Report has been commissioned by our Company exclusively in connection with the
Offer for a fee. This F&S Report is subject to various limitations and based upon certain assumptions that are
subjective in nature. Further the commissioned report is not a recommendation to invest or divest in our Company.
Prospective investors are advised not to unduly rely on the commissioned report or extracts thereof as included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, when making their investment decisions.
52. Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations
and financial performance like EBITDA (excluding other income), EBITDA (excluding other income)
Margin (%), PAT Margin (%), Net Debt, Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other income), Net cash flow
generated from operating activities / EBITDA (excluding other income), Return on Adjusted Capital
Employed (%), Return on Equity (%), Net Worth, Return on Net Worth (%) and Net Asset Value per Equity
Share have been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures
are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance like EBITDA (excluding other income), EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin (%),
PAT Margin (%), Net Debt, Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other income), Net cash flow generated from
operating activities / EBITDA (excluding other income), Return on Adjusted Capital Employed (%), Return on
Equity (%), Net Worth, Return on Net Worth (%) and Net Asset Value per Equity Share have been included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures and such other
statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be
useful measures of our business and financial performance.
These Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and
should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years or any
other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or
cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition,
these are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between companies
may not be possible. Other companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its
usefulness as a comparative measure. These non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical and other
information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard
methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and
statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are
not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies. For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 455.

54. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls measures and compliance system,
our business and reputation could be adversely affected.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control measures commensurate with the
size and complexity of our operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and
effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance
requirements and internal guidelines. While there have been no instances of failure to maintain effective internal
controls and compliance system in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise
in the future.
However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes
or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all
circumstances. We take reasonable steps such as periodically testing and updating our internal processes and
systems to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal
controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. Our
efforts in improving our internal control systems may not result in eliminating all risks. If we are not successful
in discovering and eliminating weaknesses in our internal controls, our ability to manage our business effectively
may materially and adversely be affected. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore
subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in judgment or failures that
result from human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence
82and may impact the price of our Equity Shares in the future.
Further, our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations. These laws generally prohibit us and
our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to government
officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We participate in
collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under
these laws or other local anti-corruption laws. If we are not in compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws,
we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and
legal expenses, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations of anti-corruption laws by the relevant authorities
could also have an adverse impact on our business and reputation.
While there have been no instances of non-compliance with statutory requirements in the past three Fiscals, as we
continue to grow, there can be no assurance that there will be no instances of non-compliances with statutory
requirements, which may subject us to regulatory action, including monetary penalties, which may adversely
affect our business and reputation.
55. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate or we may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our
insurance coverage which may impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results in operations.
Our existing insurance may not be sufficient to cover all damages, whether foreseeable or not. Further, while we
maintain insurance policies including directors’ and officers’ management liability insurance, burglary,
housebreaking insurance, public liability insurance, group health insurance, vehicle insurance and insurance
against natural disasters and terrorism, there is no certainty that such insurance will be adequate to cover all claims
arising from medical negligence or malpractice. For further information on the insurance policies availed by us,
see “Our Business – Insurance” on page 303. Any successful claims against us in excess of the insurance
coverage may adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
prospects.
Notwithstanding the insurance coverage that we carry, we may not be fully insured against certain types of risks.
We cannot assure you that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured fully, in part,
on time, or at all. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our
insurance coverage in the normal course of our business, but we cannot assure you that such renewals will be
granted in a timely manner at acceptable costs or at all. To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not
covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results
of operations could be adversely affected.
Any damage suffered by us in excess of such limited coverage amounts, or in respect of uninsured events, not
covered by such insurance policies will have to be borne by us. While we have not experienced any instance where
we incurred losses exceeding our insurance coverage in the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such
instances will not arise in the future.
The table below set forth details of coverage of our insurance policies against the total insurable assets in the years
indicated:

56. Our Company may not be able to pay dividends in the future. Our ability to pay dividends in the future
will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash
flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure and the terms of our financing
arrangements.
Any dividends to be declared and paid in the future are required to be recommended by our Company’s Board of
83Directors and approved by its Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of
Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act. Our Company’s ability to pay dividends in the
future will depend upon our future results of operations, financial condition, profit after tax available for
distribution, cash flows, sufficient profitability, working capital requirements and capital expenditure
requirements. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenues to cover our operating expenses
and, as such, pay dividends to our Company’s shareholders in future consistent with our past practices, or at all.
Additionally, in the future, we may be restricted by the terms of our financing agreements in making dividend
payments unless otherwise agreed with our lenders. We have not declared any dividends on the Equity Shares
during the last three Fiscals and from April 1, 2025, until the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For
information pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page 376.
57. Delay/ default in payment of statutory dues may attract penalties and in turn have an adverse impact on
our financial condition.
We are required to make certain payments to various statutory authorities from time to time, including but not
limited to payments pertaining to employee provident fund, employee state insurance, professional taxes and tax
deducted at source. The table below sets forth the details of payment of statutory dues by the Company in relation
to our employees for the period/ year indicated below:

*As certified by Agarwal and Ladda, Chartered Accountants, by way of their certificate dated July 25, 2025.
There have been no instances of default or non-payment of undisputed amounts in payment of statutory
dues/liabilities by the Company in the last three Fiscals. However, certain returns were filed with delays during
the reporting period, with applicable interest and late fees duly paid. There are no outstanding tax dues or ongoing
disputes in this regard. We cannot assure you to that we will be able to pay our statutory dues timely, or at all, in
the future. Any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and regulatory action,
as well as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
8458. Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale.
The Offer comprises a Fresh Issue and an Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholders. Our Company will not
receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale (after applicable deductions)
will be transferred to each of the Selling Shareholders, in proportion to its respective portion of the Equity Shares
transferred by each of them in the Offer for Sale and will not result in any creation of value for us or in respect of
your investment in our Company.

59. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price,
enterprise value to EBITDA, price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue multiple based
on the Offer Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing
or thereafter.
Our revenue from operations for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 7,558.12 million, and our profit/(loss) for the year for Fiscal
2025 was ₹ 670.96 million, respectively.
The table below provides details of our enterprise value to EBITDA ratio, price to earnings ratio and market

*To be populated at Prospectus stage.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by our
Company in consultation with the BRLMs. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band will
be determined shall be disclosed in the advertisement that will be issued for the publication of the Price Band.
Further, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market
demand for the Equity Shares offered through the book-building process prescribed under the SEBI ICDR
Regulations, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the section “Basis for the Offer Price”
on page 176 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the market price of the Company
on listing or thereafter.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the
Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing does not guarantee that a market for the
Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other
factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the dialysis industry we operate in,
developments relating to India, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or
proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth
rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in
economic, legal and other regulatory factors. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active market will develop
or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the
Equity Shares will be traded after listing. Further, the market price of the Equity Shares may decline below the
Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
60. Changing laws, rules and regulations in India could lead to new compliance requirements that are
uncertain.
The regulatory environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The GoI may implement
new laws or other regulations that could affect the dialysis services industry, which could lead to new compliance
requirements. New compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the
government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements and could increase our costs or
otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the manner in
85which new requirements will be enforced or interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our operations and could
adversely affect our operations. Accordingly, any adverse regulatory change in this regard could lead to
fluctuation of prices of consumables / raw materials and thereby increase our operational cost. For details on the
laws applicable to us, please see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 306.
Further, our business, financial performance, cash flow and results of operations could be adversely affected by
unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations
applicable to us and our business. Our business, cash flows, results of operations and prospects may be adversely
impacted, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable
law and policy. The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate are evolving and are subject to change.
We are subject to laws and government regulations, including in relation to safety, health, environmental
protection and labour. These laws and regulations impose controls on air and water discharge, employee exposure
to hazardous substances and other aspects of our operations. For instance, the GoI has recently introduced the
Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); the Occupational Safety, Health and Working
Conditions Code, 2020; the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and the Code on Wages, 2019, which consolidate,
subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations (collectively, the “Labour Codes”). Certain
portions of the Code on Wages, 2019, have come into force upon notification by the Ministry of Labour and
Employment. The remainder of these codes shall come into force on the day that the Government shall notify for
this purpose. Different dates may also be appointed for the coming into force of different provisions of the Labour
Codes. While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been notified, we are yet to determine the
impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business
in the future and increase our expenses. For instance, the Social Security Code provides that where an employee
receives more than half (or such other percentage as may be notified by the Central Government) of their total
remuneration in the form of allowances and other amounts that are not included within the definition of wages
under the Social Security Code, the excess amount received shall be deemed as remuneration and accordingly be
added to wages for the purposes of the Social Security Code. Additionally, the Code on Wages, 2019, prescribes
that if payments made by an employer towards certain employment benefits (including gratuity and house rent
allowance) exceed half (or such other percentage as may be notified by the Central Government) of the total
remuneration, the excess amount shall be deemed remuneration and accordingly be added to wages. The
enforcement of these laws could lead to higher employee and labour costs, which in turn could have a detrimental
effect on our operational results, cash flow, business, and overall financial health.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing
law, regulation or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited
body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may
impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. We may incur
increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require
significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects. Further, pursuant to the Finance (No.2) Act
of 2024, notified on August 16, 2024, the Government of India has introduced new income tax slabs, an increase
in standard deduction and an increase in the deduction available in respect of private sector employer’s
contribution to National Pension Scheme from 10% to 14% of the salary of the concerned employees. There is no
certainty on the impact of the full union budget on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate.
61. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist
attacks, civil unrest and other events could materially and adversely affect our business.
Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding and earthquakes), epidemics, pandemics such as COVID-19 and
man-made disasters, including acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events such as political instability, including
strikes, demonstrations, protests, marches or other types of civil disorder, many of which are beyond our control,
may lead to economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Our operations may be adversely affected
by fires, natural disasters and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our property or inventory and
generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations. Any terrorist
attacks or civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in India or countries to whom
we cater to could have a negative effect on us. In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially
between India and its neighboring countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which
could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that
86investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business
and the market price of the Equity Shares.
62. Restrictions on repatriation of funds and complexity of our international structure, changing laws and
tax regimes across our operating jurisdictions could adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
As a Company operating across multiple jurisdictions, we are exposed to risks related to the repatriation of funds
from our foreign subsidiaries to us. Local regulations, foreign exchange controls, tax withholding requirements,
and banking restrictions may limit or delay our ability to transfer dividends, management fees, or other payments
across borders. In particular, changes in foreign exchange policies or capital control measures in countries where
we operate could restrict the free flow of funds, impacting our liquidity and ability to allocate capital efficiently.
Additionally, our international corporate structure involves multiple entities across different legal and tax regimes,
which adds complexity to our financial operations and compliance obligations. Any misalignment in
intercompany transactions, transfer pricing policies, or tax filings could result in regulatory scrutiny, penalties, or
double taxation. While we have not experience any such instances in the past, we cannot assure that future changes
in law or enforcement will not adversely affect our financial flexibility or operational efficiency.
In Uzbekistan, medical institutions operating as entities within the social services sector are eligible for a 0%
corporate income tax rate, provided that at least 90% of their total annual revenue is derived from the provision
of medical services. Currently, our operations in Uzbekistan benefit from this exemption. If the current tax
exemption applicable to our operations is revoked or modified, we could face a significant increase in tax
liabilities, which may adversely affect our profitability and cash flow. Additionally, failure to comply with
evolving tax regulations or settle outstanding tax obligations may adversely affect our business operations and
cash flows. While we have not faced any such instance in the past, we cannot assure that future changes will not
adversely impact our financial condition.
Similarly, in the Philippines, any changes to regulations, or delays in securing regulatory approvals and tax-related
obligations, could adversely affect our business. While we have not faced any such instance in the past, we cannot
assure that future changes will not adversely impact our financial condition.
63. A downgrade in ratings of India and other jurisdictions we operate in may affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to various factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy
or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, which are outside our Company’s control. Our borrowing costs
and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India. Any further adverse
revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may
adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at
which such financing is available, including raising any overseas additional financing, if any. A downgrading of
India’s credit ratings may occur, for reasons beyond our control such as, upon a change of government tax or
fiscal policy. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms and
consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.
64. Restrictions on foreign direct investments (“FDI”) and external commercial borrowings may hamper our
ability to raise additional capital. Further, foreign investors are subject to certain restrictions on transfer
of shares.
While the Government has permitted FDI of up to 100% without prior regulatory approval in the healthcare sector,
it has issued a notification and imposed certain restrictions or conditionality on such investments pursuant to Press
Notes, circulars and regulations (including Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019
(“FEMA Rules”)) issued by the DPIIT or the RBI or the Ministry of Finance, Government of India, from time to
time, as the case may be (collectively, the “FEMA Norms”).
In accordance with the FEMA Rules, participation by non-residents in the Offer is restricted to participation by
(i) FPIs under Schedule II of the FEMA Rules, in the Offer subject to limit of the individual holding of an FPI
below 10% of the post-Offer paid-up capital of our Company and the aggregate limit for FPI investment currently
not exceeding 100% (sectoral limit); and (ii) Eligible NRIs only on non-repatriation basis under Schedule IV of
the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules. Further, other non-residents such as FVCIs and multilateral and bilateral
development financial institutions are not permitted to participate in the Offer. As per the existing policy of the
87Government, OCBs cannot participate in this Offer. For more information on bids by FPIs and Eligible NRIs, see
“Offer Procedure” on page 523.
The Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules, 2022, (“ODI Rules”) provides regulations for
Indian entities and individuals to invest abroad, setting out eligibility norms, permissible activities, and
compliance requirements. The ODI rules allow overseas investments under the automatic route, subject to sectoral
restrictions and financial limits, while mandating strict reporting and valuation norms. We cannot assure you that
any approval required for investment in our overseas subsidiaries under the ODI Rules will be obtained on
favourable terms, or in a timely manner, or at all.
Further, under FEMA, transfers of shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted, subject to
certain restrictions, if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified under the
FEMA Norms. If the transfer of shares is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements,
prior regulatory approval of the RBI will be required. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the
RBI or any other government agencies will be obtained on favourable terms, or at all.
Further, under current external commercial borrowing guidelines prescribed by the RBI, companies are required
to abide by restrictions including minimum maturity, permitted and non-permitted end-uses, maximum all-in-cost
ceiling. Our inability to raise additional capital as a result of these and other restrictions could adversely affect
our business and prospects.
65. We may be affected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which could
adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable
adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal
or informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is
considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among
competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls
production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or the provision of services or shares the market
or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way of allocation of geographical
area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive
bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a
dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a company took place
with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or
other officer of such company, that person shall be also guilty of the contravention and may be punished.
Further, the CCI has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination
occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact
of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty
at this stage. In the event we pursue an acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the
application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated
by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any
prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The manner in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the
business environment in India may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results
of operations.
The Government of India has also notified the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 key provisions of which have
come into effect from September 9, 2024. The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 inter alia modifies the scope
of certain factors used to determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by
the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of
entities, for anticompetitive agreements and abuse of dominant position . If we pursue acquisitions in the future,
we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition
(Amendment) Act, 2023 or other amendments, any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, any adverse
publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, or any prohibition or substantial
penalties levied under the Competition Act, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results
of operations, cash flows and prospects.
8866. Financial and political instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial
markets.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries,
including conditions in the United States of America, Europe and certain emerging economies in Asia including
Uzbekistan and Philippines. In particular, the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel
and Palestine, any sudden escalation of tensions or outbreak of war between India and Pakistan could result in
increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy. Increased economic volatility
and trade restrictions could result in increased volatility in the markets for certain securities and commodities and
may cause inflation. Any other global economic developments or the perception that any of them could occur may
continue to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets,
and may significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate
in certain financial markets. Further, any worldwide financial instability including possibility of default in the US
debt market may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or indirectly, adversely
affect the Indian economy and financial sector and us. Although economic conditions are different in each country,
investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in
other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets
may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general.
Concerns related to a trade war between large economies may lead to increased risk aversion and volatility in
global capital markets and consequently have an impact on the Indian economy.
In addition, China is one of India’s major trading partners and there are rising concerns of a possible slowdown
in the Chinese economy as well as a strained relationship with India, which could have an adverse impact on the
trade relations between the two countries. In response to such developments, legislators and financial regulators
in the United States and other jurisdictions, including India, implemented a number of policy measures designed
to add stability to the financial markets. Further, the imposition of tariffs by the US government under its “Fair
and Reciprocal Plan” may impact Indian businesses, especially those with a substantial export presence in the US
market. This policy has resulted in the imposition of tariffs across a diverse range of sectors, including steel,
aluminium, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and electronics. As a results, Indian exporters may encounter heightened
costs and uncertainties, potentially constraining their market competitiveness and profitability. These
developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have an adverse
effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly
reduce global market liquidity, restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial
markets or restrict our access to capital. However, the overall long-term effect of these and other legislative and
regulatory efforts on the global financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have the intended stabilising
effects.
67. The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. The Government of India has implemented
two major reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to
general anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The
indirect taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added
tax, surcharge and excise have been replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues
to be subject to amendments and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving.
GAAR became effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an
arrangement may result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our business. In the absence of any
substantial precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the GAAR provisions
are made applicable to us, it may have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs associated with certain
of our transactions are greater than anticipated because of a particular tax risk materializing on account of new
tax regulations and policies, it could affect our profitability from such transactions.
Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), in
the hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such
dividends were generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, the GoI has amended the
Income-tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”) to abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distribution by a
domestic company is subject to tax in the hands of the investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, the Company
is required to withhold tax on such dividends distributed at the applicable rate.
89Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of
owning, investing or trading in the Equity Shares. There is no certainty on the impact that the Finance Act may
have on our business and operations or on the industry in which we operate. Uncertainty in the applicability,
interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy,
including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time
consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our
ability to grow our business in the future.
We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the nature
and impact of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws or regulations
would have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/
tribunals/ courts would have an effect on our profitability. In addition, we are subject to tax related inquiries and
claims.
68. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services at a
proportional rate in order to pass costs on to our consumers thereby reducing our margins.
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has
experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and
increased costs to our business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses.
High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs.
Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass on to
our consumers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may
be adversely affected. Further, the Government of India has previously initiated economic measures to combat
high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that
Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future.
69. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse
effect on the value of the Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
Upon listing, the Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect
of the Equity Shares will be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into appropriate foreign currency
for repatriation. In addition, any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds
from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be
required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the net proceeds received by shareholders.
70. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like
Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) and Graded Surveillance Measures (GSM) by the Stock
Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard interest of investors, have been
introducing various enhanced pre-emptive surveillance measures. The main objective of these measures is to alert
and advice investors to be extra cautious while dealing in these securities and advice market participants to carry
out necessary due diligence while dealing in these securities. Accordingly, SEBI and Stock Exchanges have
provided for (a) GSM on securities where trading price of such securities does not commensurate with financial
health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net-worth, price per equity multiple and market
capitalization; and (b) ASM on securities with surveillance concerns based on objective parameters such as price
and volume variation and volatility.
On listing, we may be subject to general market conditions which may include significant price and volume
fluctuations. The price of our Equity Shares may also fluctuate after the Offer due to several factors such as
volatility in the Indian and global securities market, our profitability and performance, performance of our
competitors, changes in the estimates of our performance or any other political or economic factor. The occurrence
of any of the abovementioned factors may trigger the parameters identified by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for
placing securities under the GSM or ASM framework such as net worth and net fixed assets of securities, high
low variation in securities, customers concentration and close to close price variation.
90In the event our Equity Shares are covered under such pre-emptive surveillance measures implemented by SEBI
and the Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in relation to trading of our Equity
Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or
freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity
Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active market for and trading of our Equity
Shares.
71. The trading volume and market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile following the Offer.
The market price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among other things, the following factors, some
of which are beyond our control:
• quarterly variations in our results of operations;
• results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;
• results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;
• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research
analysts and investors;
• a change in research analysts’ recommendations;
• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint operations or
capital commitments;
• announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
• new laws and governmental regulations applicable to our industry;
• additions or departures of key management personnel;
• changes in exchange rates;
• fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; and
• general economic and stock market conditions.
• Impact of any of the risk factors mentioned in this section of the DRHP
Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares.
72. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid
market for the Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and the investors
may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the stock
exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market
for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Offer
Price of the Equity Shares may bear no relationship to the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Our
Equity Shares are expected to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance that active
trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops that it will continue. Investors
may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading in our Equity Shares.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our
Equity Shares after the Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal
or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The market
price of our Equity Shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including,
among others:
• the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after the Offer, or changes in the estimates of our
performance by analysts;
• the activities of competitors and suppliers;
• future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our Shareholders;
• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
• investor perceptions of our future performance, adverse media reports about us or our sector;
• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles;
91• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;
• developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations; and
• the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.
A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
General or industry specific market conditions or stock performance or domestic or international macroeconomic
and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance may also affect the price of our Equity Shares. In particular,
the stock market as a whole in the past has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected
the market price of many companies in ways that may have been unrelated to the companies’ operating
performances. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future share prices, results
of operations or cash flow and financial condition.
73. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares
in an Indian company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied both at the time
of transfer and acquisition of the equity shares (unless exempted under a prescribed notification), and the STT is
collected by an Indian stock exchange on which the equity shares are sold. Any capital gain realized on the sale
of listed equity shares on a recognised stock exchange held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the
date of transfer will be subject to long term capital gains in India at the specified rates depending on certain factors,
such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the recognised stock exchanges, the quantum of gains, and any
available treaty relief.
The Government of India announced the union budget for Financial Year 2025-2026, following which the Finance
Bill, 2025 (“Finance Bill”) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2025. Subsequently, the Finance Bill
received the assent from the President of India and became the Finance Act, 2025, with effect from April 1, 2025
as amended by the Finance Act (No.2), (“Finance Act”). As per the Finance Act, in case of domestic company,
the rate of income-tax shall be 25% of the total income, if the total turnover or gross receipts of the previous year
2023-24 does not exceed ₹ 400 crores and where the companies continue in Section 115BA regime. In all other
cases the rate of income-tax shall be 30% of the total income. However, domestic companies also have an option
to opt for taxation under section 115BAA of the Act on fulfilment of conditions contained therein. The rate of
income-tax rate is 22% under section 115BAA, having a surcharge at 10% on such tax. Investors are advised to
consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or
trading in the Equity Shares.
For tax deduction on securities, the Finance Act increases the limit in relation to the amount or the aggregate of
amounts of income by way of interest on securities from ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 10,000. With regard to the requirement of
no tax being liable to be deducted on dividend, the Finance Act has increased limit on amount of dividend earned
from ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 10,000.
The Income Tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”) was amended to provide domestic companies an option to pay corporate
income tax at the effective rate of 25.17% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and health and education cess), as
compared to an effective rate of 34.94% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and health and education cess),
provided such companies do not claim certain specified deductions or exemptions. Further, where a company has
opted to pay the reduced corporate tax rate, the minimum alternate tax provisions would not be applicable. Any
such future amendments may affect our ability to claim exemptions that we have historically benefited from, and
such exemptions may no longer be available to us. Additionally, the Union Cabinet, Government of India has
recently approved the Income Tax Bill, 2025 which inter alia, proposes to amend the income tax regime and
replace the Income Tax Act, 1961. There is no certainty on the impact of the Income Tax Bill, 2025, once enacted,
on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
or on the industry in which we operate.
In the past, the distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax
(“DDT”), in the hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess).
Such dividends were generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, under the Finance Act
2020, any dividends paid by an Indian company will be subject to tax in the hands of the shareholders at applicable
rates. Such taxes will be withheld by the Indian company paying dividends. Further, the Finance Act, 2021, which
followed, removed the requirement for DDT to be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by
92a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, such dividends would not be exempt in the hands of
the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident. Non-resident shareholders may claim benefit of the
applicable tax treaty, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Our Company may or may not grant the benefit
of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident Shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source
pursuant to any corporate action, including dividends. Any business income realized from the transfer of Equity
Shares held as trading assets is taxable at the applicable tax rates subject to any treaty relief, if applicable, to a
non-resident seller.
We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Unfavorable changes in or interpretations
of existing laws, rules and regulations, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign
investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in
contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
74. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they
purchase in the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions must
be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence. Investors’
book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited with the Equity
Shares within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges.
The Allotment and transfer of Equity Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s
demat account with depository participant could take approximately three Working Days from the Bid Closing
Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock Exchanges
is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid Closing Date. There could be a failure or delay
in the listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval or
otherwise any delay in commencing trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of
their Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts,
or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could
also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or
demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time periods.
75. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us
may dilute your shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by shareholders with significant shareholding
may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us,
including a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares including
through exercise of employee stock options, may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company.
Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our shareholders may adversely affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising
capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our
major shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum
public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through
offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity
Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares or that our Shareholders will not dispose of,
pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your
investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur
may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
76. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, the Book
Running Lead Managers, or any of their directors and executive officers in India respectively, except by
way of a lawsuit in India.
Our Company is a company incorporated under the laws of India and majority of our Directors are located in
India. A majority of our assets, all of our Key Managerial Personnel and officers are also located in India. As a
result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon our Company or such persons in
jurisdictions outside India, or to enforce judgments obtained against such parties outside India. Furthermore, it is
unlikely that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments if that court was of the view that the amount of
93damages awarded was excessive or inconsistent with public policy, or if judgments are in breach or contrary to
Indian law. In addition, a party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain approval from
the RBI to execute such a judgment or to repatriate outside India any amounts recovered.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13 and Section 44A of the Code
of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“CPC”). India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or
enforcement of foreign judgments. India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and
commercial matters with only a limited number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, United Arab
Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. In order to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity
must meet certain requirements established in the CPC. The CPC only permits the enforcement and execution of
monetary decrees in the reciprocating jurisdiction, not being in the nature of any amounts payable in respect of
taxes, other charges, fines or penalties. Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal
recognition with India, including the United States, cannot be enforced by proceedings in India. Therefore, a final
judgment for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability,
whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be directly
enforceable in India. The party in whose favour a final foreign judgment in a non-reciprocating territory is
rendered may bring a fresh suit in a competent court in India based on the final judgment within three years of
obtaining such final judgment. However, it is unlikely that a court in India would award damages on the same
basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India or that an Indian court would enforce foreign judgments
if it viewed the amount of damages as excessive or inconsistent with the public policy in India. Further, there is
no assurance that a suit brought in an Indian court in relation to a foreign judgment will be disposed of in a timely
manner. In addition, any person seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain the prior
approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount recovered, and we cannot assure that such approval will be
forthcoming within a reasonable period of time, or at all, or that conditions of such approval would be acceptable.
Such an amount may also be subject to income tax in accordance with applicable law.
77. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract
foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and
reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in
compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to
above, then a prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee
proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require
a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. As provided in the foreign
exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at which the Equity Shares are
transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing methodology for the valuation of
shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable) price per share may not be permitted. We
cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be
obtained on any particular terms, or at all. Further, due to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals,
investors in the equity shares may be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting
losses during periods of price decline.
The Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of the
Equity Shares will be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into appropriate foreign currency for
repatriation. In addition, any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from
a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required
for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the net proceeds received by shareholders.
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has
been incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, all investments under the foreign
direct investment route by entities of a country sharing a land border with India or where the beneficial owner of
the Equity Shares is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only be made through the Government
approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. While
the term “beneficial owner” is defined under the Prevention of Money-Laundering (Maintenance of Records)
Rules, 2005 and the General Financial Rules, 2017, neither the foreign direct investment policy nor the FEMA
Rules provide a definition of the term “beneficial owner”. The interpretation of “beneficial owner” and
enforcement of this regulatory change involves certain uncertainties, which may have an adverse effect on our
ability to raise foreign capital. Further, there is uncertainty regarding the timeline within which the said approval
94from the GoI may be obtained, if at all.
We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be
obtained on any particular terms or at all. For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of
Indian Securities” on page 543.
78. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after the submission of their Bid, and Retail Individual
Bidders are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after closure of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are required to pay the Bid Amount
on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders can revise their Bids
during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. While we are required to
complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock
Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days
from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the
investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary
policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial
condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment.
Retail Individual Bidders can revise their Bids during the Bid / Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid /
Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and
commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed
to be listed including Allotment pursuant to the Offer within three Working Days from the Bid / Offer Closing
Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including material adverse changes in
international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of
operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment.
We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the
Investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity
Shares to decline on listing.
79. Investors may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby
may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of
equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their
existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have
been waived by adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such
resolution.
However, if the law of the jurisdiction the investors are in, does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive
rights without our Company filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in
such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless our Company makes such
a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may
sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of such securities and
the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise
pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in our Company
would be reduced. In addition, Investors may suffer continued risk of dilution if shareholders pass special
resolutions for preferential issues or take any other similar actions.
80. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and
IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our
financial condition.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information are derived from our audited financial statements as at and for
the years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, prepared in accordance with Ind AS, and
restated in accordance with requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of Companies Act, SEBI ICDR
Regulations and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019)” issued by ICAI. Ind
AS differs in certain significant respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which
95prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. If our financial statements were to be prepared in
accordance with such other accounting principles, our results of operations, cash flows and financial position may
be substantially different. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation
of our financial statements, and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences
between these accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons
not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus should be limited accordingly.
81. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity
of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may
differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law
may not be as extensive and wide-spread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder of our Company than as a shareholder of an
entity in another jurisdiction.
82. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post the Offer, because of anti-takeover
provisions under Indian law.
As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or
change in control of our Company. Under the SEBI Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any
person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company,
whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure
that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from
attempting to take control of our Company subsequent to completion of the Offer. Consequently, even if a
potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market
price or would otherwise be beneficial to our Shareholders, such a takeover may not be attempted or consummated
because of SEBI Takeover Regulations.

* The amounts in the table above are inclusive of applicable taxes.
All quotations received from the contractors/ vendors mentioned above are valid as on the date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. We have not entered into any definitive agreements with the contractor/ vendor and there can be
no assurance that the same contractor/ vendor would be engaged eventually to supply the requisite equipment/ fit-outs
or supply at the same costs. Further, the quantity of equipment/ fit-outs to be purchased is based on the present
estimates of our management. We shall have the flexibility to deploy such equipment/ fit-outs according to the
business requirements. If there is any increase in the costs of equipment/ fit-outs, the additional costs shall be paid by
our Company from its internal accruals or through debts to be availed from lenders.
In addition, we, from time to time, acquire and takeover operations at existing clinics run by hospitals, non-profits, or
other private providers looking to outsource their dialysis operations as part of our brownfield operations. In certain
such cases, the Company may utilize the existing equipment at the acquired brownfield clinics where feasible in place
of acquiring new equipment from contractors/vendors, especially in cases where such existing equipment are reusable
and in working condition. Such equipment from existing clinics may be acquired at lower cost and as a consequence,
the cost of setting up clinics in such locations may, in certain cases, be lower than estimated. At this point, our
Company is yet to identify the exact locations for setting up the Company New Dialysis Clinics and we are
accordingly, unable to ascertain which existing equipment shall be acquired, and from which brownfield clinic, if at
all. Should we be able to acquire existing equipment at lower costs, we may utilize the remaining unutilized funds
towards opening of additional clinics or purchase of additional equipment.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, as indicated above, we are yet to identify the exact locations or
enter into agreements for lease of suitable properties for setting up the Company New Dialysis Clinics towards which
we intend to utilize the amount from Net Proceeds. Our entry into new geographies within India is typically guided
by a comprehensive assessment of addressable market potential, demographic trends, projected patient footfalls,
infrastructure readiness, commercial viability, lease rentals, and other strategic considerations such as brand visibility
and potential to expand our customer base. We may open new dialysis clinics in geographies such as in the states of
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Telangana, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir,
Bihar, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Karnataka, and Odisha.
However, these locations are only indicative in nature and will be determined in accordance with the annual business
plan of our Company which will be approved by our Board of Directors. Further, the format, size and the number of
Company New Dialysis Clinics to be set up, may vary across regions and is dependent on various factors such as
availability of suitable locations, addressable market, lease rentals, economic viability and competition within a given
region or across regions. The final site selection for each clinic will be based on a thorough analysis of patient
demographics, estimated demand, infrastructure feasibility, and market dynamics prior to deployment, in order to
ensure that our expansion is both commercially viable and aligned with our goal of increasing accessibility to high-
quality dialysis care across India.
168Our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel do not have any interest in
the aforesaid object or in the entities from whom we have obtained quotations in relation to such proposed expenses.
Government Approvals
For the Company New Dialysis Clinics proposed to be developed as greenfield clinics outside hospital premises, our
Company will be required to obtain the applicable registrations and approvals in its own name. This includes
registration under the respective shops and establishments legislations and/or trade licences from municipalities of the
states where they will be set up. The greenfield Company New Dialysis Clinics may also be required to obtain inter
alia, registration certificate for clinical establishment under the relevant state legislations or the Clinical
Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, and consents to operate from the State Pollution Control
Board, as applicable. Our Company will apply for the relevant approvals in due course and in accordance with
applicable laws. In respect of Company New Dialysis Clinics that are proposed to be set up as brownfield clinics in
collaboration with our partners within hospital premises (i.e., captive centres), the responsibility for obtaining the
aforesaid statutory registrations and operational approvals will be of the respective third-party hospital partners, as per
the terms of our operating arrangements entered into with them. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies
in India” and “Government and Other Approvals” on pages 306 and 491, respectively.
2. Prepayment or scheduled re-payment, in full or part, of certain outstanding borrowings availed by our

* In accordance with Clause 9(A)(2)(b) of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Agarwal and Ladda, Chartered Accountants, bearing firm registration number 012510S, have given a
certification that the loans have been utilised for the purpose for which it was availed, pursuant to certificate dated July 25, 2025.
**In accordance with Clause 9(A)(2)(b) of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Statutory Auditors have given a certification that the loans have been utilised for the purpose for which
it was availed from April 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025, pursuant to certificate dated July 25, 2025.
170We believe that the pre-payment or scheduled repayment of a portion of certain outstanding borrowings availed
by us will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness and debt servicing costs, assist us in maintaining a favourable
debt to equity ratio and enable utilisation of our internal accruals for further investment in business growth and
expansion.
The selection of borrowings proposed to be prepaid or repaid, as set out in the table above, is based on various
factors including (i) any condition (including prepayment related conditions) attached to the borrowings restricting
our ability to prepay the borrowings, (ii) cost of the borrowings including the interest rate on the loans and/or
facilities, (iii) the amount outstanding, (iv) the remaining tenor of the loan, (v) provisions of any laws, rules and
regulations governing such borrowings, and (vi) any other commercial considerations, as our Board of Directors
may deem appropriate. Payment of additional interest, if any, and other related costs shall be made by us out of
the internal accruals or out of the Net Proceeds as may be decided by our Company.
Given the nature of the borrowings and the terms of repayment or prepayment, the aggregate outstanding amounts
under the borrowings may vary from time to time and our Company may, in accordance with the relevant
repayment schedule, repay or refinance some of its existing borrowings prior to Allotment. Further, the amounts
outstanding under the borrowings as well as the sanctioned limits are dependent on several factors and may vary
with the business cycle of our Company with multiple intermediate repayments, drawdowns and enhancement of
sanctioned limits. Furthermore, our Company may also avail additional borrowings after the date of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus and/or draw down further funds under existing loans from time to time. Accordingly, in
case any of the below loans are pre-paid or further drawn-down prior to the completion of the Offer, we may
utilize the Net Proceeds towards repayment / pre-payment of such additional indebtedness. In light of the above,
if at the time of filing the Red Herring Prospectus, any of the identified loans are repaid in part or full or refinanced
or if any additional credit facilities are availed or drawn down and if the terms of new loans are more onerous than
the older loans or if the limits under the working capital borrowings are increased, then the disclosure above shall
be suitably revised to reflect the revised amounts or loans as the case may be which have been availed by our
Company.
For the purposes of the Offer, our Company has intimated and has obtained necessary consents from its lenders,
as is respectively required under the relevant facility documentation for undertaking activities in relation to this
Offer, including consequent actions, such as change in the capital structure, change in shareholding pattern of our
Company, amendment to the Articles of Association of our Company, etc, and as well was waiver for payment of
prepayment charges arising out of such loans.
Our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management do not have any interest in the
proposed prepayment or scheduled repayment of the aforementioned outstanding borrowings availed by our
Company.
3. General corporate purposes
The Net Proceeds will first be utilized for the Objects as set out above. Subject to this, our Company intends to
deploy any balance left out of the Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes, as approved by our
management, from time to time, subject to such utilization for general corporate purposes not exceeding 25% of
the amount raised by our Company.

determined by our Board, based on the business requirements of our Company and other relevant considerations,
from time to time. Our Company’s management shall have flexibility in authorize surplus amounts, if any.

basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the Book Building Process and on
the basis of the quantitative and qualitative factors described below. The face value of the Equity Shares is ₹2
each and the Offer Price is [●] times the face value at the lower end of the Price Band and [●] times the face value
at the higher end of the Price Band.
Investors should also refer to the sections “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”, “Financial Information” and

Qualitative Factors
Some of the qualitative factors and our strengths which form the basis for computing the Offer Price are:
• We are India’s largest dialysis service provider in terms of number of patients served, clinics, cities covered,
treatments performed, revenue, and EBITDA (excluding other income) in Fiscal 2025, and it is 4.4 times the
size of the next largest organized dialysis provider in India in terms of operating revenue in Fiscal 2024.
(Source: F&S Report) We are also the largest dialysis service provider in Asia in 2025 and the fifth largest
globally based on the number of treatments performed in Fiscal 2025. (Source: F&S Report)
• We have scaled our operations from one clinic in India in 2010 to 490 clinics, across India, Nepal, the
Philippines and Uzbekistan as of March 31, 2025 and have a well-diversified network with presence in 302
cities. Our expansion strategy includes greenfield and brownfield operations, along with PPP collaborations,
allowing us to scale efficiently and cater to diverse patient needs. We operate an asset-light business model,
ensuring that the establishment and operation of our clinics incur lower costs compared to other healthcare
services, such as tertiary care or other single-specialty services such as eye care, in-vitro fertilisation etc.
(Source: F&S Report).
• We have been able to drive such clinical outcomes through our consistent focus on quality. Our protocol-led
approach plays a crucial role in improving the average life expectancy.
• Our approach to acquisitions is process-driven and structured. We undertake a comprehensive evaluation of
potential targets based on parameters such as patient volumes, quality of infrastructure, clinical outcomes,
regulatory compliance, and operational synergies. Identified opportunities undergo financial, operational, and
legal due diligence, and are reviewed by an internal investment committee prior to approval. Post-acquisition,
integration is managed by a dedicated team to ensure alignment with our standard operating protocols,
centralized procurement systems, and reporting frameworks, thereby enabling operational efficiency and
scalability.
• We are led by our founder, one of our Promoters and Chairman and Managing Director, Vikram Vuppala,
and our co-founder, Kamal D. Shah, who have extensive experience in the healthcare industry. Vikram
Vuppala brings over 21 years of experience. Further, our leadership is backed by an experienced management
team that has healthcare industry experience in renal care.
• We recognize that sustainability is integral to our mission of delivering high-quality, reliable, and innovative
healthcare solutions. Our focus towards patient care extends to a comprehensive approach to ESG initiatives.
• Over the years, we have demonstrated consistent financial performance, growing in each year since
commencing our operations.

Description on the historic use of the key performance indicators by us to analyze, track or monitor our
operational and/or financial performance
180In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as stated above, as a supplemental measure to review
and assess our financial performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for the Restated Consolidated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to evaluate our financial
performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with Ind AS.
These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information used
by other companies and hence their comparability may be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be
considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our
operating performance, liquidity or results of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of performance
calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our management believes that it provides an
additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our
financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides consistency and comparability with past
financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
Investors are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or
operational metric to evaluate our business.
Comparison of our key performance indicators with our listed industry peers
The following table provides a comparison of our KPIs with those of our peer group. The peer group has been
determined on the basis of companies listed on Indian stock exchanges, whose business profile is comparable to
our businesses in terms of our size and our business model:

taxes (together the “Tax Laws”), presently in force in India as on the signing date, which are defined in Annexure
II (List of Direct and Indirect Tax Laws (‘Tax Laws’)) prepared by the Company, initialed by us for
identification purpose. These possible special tax benefits are dependent on the Company and its shareholders

of the tax consequences and the changing Tax Laws, each investor is advised to consult his or her own tax
consultant with respect to the specific tax implications arising out of their participation in the proposed initial
public offering of equity shares of the Company (the “Proposed Offer”) particularly in view of the fact that
certain recently enacted legislation may not have a direct legal precedent or may have a different interpretation on
the possible special tax benefits, which an investor can avail. Neither we are suggesting nor advising the investors
to invest money based on the Statement.
We conducted our examination in accordance with the Guidance Note on Reports or Certificates for Special

or
ii) the conditions prescribed for availing the possible special tax benefits where applicable, have
been/would be met with.
189The contents of the enclosed Annexures are based on the information, explanation and representations obtained

be liable to the Company and any other person in respect of this report, except as per applicable law.

STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE SPECIAL TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO NEPHROCARE HEALTH
SERVICES LIMITED (“THE COMPANY”) AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE APPLICABLE
DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAXES (“TAX LAWS”)
Outlined below are the Possible Special Tax Benefits available to the Company and its shareholders under the
Tax Laws. These Possible Special Tax Benefits are dependent on the Company and its shareholders fulfilling the
conditions prescribed under the Tax Laws. Hence, the ability of the Company and its shareholders to derive the
Possible Special Tax Benefits is dependent upon fulfilling such conditions, which are based on business
imperatives it faces in the future, it may or may not choose to fulfill.
Under Direct Tax Laws Income-tax Act, 1961 (“the IT Act”) and Income-tax Rules, 1962 (“Income Tax
Rules)]
A. Possible Special direct tax benefits available to the Company
1. Lower corporate tax rate under section 115BAA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’)
The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 introduced section 115BAA wherein domestic companies
are entitled to avail a concessional tax rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and cess) on fulfillment of
certain conditions. The option to apply this tax rate was available from Financial Year (‘FY’) 2019-20
relevant to Assessment Year (‘AY’) 2020-21 and the option once exercised shall apply to subsequent
AYs. The concessional rate is subject to a company not availing any of the following deductions under
the provisions of the Act:
• Section10AA: Tax holiday available to units in a Special Economic Zone.
• Section 32(1)(iia): Additional depreciation;
• Section 32AD: Investment allowance.
• Section 33AB/3ABA: Tea coffee rubber development expenses/site restoration expenses
• Section 35(1)/35(2AA)/ 35(2AB): Expenditure on scientific research.
• Section 35AD: Deduction for capital expenditure incurred on specified businesses.
• Section 35CCC/35CCD: expenditure on agricultural extension /skill development.
• Chapter VI-A except for the provisions of section 80JJAA and section 80M.
The total income of a company availing the concessional rate of 25.168% (i.e., 22% along with surcharge
and health and education cess) is required to be computed without set-off of any carried forward loss and
depreciation attributable to any of the aforesaid deductions/incentives. A company can exercise the option
to apply for the concessional tax rate in its return of income filed under section 139(1) of the Act. Further,
provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT’) under section 115JB of the IT Act shall not be applicable
to companies availing this reduced tax rate, thus, any carried forward MAT credit also cannot be claimed.
The provisions do not specify any limitation/condition on account of turnover, nature of business or date
of incorporation for opting for the concessional tax rate. Accordingly, all existing as well as new domestic
companies are eligible to avail this concessional rate of tax.
We understand that the Company has opted for section 115BAA of the IT Act for the financial year 2024-
25 (AY 2025-26).
2. Deduction in respect of inter - corporate dividends section 80M of the Act
Up to 31st March 2020, any dividend paid to a shareholder by a company was liable to Dividend
Distribution Tax (“DDT”), and the recipient shareholder was exempt from tax. Pursuant to the amendment
made by the Finance Act, 2020, DDT stands abolished, and dividend received by a shareholder on or after
1st April, 2020 is liable to tax in the the hands of the shareholder. The Company is required to deduct Tax
Deducted at Source (“TDS”) at applicable rate specified under the Act read with applicable Double
Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any).
191With respect to a resident corporate shareholder, a new section 80M has been inserted in the IT Act to
remove the cascading effect of taxes on inter-corporate dividends during FY 2020-21 and thereafter. The
section provides that where the gross total income of a domestic company in any previous year includes
any income by way of dividends from any other domestic company or a foreign company or a business
trust, there shall, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this section, be allowed in computing
the total income of such domestic company, a deduction of an amount equal to so much of the amount of
income by way of dividends received from such other domestic company or foreign company or business
trust as does not exceed the amount of dividend distributed by it on or before the due date. The “due date”
means the date one month prior to the date for furnishing the return of income under sub-section (1) of
section 139 of the IT Act.
We understand that the Company has not availed the benefit of section 80M for the Financial Year 2024-
25 (Assessment Year 2025-26).
3. Deduction in respect of employment of new employees – Section 80JJAA of the IT Act.
Section 80JJAA of the Act provides tax incentives for employment generation and provides for deduction
from income from business of an assessee for the employment of new employees by the assessee. The
employment cost eligible for these deductions should meet the following conditions:
• The gross total income of an assessee includes profits and gains derived from business to which section
44AB applies.
• The business is not formed by splitting up / reconstruction of an existing business or acquired by
transfer from any other person or as a result of any business reorganization.
• In the case of an existing business, there must be an increase in the number of employees from the total
number of the employees employed as on the last day of the preceding year
Deduction under the aforementioned section shall be available in respect of total emoluments paid/payable
to all additional employees in the aggregate provided that each additional employee –
• is in receipt of total emoluments not more than INR 25,000 per month;
• has been in the employment for a period not less than 240 days during the previous year (subject to the
condition that where an employee is in the employment for less than 240 days but is employed for the
period of 240 days of more in the immediately succeeding year, he shall be deemed to be employed in
the succeeding year and the provisions of Section 80JJAA shall apply accordingly.
• Participates in the recognized provident fund and the entire contribution is not paid by the Government
under EPF scheme
• Emoluments are not paid to the additional employees otherwise than by an account-payee cheque or
account payee bank or by use of electronic clearing system through bank account.
This deduction is provided in order to promote employment generation in the country. This deduction, if
claimed, can provide a deduction of 90% of the expenses incurred towards emoluments paid to the
additional employees (such deduction of 90% is in addition to deductions of business expenses). Such
deduction is available for three consecutive assessment years including the assessment year relevant to the
previous year in which such additional employment was provided.
We understand that the Company has not availed the benefit of section 80JJAA for the Financial Year
2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26).
4. Deduction under Section 35D – Specified Preliminary Expenditure (Public Issue Expenses):
Section 35D of Income Tax Act provides for Amortisation of preliminary expenses. As per Section 35D,
any expenditure incurred before the commencement of operation of specified business or for expansion of
existing business or setting up a new undertaking then such expenditure is allowable as a deduction under
the income tax in 5 equal annual instalments subject to the fulfilment of different conditions given under
the Income Tax Act.
We understand that the Company has claimed deduction under section 35D of Income Tax Act,1961 during
financial Year 2024-25(Assessment Year 2025-26).
5. Carry Forward and Set-off of Capital Losses and Unabsorbed Depreciation:
192As per Section 70(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, where the computation made under Sections 48 to 55
for any assessment year results in a short-term capital loss, the assessee is entitled to set off such loss
against capital gains, if any, arising from any other capital asset for the same assessment year.
Further, Section 70(3) provides that where the computation results in a loss from a capital asset other than
a short-term capital asset (i.e., a long-term capital asset), such loss may be set off only against income from
other long-term capital assets computed under similar provisions for that assessment year.
In addition, under Section 71(3), where the net result under the head "Capital Gains" for any assessment
year is a loss, such loss cannot be set off against income under any other head of income for that year.
Under Section 74(1), where the computation under the head "Capital Gains" results in a loss to the assessee
in any assessment year, the entire loss shall, subject to other provisions of the Chapter, be carried forward
to the next assessment year. It shall be treated as follows:
a) Short-term capital losses shall be set off against capital gains, if any, from any capital asset.
b) Long-term capital losses shall be set off only against capital gains from other long-term capital assets.
c) If the loss is not fully set off, the remaining amount shall be carried forward to subsequent assessment
years.
Finally, Section 74(2) stipulates that such carried forward capital losses may not be carried forward for
more than eight assessment years succeeding the assessment year in which the loss was first incurred.
In addition, Section 32(2) governs unabsorbed depreciation. If full effect cannot be given to the

GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC AND HEALTHCARE OVERVIEW
Global GDP Outlook
The global GDP is estimated to grow from USD 110.5 trillion in 2024 to USD 137.8 trillion in 2029. Notably,
there is a forecasted global GDP growth rate of 4.5% from 2024 to 2029 due to factors such as easing inflationary
pressures and less restrictive monetary policies, and an increase in household income, private consumption and
private investments. The global economy continues to display clear signs of resilience with moderate GDP growth
despite persistent inflation, trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainties.
Global GDP Growth
Global GDP growth is showing signs of rebound following the Covid-19 pandemic; with short-term
sluggishness attributed to geopolitical and financial challenges expected to give way to stronger long-term
growth.
World, Advanced Economies, Emerging Markets, and Developing Economies
Emerging economies1 will be the beacon of growth, outpacing GDP growth in advanced economies1.
The confluence of supply chain disruptions caused due to geopolitical scenarios such as the Russia- Ukraine and
Israel- Palestine conflict has resulted in significant disruptions in markets, sparking a substantial inflationary surge
and exacerbating a cost-of-living crisis. Moreover, trade wars through tariff hikes by the US and other countries
1 https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/weo-database/2024/April/groups-and-aggregates
214could have a multifaceted economic impact, with the World Bank identifying several key consequences, including
increased risks to global growth, inflation concerns, and disruptions in trade and investment networks. However,
it is expected to impact only selected geographies such as China, certain south-east Asian countries and Europe.
In response, many nations have adopted stricter monetary policies, which, while moderating GDP growth, are still
propelling it forward. This anticipated rise is buoyed by emerging markets and developing economies, which are
expected to achieve a CAGR of 5.4% from 2024 to 2029. Several factors contribute to this GDP growth, including
increased private consumption, elevated corporate expenditures, favorable demographics, strengthened balance
sheets, improved macroeconomic stability reducing the need for policymakers to tighten monetary policies, and
structural policy reforms.
Conversely, advanced economies are anticipated to record a comparatively more modest CAGR of 3.8% between
2024 and 2029. Nevertheless, this marks an improvement from past figures, driven by positive employment
prospects in the United States and rising consumption trends in Europe. This optimistic long-term economic
outlook is poised to stimulate global investments and bolster demand in vital sectors, such as healthcare.
G7 Countries and key Emerging Market Countries
Emerging economies like Asia, particularly India have higher GDP growth in comparison to advanced
economies of G72.
Apart from Sub-Saharan Africa and the ASEAN 53, India and China are emerging as two of the largest and
swiftest-growing economies. Notably, India’s growth rate between 2018 and 2024 was higher than most of the
major economies, except China, Mexico and the US, and India's projected GDP growth between 2024 and 2029
is nearly 1.7 times of China, 2.3 times of the US, 3.1 times of Germany, 1.8 times of UK, 3.6 times of Italy and
3.3 times of France.
India's resilience amid the pandemic, coupled with emerging geopolitical trends such as the "China plus one"
strategy, thrusts it into the spotlight. Meanwhile, China contends with challenges stemming from a vulnerable
property sector, geopolitical uncertainties, and waning export momentum, projecting a growth rate of 5.5% from
2024 to 2029. India's GDP at current prices reached USD 3.9 trillion in 2024 and is anticipated to climb to USD
6.1 trillion by 2029, maintaining a strong CAGR of 9.5% from 2024 to 2029.
As a result, India is poised to ascend as the world's third-largest economy by 2027, surpassing Japan and Germany,
with a GDP surpassing USD 5 trillion. India, with its strong growth projection of 9.5% between 2024 and 2029,
aims to achieve developed economy status by 2047.4 This growth surge is fueled by escalating domestic demand,
substantial government and private global investments, increasing government and private spending in sectors

215such as healthcare, manufacturing and retail, reinforced global ties and reforms centered around Atmanirbhar
Bharat, and a flourishing micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) sector.
Economies such as the Philippines and Uzbekistan are also on track for robust growth. Compared to India and
China, the smaller size and population of other emerging economies make them less attractive for substantial
investments. In Contrast, the G7 nations5, characterized by mature economies, concentrated markets, and ageing
populations, confront limited growth prospects. These economies are deeply affected by global banking
uncertainties, tariff wars, ongoing conflicts (Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine), and tighter monetary policies,
emphasizing the dynamic shift toward rapidly growing emerging and developing Asian economies.

GDP per Capita
Economic growth is also evident in the rising GDP per capita, an indirect indicator of improved
affordability
Economic growth is also reflected in the increasing GDP per capita, a pivotal metric for gauging economic
prosperity, as it provides insights into the average income and subsequent spending capacity per individual. The
growth of GDP per capita was higher in India between 2018 and 2024 compared to most of the major economies,
and the country is expected to have the highest per capita GDP growth of 8.6% compared to the major economies
in the forecast years. Following India, countries such as Uzbekistan and the Philippines are expected to witness a
high GDP.

Japan, and the United Kingdom, which focuses on global economic and political issues.
216Growth Drivers for India’s GDP
India’s unique demographic dividend and commendatory reforms are accelerating economic growth.
Demographic Advantage
India not only holds the distinction of being the world's most populous nation but also possesses a uniquely
expanding working-age demographic, which stands in sharp contrast to many regions facing ageing and shrinking
working populations. As of 2024, more than half of India's population (58.0%) belonged to the working age group
of 25 to 64 years, showing an increase from 44.1% in 2010, and this percentage is projected to rise further to
64.0% by 2029.6 India's youthful population presents a significant competitive advantage in terms of labor force
availability. Moreover, the country's large pool of graduates, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) fields, proficient in English, distinguishes India from other nations. This advantage
proves especially beneficial in skill-intensive industries such as medical device research and development (R&D)
and manufacturing. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and rising income levels of the working population will
stimulate demand for goods and services, further propelling growth. India’s Per capita income has more than
tripled from ₹ 46,492 in 2010 to 155,892 in 2024. The projected increase in urban population (36.0% in 2024 to
40.0% in 2029) and per capita income (₹ 155,892 in 2024 to ₹ 239,859 in 2029) will propel the growth of GDP.

Positive Government Reforms
From economic to structural reforms, the government’s initiatives have bolstered investment and
streamlined growth across several sectors, most notably the healthcare sector.
Government Reforms for Manufacturing Sector
Historically, manufacturing contributed between 13% and 16% to the country's GDP. With a focus on boosting
manufacturing across sectors including automotive, engineering, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices,
and consumer durables through initiatives like the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, PM Gati Shakti-
National Master Plan (NMP), and industrial development schemes in states with industrial backwardness, the
manufacturing sector is expected to contribute above 20% of the country’s GDP by 2030 from the current 14.0%
in 2024.7 These reforms are anticipated to concurrently enhance India's Business Environment Rankings (BER),
6 UN Population Division
7 Economic times
217particularly in infrastructure improvement, from the 14th position in the 2018 to 2022 period to the 10th position
in the 2023 to 2027 period, positioning India ahead of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
FDI Policy
India has been steadily enhancing its Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies to foster a more favorable
investment environment through simplified procedures, sectoral reforms, digital initiatives, Intellectual Property
Rights (IPR) Protection, Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), and attractive incentives. The Government’s 100%
FDI approval for the Hospital and Medical Device industry under the automatic route for both brownfield and
greenfield setups (introduced in 2015) has led to the growth in the Healthcare industry. India's healthcare sector,
particularly hospitals, has witnessed a surge in foreign direct investment, reaching USD 1.5 billion in Fiscal 2024.
Emergence of Public Insurance Coverage and Integration of Public and Private Healthcare Delivery Sectors
The Government of India is working towards addressing the demand and supply gap across the healthcare sector
in insurance, manufacturing, and healthcare delivery services through the expansion of public insurance coverage
and integration of public and private healthcare delivery sector (Increased government interventions with PM-
JAY coverage, access, and upgradations). Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have become a major driver of
healthcare reforms and development in India, particularly in the context of expanding healthcare access and
improving quality. The PPP model leverages the strengths of both the public and private sectors, enabling the
development of infrastructure, delivery of services, and implementation of programs that might not be feasible
solely through government efforts. PPPs are increasingly used in healthcare, particularly for specialized services
like dialysis and eye care, diagnostics, and also the management of PHCs to address infrastructure gaps and
improve access.
Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)
The PM-JAY scheme under Ayushman Bharat, launched in 2018, is the world's largest health insurance, providing
access to 12 crore families with ₹ 5 Lakh health cover per family to avail healthcare services in secondary and
tertiary care hospitals (in both public and private sectors). There are approximately 70 crore beneficiaries under
the scheme. In September 2024, the union government expanded the coverage to all senior citizens aged
70, regardless of their income. This expansion is set to benefit around 4.5 crore families, including 6 crore senior
citizens. By 2047, IRDAI aims to achieve “Insurance for All”, and PM-JAY is an integral part of that program.
IRDAI’s efforts to drive insurance penetration is likely to help India move to the top 5 countries in the global
insurance market in terms of revenues by 2047.
Disposable Income in India
India’s total disposable personal income increased to ₹ 296 trillion in 2023 from ₹ 192 trillion in 2018 growing at
a CAGR of 9%.8 The total disposable personal income is estimated to reach ₹ 353 trillion in 2026.
8 Trading Economics, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation
218The Indian population is accelerating its transition from the low-income segment to upper-middle and high-
income segments. While India’s Upper-middle and High-income class population is expected to have
positive growth from 2021 to 2029 (5% and 12%), the Low-income and Lower-middle income population
is expected to decline (-9% and --3%).

Global Ageing population
Globally, people are living longer. Most people nowadays can anticipate living well into their sixties and beyond.
Both the number and percentage of older people in the population are rising in every nation on the planet. One in
six individuals on the planet will be 60 years of age or older by 2030. At this point, there will be 1.4 billion people
over the age of 65, up from 1 billion in 2020. The number of individuals in the world who are 60 years of age or
older is expected to double (to 2.1 billion) by 2050. It is anticipated that between 2020 and 2050, the number of
people 80 years of age or older will triple, reaching 426 million. The proportion of the world's population over 60
years will nearly double from 12% in 2015 to 22% in 2050.9 China, India, US, Japan, and Russia are the top 5
countries with largest number of older adults.10
Global Current Healthcare Expenditure
Government policies, economic conditions, healthcare reforms, and personal awareness have
increased healthcare spending.
The global Current Healthcare Expenditure (CHE) per capita and CHE as a percentage of GDP are on an upward
trajectory with rising economies, increased accessibility and affordability, advances in medical technology,
growing prevalence of chronic diseases, ageing population, post-pandemic behavioral changes, and heightened
focus on wellness and self-medication. Based on the latest available data from WHO, from 2017 to 2022, the
global CHE per Capita increased at a CAGR of 4.0% and the CHE as a percentage of GDP increased from 6.5%
to 7.0% in 2022.
9 WHO, Ageing and Health
10 Population Reference Bureau, United Nations Population Division, World Population Prospects 2019
219A country's total CHE is contributed by various financing sources such as Government sources, Household out-
of-pocket payments, Voluntary healthcare payment schemes, and other financing schemes. Globally, nearly
76.0% of healthcare expenditure is contributed by government sources. Nearly 17.0% of healthcare expenditure
is paid out-of-pocket, reflecting a significant financial burden borne by individuals and households. Voluntary
healthcare payment schemes such as prepaid insurance contribute only 7.0% of the total healthcare expenditure.
Growth drivers for rising Healthcare Expenditure
Healthcare expenditure has been growing consistently and considerably for the last five decades by around 4 per
cent since 1970. The major drivers for rising healthcare expenditures are increased access to healthcare, increasing
health insurance adoption, prevalence of chronic diseases, and precision medicine and next-generation
diagnostics.
Increased access to healthcare: The WHO launched the UHC (Universal Healthcare Coverage) more than three
decades ago with the program focusing on ensuring essential healthcare services are available to all citizens
without creating financial hardship. The success of the program has translated into more governments’ increased
investment in their healthcare infrastructure and favorable policy reforms to increase coverage that have led to
better quality and accessibility to healthcare services to its citizens. Access to vaccines and generics, particularly
in the low-to-mid income countries, have also risen owing to programs from global bodies such as GAVI, Vaccine
Alliance, UNICEF etc. Technological advancements have also played their part in improved access, particularly
the post pandemic, as the global population came close to telemedicine, and mobile health services. There is also
increasing use or development of AI and automation that can help decrease the lead time of diagnosis by
automating diagnostic workflows.
Prevalence of chronic diseases: Chronic diseases are expected to cost an estimated 47 trillion USD by 2030 and
is the leading cause of death worldwide according to WHO. The burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart
disease, cancer and respiratory diseases is increasing across the globe. The primary factors contributing to the
increased burden are ageing population, increased life expectancy, urbanization, imbalanced diets, poor air quality
and lifestyle changes. The number of aged 60 and above is set to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 2.1 billion by 2050,
with a majority of the population located in the low-and-middle-income countries. The impact of chronic disease
has always been significant among the population aged 60 and older, with better healthcare access and increased
life expectancy, the chronic disease populace set to expand significantly.
Pharmaceutical and Diagnostic Innovations: The cost of developing a new pharmaceutical drug range between
USD 1 billion to 2 billion and a timespan of 15 years on average from laboratory bench to the commercial market.
And the novel drugs are granted a significant period of patents that allows the company to set the market price of
the drug which are usually very high due to the R&D intensive nature of the industry and these costs are often
passed on to the payers and/or patients leading to increase in healthcare expenditure. The use of clinical and
molecular diagnostics in increasing frequencies has also led to an increase in healthcare expenditure. Advances in
medical devices areas such as robotic surgery, implants and advanced imaging systems, whilst successful in
improving patient outcomes, carry a significant cost factor to them.
220Current Healthcare Expenditure across Select countires
The global average of Current Health Expenditure (CHE) is 7.0%. In the developed economies, many countries
have a high CHE as a percentage of the country’s GDP. For example, the United States, with its well-developed
need-based healthcare approach, has the highest CHE as a percentage of GDP of the country, 16.5%, and countries
such as Germany, France, Japan and the UK have a high percentage at 12.6%, 11.9%, 11.4% and 11.0%
respectively. The high proportion of CHE is due to higher healthcare spending in these economies in addition to
advancements in pharmaceutical and medical devices innovation, which also stems from these regions. The
emerging economies, particularly in the low-and-middle-income countries, receive external aid to supplement
their low CHE. But a key element across the globe in terms of healthcare expenditure in the investment in
strengthening the resilience of healthcare services post the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the government expenditure accounts for a larger share (more than 50%) most the country’s total CHE in
most of the major economies like the US, France, Japan, UK, China and Saudi Arabia, it is very low, contributing
only 39% in India. Moreover, while the high adoption of private health insurance helps in closing the gap in
government funding and reducing the burden of out-of-pocket expenditure in countries such as the US and
Philippines, the share of out-of-pocket expenditure is as high as 46.0% in India.
Rising Non-Communicable Disease Burden
The total global disease burden from non-communicable diseases (NCDs), measured in DALYs (Disability-
Adjusted Life Years)11 per year has increased from 1,150 in 1990 to 1,700 in 2021. The top 5 NCDs as per DALYs
11 DALYs are used to measure total burden of disease - both from years of life lost and years lived with a disability. One DALY equals one
lost year of healthy life.
221are Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Mental disorder, Musculoskeletal disorders, and Diabetes and Kidney disease.
NCDs are the number one cause of death and disability worldwide and disproportionally affect people in low- and
middle-income countries (LMICs), where three out of four cases occur. NCDs, including heart disease, stroke,
cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease, are collectively responsible for 75% of all deaths worldwide. More than
three-quarters of all NCD deaths, and 86% of the 17 million people who died prematurely, or before reaching 70
years of age, occur in low- and middle-income countries. The burden of NCDs for most of the major economies
is increasing due to factors such as change in lifestyle and dietary habits and increasing detection of metabolic
disorders. The NCD burden in India has increased by more than 40% from 1990 to 2021 (223.5 million DALYs
in 1990 to 322.1 million DALYs in 2021). Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or at least 19
million deaths in 2021, followed by cancers (10 million), chronic respiratory diseases (4 million), and diabetes
(over 2 million including kidney disease deaths caused by diabetes).12

Diabetes and Hypertension Disease Burden
While the burden of most NCDs such as Cardiovascular, Neurological, Cancer, and Musculoskeletal diseases
have nearly doubled from 1990 to 2021, the burden of Diabetes and Kidney disease has more than tripled in that
period. Globally, the prevalence of diabetes amongst adults aged 18 years and older was 7% in 1990 and almost
doubled to 14% currently, as per WHO. Prevalence has been rising more rapidly in low- and middle-income
countries than in high-income countries. The number of people living with diabetes alone rose from 200 million
in 1990 to 830 million in 202213, with India accounting for approximately 101 million, which is 15% of the global
diabetes burden. Projections indicate that by 2030, the diabetes population could rise to 1.4 billion globally and
134 million in India.

13 WHO Factsheet
222Amongst the risk of health complications for diabetics, blindness, heart attacks, kidney diseases and amputation
are the most common. Diabetic kidney disease occurs in almost 20% to 40% of all diabetic population14
The global prevalence of hypertension was estimated to be around 26% amongst the adult population in 201915
Between 1990 to 2019, the prevalence of hypertension in Europe and America combine was 41%, while the same
in APAC was 144%, highlighting the huge burden of hypertension in emerging economies. According to the
reports only 54% of the adults with hypertension are diagnosed and only 42% receive treatment, only 21% have
their hypertension in control.
Globally, Diabetes and hypertension have been recognized to be the two leading causes for CKD, contributing
50.6% and 23.3% to CKD worldwide.16 In India, Diabetes is the major cause of CKD and ESRD, which accounts
for 33% of the causes, followed by hypertension (13%).17 The analysis highlights that the risk of kidney disease
prevalence is going to be growing at double digit rate as diagnosis rates of hypertension and diabetes increases
globally.
Growing Burden of Undiagnosed NCD Population
The growing global burden of undiagnosed kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension, all major non-
communicable diseases (NCDs), is a significant public health concern, particularly in low and middle-income
countries, where these diseases are increasingly prevalent and often lead to premature deaths. A substantial portion
of individuals with these NCDs remain undiagnosed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Approximately 50% of all individuals with diabetes are unaware of their condition, with 239.7 million people
globally undiagnosed in 2021. Similarly, Hypertension is often underdiagnosed, especially in low- and middle-
income countries and in India, high blood pressure is the most important risk factor for disease burden and
mortality. Approximately 9 out of 10 individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in resource-poor settings are
unaware they have the condition. In emerging economies such as India, even if they are diagnosed, about 50% are
in stage 5 of the CKD (i.e. in ESRD stage), and only about 15% of them have access to dialysis treatment,
signifying a huge unmet need. Emerging economies such as India and China face substantial challenges in the
early detection and management of NCDs, especially in rural areas with limited healthcare access.
Approximately 800 million people worldwide are estimated to have kidney disease, most of whom live in low-
income and lower-middle-income countries (LICs and LMICs), and a large proportion of these individuals lack
access to kidney disease diagnosis, prevention or treatment. Ageing populations and population growth will

cardiovascular disease, stroke and respiratory disease, CKD mortality has been rising. Currently, kidney disease
is the third fastest-growing cause of death globally and the only NCD to exhibit a continued rise in age-adjusted
mortality. Population growth, ageing and the increasing burden of diabetes, heart disease and hypertension are the
best-recognized drivers of CKD incidence, especially in regions with advanced economies.
INDIA HEALTHCARE SERVICE PROVIDERS MARKET
Indian healthcare is a complex system that has traditionally been tethered between value and need-based care as
both the public and private sectors play equally critical roles. The healthcare system is also heavily reliant on out-
of-pocket payments, especially in the private sector. The current Indian government initiatives to increase public
coverage have played a big role in increasing the current healthcare expenditure as % of GDP. The Indian
government has invested in reforms such as Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, Ayushman Bharat and BIMA
platforms to increase coverage and healthcare access. Over the last decade, India’s total healthcare spending as %
of its GDP (including government and private) has increased but remains lower than its peers at 3.3% in 2022
from 2.9% in 2017.
The Indian Healthcare industry is segmented into Hospitals, Pharmaceuticals, Diagnostic services, Medical
Devices, and Others (Medical insurance, Telemedicine, etc.). The estimated market size of the Indian Healthcare
industry is USD 443 billion in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 1057 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR
of 19.0% over the next 5 years.18 The industry is expanding due to the country's rapid economic growth, increasing
life expectancy, higher health awareness, government policy support, middle-class income gains, health insurance
carriers' expanded market penetration and improving medical tourism. Furthermore, there has been a nationwide
surge in government healthcare spending due to shifting demographics and a move from chronic to lifestyle
disorders.
The Indian Healthcare market is dominated by the Hospital segment with about 74% share (USD 327.6 billion,
2024), followed by Pharmaceutical with about 11.6% Share (USD 50.7 billion, 2024), Medical Devices with about
4.4% share (USD 21.9 billion, 2024), and Diagnostics with about 2.6% share (USD 13.1 billion, 2024).19 Others,
which include services such as Medical insurance, Telemedicine and Home Healthcare, have a 7.4% share with a
revenue of USD 29.7 billion in 2024. Among the Healthcare segments, the Medical Device segment is expected
to grow fast between 2024 and 2029 with a CAGR of about 20.4%, followed by Hospitals (18.2%), Diagnostics
(13.0%) and Pharmaceuticals (12.2%).19

224Overview of Healthcare Service Provider Infrastructure
India is one of the largest healthcare delivery systems globally. The country currently has 1.3 million doctors,
with 90,000 doctors graduating annually from 595 medical colleges. India currently has 4.8 hospitals per 100,000
population. In the last decade, the country invested in building infrastructure, while in this decade, the country is
focused on utilizing the infrastructure optimally to address access and affordability issues, continuing to invest in
infrastructure optimally. According to the Government of India, India has 0.7 government beds per 1,000 people,
and the bed capacity in government hospitals across India has consistently grown from 470,000 beds in 2005 to
860,688 beds in 2023.20
India has seen a notable rise in medical schools and graduate seats in response to the increasing need for healthcare
professionals. The number of medical colleges has nearly tripled in the last two decades. The significant increase
in medical colleges reflects a concerted effort to address India’s growing demand for healthcare professionals.
The number of registered allopathic doctors experienced substantial growth, increasing from 6.6 million in 2005
to 1.3 million in 2022.20
While India’s healthcare infrastructure is large and growing in terms of absolute numbers, there is a significant
disparity between the number of available beds and the number of beds necessary as per WHO standards. The
data reveals that India has around 1.7 beds (government and private hospital beds) per 1,000 people, which is less
than half of the global average suggested by WHO (3.0 beds per 1000). China, despite being one of the most
20 FICCI - Decoding India’s Healthcare Landscape, 2024
225populous countries in the world, scores well on the hospital bed density with 5.0 beds per 1,000 population. As
per the estimates, the Indian hospital market poses significant opportunities to increase hospital beds by at least
30% to ensure fair access to healthcare facilities for all individuals. This would indicate that an additional 2.2
million beds21 would be needed in the country’s hospital sector over the next 15 years.

India's healthcare market remains significantly underpenetrated, creating a critical gap in accessible medical
infrastructure. This systemic shortfall presented a strategic opportunity for private healthcare operators to address
unmet demand. Over time, private healthcare infrastructure—particularly specialized tertiary care facilities—has
emerged as the cornerstone of India's healthcare ecosystem. The sector has since evolved into a multi-billion-
dollar industry, redefining care delivery standards while establishing itself as a dominant economic and clinical
force within the national healthcare landscape.
Globally, the WHO projects a shortfall of approximately 10 million healthcare workers by 2030, with low- and
lower-middle-income countries being most affected. This shortage is exacerbated by an aging global population,
an increasing burden of chronic diseases, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While high-income
countries such as the US, UK, Germany, France, and Australia generally have higher ratios of both doctors and
nurses per capita, reflecting stronger healthcare infrastructure and investment, India, despite having large absolute
numbers of healthcare professionals, shows lower per capita figures due to its massive population. This crunch
has led to the transformation of the healthcare delivery services ecosystem by focusing on asset-light models with
the need to have minimal infrastructure to increase access and lower investments. This has helped expand the non-
hospital services business in clinics and aged -care services landscape. This has played a major role in driving the
healthcare delivery ecosystem to move from unorganized to organized care sector.
Healthcare Inflation and Insurance Adoption in India
While annual retail inflation was at 5.2% in December 2024, the medical inflation is at 14.0%.22 Over the past six
years, healthcare inflation in India has outpaced general inflation rates, averaging 10.8%. The high medical
inflation is due to higher demand for healthcare services due to demand factors such as rising chronic diseases,
increased affordability and increasing adoption of health insurance, and supply factors such as increase in
equipment, labor, and raw material costs.
21 NITI Aayog report ‘Investment Opportunities in India’s Healthcare Sector’, 2021
22 Economic Times
226India is witnesing rising insurance adoption and increasing healthcare coverage from the Government.
India is witnessing increasing healthcare financing from the government. A pivotal government initiative, the
Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), provides comprehensive hospitalization
coverage to approximately 70 crore individuals, or the lower 50.0% of the population. Only about 37% of the total
population (514 million people) are covered by health insurance schemes, leaving a significant portion
uninsured.23 Government expenditure as a percentage of healthcare expenditure in India has grown from 33.0%
in 2017 to 39.1% in 2022. While India's Out-of-Pocket (OOP) healthcare spending has decreased from 55.1% in
2017 to at 46.0% in 2022 due to higher insurance penetration, it is notably high. Furthermore, this OOP burden
surpasses that of Asian peers, who typically rely on OOP for approximately 30.0% to 35.0% of healthcare
expenses, significantly exceeding the World Health Organization's recommended range of 15.0% to 20.0%24.
The adoption of private health insurance is increasing in India, where the gross premium underwritten has
increased from USD 6.6 billion in Fiscal 2019 to USD 13.1 billion in 2024 at a high CAGR of 14.6%. Factors
such as increased awareness of health insurance products, prevention of catastrophic health expenditure by
households, increase in medical costs, increased acceptance of health insurance by hospitals and increase in
household income are key drivers for the adoption of health insurance.
Dominance of Private Service Providers
According to industry estimates, India has more than 73,000 hospitals, of which private hospitals account for
about 63%, while the remaining are government hospitals. The private sector plays a dominant role in India's
healthcare delivery system. In 2023, the private sector had approximately 1,185,242 beds compared to the public
23 Forbes
24 WHO Report
227sector's 860,688 beds.25 Within private hospitals, the majority of them are standalone private hospitals (81%)
which are small and medium-sized hospitals, mainly offering secondary/higher-secondary care. Large hospital
chains with facilities across multiple states and cities account for about 19% of the market.
Majority of the hospitals are clustered in 7 states i.e., Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala, Maharashtra,
Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. India's healthcare sector has witnessed remarkable transformation in recent years,
with the private sector playing an increasingly prominent role. While hospitals have traditionally dominated
healthcare delivery, a robust private ecosystem is now driving growth in non-hospital healthcare settings such as
single specialty clinics (Dialysis, IVF, oncology etc.). Diagnostics and daycare surgery clinics, home healthcare
and telemedicine platforms are all off-shoot of the non-hospital growth sectors. This shift represents a fundamental
change in how healthcare is accessed and delivered across the country.
The participation of the private sector is a major transforming factor in this non-hospital sector growth, as it leads
to the strengthening of the organized sector as it is developed.
The private healthcare sector in India has expanded significantly, accounting for approximately 70% to 80% of
all healthcare expenditures. This growth has been fueled by several factors including:
• Urbanization and rising middle-class populations with greater disposable incomes
• Increased awareness of health and wellness
• Increased willingness to spend more for higher quality care in private facilities
• Government policies encouraging private sector participation
• Medical tourism generates approximately USD 5 to 6 billion annually
The dominance of the private sector makes India a fertile ground for organized dialysis networks to scale
efficiently. With most hospital chains focusing on acute or surgical specialties, dialysis chains have an opportunity
to embed themselves as outsourced service partners or operate independent satellite clinics—capitalizing on
infrastructure availability, government support (e.g., PMNDP), and high patient volumes.
The private sector has led to the emergence of regional groups to drive the organized sector with a focus on key
cities or states or regions. The strengthening and growth of regional groups lead to the successful development of
pan – India groups like those we have seen in hospital sector, diagnostic labs, IVF clinics and dialysis chains.
Growing Demand for Public-Private Partnerships in Healthcare Services
India's healthcare sector faces significant challenges in meeting the growing demand for quality yet affordable
healthcare services across its diverse population. The public healthcare system, while extensive, struggles with
infrastructure limitations, resource constraints, and staffing challenges, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Meanwhile, the private healthcare sector, though more developed, primarily serves urban populations and faces
its own challenges in reaching broader demographics due to factors such as lack of availability of healthcare
professionals and poor infrastructure. This gap has created a compelling case for public-private partnerships
25 National Health Profile (2023); Medical Dialogues
228(PPPs) to bridge the divide and enhance healthcare delivery across the country. The private sector, which accounts
for a significant portion of India’s healthcare landscape, is crucial considering its access to nimble financing,
adaptable business models, efficient human resource management, better innovative labs, equipment, and
technologies to support patient care. The Indian government has recognized the need for improved healthcare
infrastructure, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. PPP models have emerged as a viable solution to develop
and maintain healthcare facilities without straining government resources. For service providers, PPP model
enhances accessibility for patients while ensuring a steady inflow of beneficiaries, leading to improved asset
utilization and greater revenue predictability. PPPs have proven effective in delivering specialized healthcare
services, particularly in areas where the public sector lacks expertise or resources. Public sector can play a Payor
and Quality regulator role while Private sector can deliver affordable healthcare services. The Pradhan Mantri
National Dialysis Program (PMNDP) is a notable example where private partners like Apollo and NephroPlus
have collaborated with state governments to establish dialysis clinics across the country. Moreover, PPPs have
been instrumental in implementing telemedicine initiatives like the national teleconsultation service eSanjeevani,
which connects patients in remote areas with specialists. PPPs have played a crucial role in expanding health
insurance coverage, particularly for vulnerable populations. The Yeshasvini Cooperative Farmer's Health
Insurance Scheme, initiated by Narayana Hrudayalaya and the Karnataka government, provides affordable
insurance to farmers, covering treatments up to ₹ 250,000 per person annually. Looking ahead, the growing
demand for healthcare services, coupled with technological advancements and supportive government policies,
suggests that PPPs will continue to play a crucial role in India's healthcare landscape.
Growing Single Specialty Service Providers and Growth Drivers
The emergence of a strong private ecosystem in single-specialty healthcare in India is a notable trend, driven by
increasing demand for specialized care and advancements in medical technology. The single specialty healthcare
delivery market in India is estimated to contribute about 15% of the overall healthcare market in 2024. The off-
shoot started with single-specialty hospitals, and now has moved to single specialty clinics, as most of the
procedures that require regular visits don’t have complications and can be managed in non-hospital setting.
Initially, under single specialty healthcare, India witnessed categories such as ophthalmology, dental care and
urology gaining traction. With the success of the model, other categories such as dialysis services, fertility and
oncology are seeing increased traction and investments. These asset-light and private investment-friendly business
models have led to a spur in funding in these businesses in recent years. The transition from unorganized to
organized market, the ability to replicate effective business models, and positive unit economics are among the
crucial elements that have greatly fueled the expansion of single specialty healthcare models.

Compared to other single-specialty models, the dialysis business model remains attractive due to factors such as
high customer lifetime value, the potential for partnerships with government and private hospitals, and streamlined
and consistent treatment protocols. Dialysis is a chronic treatment, meaning patients require regular, weekly thrice
treatment that differ from episodic care models in specialties like orthopedics or ophthalmology. Patients with
end-stage kidney disease are highly dependent on dialysis services to survive, making it a non-discretionary
demand. This creates a stable and predictable revenue stream. Dialysis clinics typically maintain high patient
volumes with consistent occupancy rates. Unlike IVF clinics that may experience cyclical demand or oncology
services with variable patient inflows, dialysis clinics serve a steady population of patients requiring ongoing care,
leading to more reliable utilization of resources. The standardized nature of dialysis treatments enables significant
operational efficiencies. Protocols are well established, staff training is specialized, and equipment utilization is
230maximized. This contrasts with specialties like oncology, where treatment protocols vary widely between patients,
or orthopedics, where procedure complexity can lead to variable resource consumption. Once operational systems
are established, dialysis clinics can be scaled relatively easily. The model allows for replication across multiple
locations with consistent service quality. This scalability is more challenging in specialties requiring highly
specialized staff such as specialist doctors or complex infrastructure, such as orthopedics or oncology. Leading
standalone dialysis networks such as NephroPlus, DCDC and Apex Kidney Care operate an asset-light business
model, ensuring that the establishment and operation of the clinics incur lower costs compared to other healthcare
services, such as tertiary care or other single-specialty services such as eye care and in-vitro fertilization.
Factors such as the Capex-light nature of dialysis chains, need for chronic ongoing patient care, predictable
recurring revenue from high patient Lifetime value, favorable government reimbursements, standardized
treatment protocols, high hospital integration or partnership potential, and low clinical expertise
requirement results in superior unit economics of standalone dialysis clinics compared to other standalone
specialty models, making it an attractive investment thesis for private equity companies.
The global dialysis population is growing rapidly, especially in low-income and middle-income countries;
however, worldwide, a substantial number of people lack access to kidney replacement therapy, and millions of
people die of kidney failure each year, often without supportive care. Growth is continuously outpacing the
capacity of kidney replacement therapy (KRT), defined as maintenance dialysis or kidney transplant, especially
in low-income and middle-income countries. The population of patients receiving dialysis continues to grow
rapidly, especially in LMICs, as a result of an increase in the availability of dialysis, population ageing, increased
prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, and toxic environmental exposures. Due to this, the single
specialty dialysis service has high growth potential.
Initiatives Transforming the Dialysis Service Ecosystem in India
The dialysis service ecosystem in India is undergoing significant transformation, driven by various government
and private sector initiatives aimed at improving access, affordability, and quality of care.
Some key existing initiatives are:
• Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP): The PMNDP was rolled out on April 7, 2016,
with the aim of making dialysis services accessible and affordable to BPL patients. It covers hemodialysis
(HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) services. This program is a crucial government initiative aimed at providing
free dialysis services to people living below the poverty line. The program seeks to increase access to dialysis,
particularly in district hospitals, thereby reducing the financial burden on patients. In this model, private
partners provide operational support, clinical protocols, human resources, dialysis machines, RO water plants,
and consumables, while the state government provides space, power, and water supply within district
hospitals. Private sector involvement allows for the leveraging of expertise in infrastructure development and
service delivery while the government focuses on oversight and governance. Private dialysis clinics
participating in the PMNDP can secure a steady stream of patients, ensuring a stable income over the long
term, and benefit from enhanced brand recognition, opportunities for collaboration and exchange and
expansion into rural and remote areas. The PMNDP portal, launched in May 2022, integrates all dialysis
clinics operational under NHM and facilitates the building of a renal registry. enabling standardized, portable
patient records and greater accountability in dialysis treatment. This centralization supports better policy
decisions, insurance tracking, and improved continuity of care across providers. Companies such as
NephroPlus and Apollo have partnered with state governments in PPP model to run dialysis services. As on
February 2025, the model has been implemented in the country in all the 36 States/UT, in 748 Districts at
1609 clinics by deploying 11,148 Hemodialysis machines. A total of 27.28 Lakh patients availed dialysis
services, and 329.45 Lakh Hemodialysis treatments have been conducted.26
• Shift from unorganized to organized market in dialysis services: In India, there has been a shift from
hospital in-house to hospital outsourced dialysis services, which are being run and managed by organized
dialysis service providers. This trend has been gaining prominence with the rise of organized dialysis service
providers who have expertise in efficiently running dialysis service clinics without compromising the quality.
Moreover, the share of dialysis patient volumes for organized players is increasing, and it is expected to reach
18.5% by 2029, from 16.0% in 2019.
26 Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme
231• Ayushman Bharat Yojana: The Ayushman Bharat Yojana has been transformative for dialysis patients in
India, providing much-needed financial relief and improving access to essential treatments. This national
health protection scheme provides financial coverage up to ₹ 5 Lakhs for healthcare services, including
dialysis, to eligible beneficiaries. The scheme covers the cost of dialysis treatment, including associated
medications and routine checks. It also covers the cost of kidney transplants, which can be prohibitively
expensive for many patients. It plays a vital role in making dialysis more affordable for economically
vulnerable populations. In the revised Health Benefit Package, launched on April 6, 2022, the reimbursement
for dialysis treatment was increased from ₹ 1,500 to ₹ 1,800 per treatment in Tier I cities to accommodate
inflationary trends. This shift has incentivized private operators to participate in care delivery while enabling
low-income populations to access life-sustaining treatment. Furthermore, PM-JAY’s nationwide scale
approximately 70 crore beneficiaries) and its strategic alignment with India’s “Insurance for All” goal by
2047 is expected to continue driving dialysis utilization.
• Expansion of Private Dialysis Clinics: The private sector is actively expanding its network of dialysis
clinics, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas. About 5,000 dialysis clinics were operational in India in
2023, and among them, 80% were private27. The total number of dialysis clinics has grown from 700 in 2010
to 5,000 in 2023. Private providers are investing in advanced dialysis technology and infrastructure, training
and certifying staffs, and implementing standardized protocols to offer high-quality services.
• Outsourcing of dialysis services: Earlier, hospitals were the major clinics for providing dialysis services,
but after calibrating varied economic and operational aspects, hospitals are now outsourcing dialysis services
to organized dialysis service providers such as NephroPlus, DCDC, Apollo Dialysis, etc. Globally, hospitals
have partnered with pure dialysis service providers as they neither have the scale nor the focus to make
dialysis service profitable for them. Multi-specialty hospitals are not so keen on dialysis treatments on their
own as they want to focus on their core acute care services, and since the dialysis services are low price and
making double-digit margin requires scale and operational efficiency, it drives outsourcing of it to specialized
dialysis chains. Outsourcing dialysis services to organized dialysis service providers can allow hospitals to
cater to other non-dialysis patients without worrying about operational complexities of effectively running
highly specialized dialysis services at their premises. On the other hand, for organized dialysis service
providers, outsourced dialysis services open gates to several lucrative opportunities such as getting access to
a large patient base, comparatively easy expansion to other parts of the country and better brand exposure in
local markets.
• Technological Advancements: The adoption of telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies is
improving the management of dialysis patients. These technologies enable remote consultations, monitoring
of vital signs, and timely interventions, enhancing patient care and convenience. The dialysis sector in India
is undergoing a digital transformation, with increasing adoption of remote monitoring solutions, AI driven
diagnostics, and IOT enabled dialysis machines. These technologies are enabling real-time data tracking,
reducing complications, and improving patient compliance. Platforms offering virtual nephrologist
consultations and home-based dialysis assessments are reducing the urban-rural gap in care access. Leading
players are also investing in electronic health records, machine telemetry, and predictive analytics to improve
patient outcomes and drive operational efficiencies.
• Philanthropic and Charitable Initiatives: Organizations such as the Hans Foundation, TANKER
Foundation and Fairfax India Charitable Foundation are contributing to the dialysis ecosystem by providing
dialysis machines and supporting the establishment of dialysis clinics in areas with limited access. These
initiatives are helping to bridge the gap in dialysis services, particularly in rural and remote regions.
• Expanding ESRD Pipeline & Early Detection Initiatives: With 50% of CKD patients in India diagnosed
only at Stage 5 (ESRD) and only approximately 15% accessing dialysis, the unmet demand remains
significant. Rising prevalence of diabetes and hypertension—two leading causes of CKD—continues to
increase the ESRD burden. New government and NGO campaigns are focusing on early-stage detection
through rural health camps, urine albumin and creatinine testing kits, and AI screening tools, creating a
broader diagnosed base that will fuel dialysis demand.

232Indian ecosystem going international to support global Requirements beyond the premium solutions
India’s economic expansion over the past decade, alongside the post-pandemic redistribution of the global medical
supply chain, has significantly influenced the strategic direction of Indian companies, investors, and governing
bodies. While the pursuit of self-reliance and the reduction of import dependency remain central objectives, there
is also a concerted effort to enhance international trade relations and promote internationalism. The initiative to
drive the economy is led by the primary focus to address self-sufficiency and reduce import dependency. But the
focus is enhanced further with global trade relations to drive focus on internationalism. The ecosystem catapulted
with the strong expansion of Indian API and medical consumables manufacturers in the last decade. They paved
the way for the growth of India's pharma and medical devices companies. In the first one and a half decades of
the millennium, Indian companies were considered only as a low-cost alternative for global products in established
economies. In the same timeline, in the provider ecosystem, Apollo Hospitals expanded globally and established
its brand name in the emerging economies, primarily. In the latter part of the last decade, the focus of the Indian
economy moved to established economies, and branding moved from “low-cost” to “cost-efficient” products and
services. This helped the growth of healthcare and medical device companies like Sahajanand Medical
Technologies, Healthium Inc., TransAsia, Meril Life Sciences, HealthCare Global Enterprises (HCG), Max
Healthcare, etc. The primary reason for the success of these companies in international territories is due to the
inherent demand to reduce growing healthcare expenditure without compromising on the quality or volume of
services offered to patients in these countries. The solution lies in driving operational efficiency without high
capital investments. The Indian companies’ learnings and successful operational excellence have helped to serve
the needs of the global economies and grow successfully.
GLOBAL DIALYSIS SERVICES INDUSTRY
Introduction to Dialysis Services Globally
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a huge burden globally, accounting for 43 million deaths annually,
roughly 75% of the total deaths as per WHO reports published in 2021. Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular
diseases, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases are a few of the common NCDs. There is a significant impact
of hypertension and diabetes on overall global mortality, as the two conditions combinedly accounted for nearly
20% of mortality in 2021. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the unique conditions that is caused by both
diabetes and hypertension. In addition to diabetes and hypertension, other causes of CKD include infections,
kidney inflammation, polycystic kidney disease, long-term pain killers usage and others.
CKD involves a gradual loss of kidney function. There are five broad stages of CKD based on Glomerular
Filtration Rate (GFR) and how well a patient’s kidneys work to filter waste and extra fluid out of the blood.
Determination of CKD stages governs the type of treatment suggested to the patient i.e., medications, dialysis,
or kidney transplant.

The global prevalence of CKD is estimated to be between 9% and 10% of the overall population (more than 750
million people), and the prevalence is expected to grow at a much faster rate in the coming years due to increasing
lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Since 1990, the global prevalence of CKD has increased by
29.3%,28 with a substantial increase in stage 5, i.e., ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease), due to faster disease
progression and delayed diagnosis. Late diagnosis has resulted in an increase in the mortality rate from CKD,
from 0.5 million in 1990 to an estimated 1.5 million in 2024. The mortality from CKD might be substantially
higher due to cause deaths from other co-morbidities not reported as CKD. CKD is projected to be the fifth leading
cause of death worldwide by 2040, up from its 12th rank in 2017.
The major treatment mode includes dialysis and kidney transplants. Compared to dialysis, a kidney transplant is
more effective and provides better survival, but due to the constant shortage of donors, waiting periods for kidney
transplants are long, often ranging from 3 to 5 years or more. However, the transplant failure rates at one, three,
five, and 10 years are 7.5%, 15.0%, 20.0% and 32.0%, respectively.29 Thus, there has been an increase in the
reliance on dialysis treatment for the survival of CKD patients globally. Moreover, not all patients with ESRD are
eligible for kidney transplantation. Advanced age and coexisting chronic health conditions can limit transplant
eligibility, making dialysis a more appropriate treatment option for these patients. Most of the ESRD patients rely
on Dialysis for survival and improved quality of life. Dialysis is a procedure for removing toxins and excess fluids
from a person’s bloodstream when the kidneys become dysfunctional. The treatment helps in keeping the balance
of electrolytes and fluid level in the body. In critically ill patients with acute kidney injury and hemodynamic
instability, treatments like plasmapheresis, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), hemodiafiltration, and
sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) are increasingly employed as renal replacement modalities. The
evolution of dialysis from its inception as a laboratory demonstration to the current technologically sophisticated
procedure has been accompanied by changes in socioeconomics, government administration, and
technological/infrastructure developments.
Dialysis is suitable for different age groups of patients to help them improve their quality of life and number of
years of survival. However, a huge gap exists between the number of people requiring dialysis and those
undergoing dialysis. According to various estimates, globally, about 30 million people annually require dialysis
28 BMC Public Health
29 Iranian Journal of Public Health
234or kidney transplants, but many do not receive these treatments due to a lack of resources or financial barriers.
Globally, CKD treatments are one of the leading causes of large out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure, accounting
for more than 40% of the household income for the affected population.
Types of dialysis services
There are two types of dialysis i.e., Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis. Both types of dialysis perform normal
kidney function but utilize different methods to filter waste and excess fluids from the body.
Hemodialysis (HD): In HD, a dialysis machine removes unfiltered blood from the body by passing it through a
dialyzer (artificial kidney) and returns clean blood to the body. This is generally a 3-to-5-hour process and may
take place in a hospital, dialysis clinic or home, usually three times a week. Home hemodialysis is an emerging
trend, but the high capital cost of machines, infection rate and the operational cost of consumables is a major cause
of concern for adoption.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD): In PD, the patient’s abdomen lining acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by
means of a cleansing fluid (called dialysate), which is washed in and out of the abdomen in cycles. In addition to
the way dialysis process is undertaken, one of the notable differences between HD and PD is that latter is primarily
conducted at home with higher frequency of 3 – 4 exchanges per day as compared to 3 times a week in
hemodialysis.
There are two ways to undertake PD:
• Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) which uses a machine called a cycler.
• Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) which takes place manually.
Broadly, both types of dialysis are similar in terms of their effect on outcomes and patient’s longevity or survival.
Most patients are suitable for either HD or PD, with few exceptions. For instance, young children especially those
under 5 years of age are often unsuitable for HD and such patients are preferably treated through PD. Living
conditions, employment, education and support from family members/community networks, affordability and
accessibility of dialysis facilities are few of the key factors that are considered before opting for dialysis as the
choice of treatment.
Between HD and PD, multiple factors are attributed to higher adoption of HD over PD, as the former is better
suited for patients with very less kidney functions (such as terminal illness patients, old age patients, ICU patients),
high cost of PD process, burden on the support system, better suitability for patients who are obese or have
abdominal scarring etc. As the majority of the ESRD prevalence peaks in the population aged 55 years and above,
the above factors contribute directly to the preferential adoption of HD over PD. Most of the HD procedures are
conducted in-clinic, but in the latter part of last decade, there has been a small but growing trend in the increased
adoption of home HD and PD dialysis. The current share of PD is low, i.e., less than 5% of total dialysis patients
are undergoing PD, and the share will continue to remain very minimal and/or decline in the forecast period (2024
– 2029) due to factors such as affordability, risk of complications, patient convenience and increased access to
HD. Moreover, in some regions, payment policies may not adequately reflect the cost-effectiveness of PD,
affecting medical institutions' and physicians' incentives to promote and use PD.
Recurring Nature of Dialysis and Unmet Need
Compared to most of the other acute medical conditions necessitating episodic or one-time treatment, dialysis is
a recurring, life-sustaining medical service for individuals with ESRD. When the kidneys lose their ability to
effectively filter toxins and excess fluid from the blood, dialysis artificially performs this crucial function. The
standard requirement for dialysis is three times a week treatment, for 3 to 4 hours duration per treatment, either at
a dialysis clinic (hemodialysis) or at home (peritoneal dialysis or home hemodialysis). People with ESRD cannot
survive more than 2 weeks without dialysis or a kidney transplant.30 Therefore, for individuals with ESRD, dialysis
is not just a treatment but a critical necessity for survival and maintaining a reasonable quality of life. Once a
patient comes onto Dialysis, they need it until they get a transplant or they die and 95% of the time, the patient
just sticks to the same dialysis clinic as it is a life sustaining thrice a week treatment and they do not want to
change their dialysis slot or even the bed allocated to them. As they spend more than 15 hours per week at any
dialysis clinic, it effectively becomes their second home. Dialysis is a vital, continuing treatment, with patients
typically visiting a clinic two to three times per week. Given the nature of dialysis, which requires patients to
30 Healthline
235frequently visit a dialysis clinic for treatment, it is imperative to ensure easy access to treatment. Despite the life-
saving nature of dialysis, significant unmet needs persist for patients globally, encompassing various aspects of
their care, such as geographical disparities in access to care, low awareness and financial barriers. Many patients,
especially in emerging economies, requiring dialysis do not adhere to the standard recommended treatment of 3
per week. Moreover, globally, over 25 million people lack access to dialysis services. Addressing the huge unmet
needs requires a multi-faceted approach involving increased global access to affordable dialysis, a greater focus
on improving the quality of life and managing symptoms, proactive management of complications, and the
implementation of truly patient-centered care models. Smaller duration, more frequent dialysis treatments (e.g.,
shorter treatments more often during the week) can improve cardiovascular health, quality of life, and overall
well-being for patients on hemodialysis. This approach also helps with better waste product removal and
potentially reduces the need for strict dietary and fluid restrictions. Frequent dialysis, even with shorter treatments,
can lead to better control of hypertension, improved heart muscle function, and reduced heart-related
hospitalizations. More frequent dialysis may lead to less fatigue, improved sleeping patterns, and a greater sense
of well-being.
The average life expectancy of patients on dialysis is generally higher in established economies
Among patients aged 65 years or older who have ESRD, mortality rates are 6 times higher than in the general
population. The life expectancy among ESRD people undergoing dialysis treatment varies from person to person
based on comorbidities and adherence to the treatment. The average expectancy of patients on dialysis varies
across countries. The 5-year survival of ESRD patients on dialysis treatment is 41% in the US, 48% in Germany
and 60% in Japan.31 Also, there is a significant change in the life expectancy of people receiving HD and PD. At
a global level, the median survival time is around 20.4 months in patients receiving PD versus 36.7 months in the
HD group. Higher adherence to treatment, especially in emerging economies, is important to increase average
years on dialysis.
Diabetes and hypertension are major drivers behind growing global CKD prevalence
The global increase in CKD is primarily driven by an increase in the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and
obesity, as well as aging population, among many other cases. Hypertensive and diabetic populations have the
highest risk of CKD incidence leading to ESRD incidence. In 2022, more than 800 million people were suffering
from some form of diabetes, and around 1.4 billion people were suffering from hypertension. High prevalence of
diabetes and hypertension also increases the risk of kidney diseases, which are growing every year, thus fueling
the need for dialysis. Early onset of diabetes and hypertension is further aggravating the situation. Diabetic
Nephropathy accounted for almost a third of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from CKD, while high blood
pressure also accounted for a significant share of kidney failure cases. About 1 in 3 adults with diabetes and 1 in
5 adults with high blood pressure may have kidney disease. Diabetes and hypertension cause or contribute to 2 of
3 new cases of kidney failure. By 2040, CKD is projected to be the 5th highest cause of years of life lost (YLL)
globally from the current 12th position.
Expansion of Financial Coverage for Dialysis Services and Increasing Government Reimbursements
In many developed countries, governments are the primary payers for dialysis services, either directly or through
insurance schemes they regulate. Reimbursement models vary, including bundled payments, fee-for-service, and
capitation.
Many European countries, Canada, and some parts of Asia with universal healthcare systems generally provide
comprehensive or near-comprehensive coverage for dialysis services. This is often funded through taxation or
social health insurance, aiming to minimize out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Several countries have specific
government programs to support dialysis patients, especially those who are poor or uninsured. India's Pradhan
Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) is an example, providing free dialysis services to Below Poverty
Line (BPL) families through public-private partnerships at district hospitals. In countries like the US, where a
significant portion of the population relies on private health insurance, coverage for dialysis can vary depending
on the plan. Medicare, the federal health insurance program for those over 65, under 65 with certain disabilities,
and people with ESRD, provides coverage for dialysis. However, the rise of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans can
lead to lower reimbursement rates for dialysis than traditional Medicare. In 2025, the Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) in the US increased the renal dialysis reimbursement rate to USD 273.82 from USD
271.02 in 2024, and the rate was USD 265.57 in 2023. In India, under the Ayushman Bharat health scheme, which
covers dialysis costs, the government increased the reimbursement for dialysis treatment from USD 17.5 (₹ 1,500)
31 American Journal of Nephrology
236to USD 21.0 (₹ 1,800) per treatment in 2022 for Tier I cities. The Philippines Health Department (PhilHealth)
increased the reimbursement for dialysis services from USD 46.0 (2,600 PHP) in 2022 to USD 70.5 (4,000 PHP)
in 2023 to USD 112 (6,350 PHP) in 2024. Moreover, PhilHealth extended its coverage from 90 to 156
hemodialysis treatments per year. Uzbekistan's public state benefits program provides free dialysis care to patients
with kidney failure. The Department of Health in Uzbekistan covers about USD 48 per treatment for dialysis
services.
Low- and Middle-Income countries often face the most significant challenges in expanding financial coverage
and address poor insurance penetration. Government funding is frequently insufficient, and out-of-pocket
expenses can be catastrophic for individuals needing dialysis. This results in limited access and high mortality
rates among ESRD patients in these regions. Some countries are exploring public-private partnerships and seeking
ways to increase budgetary allocations for kidney care. The trend across many countries, including many Asian
countries such as India, Uzbekistan, and the Philippines, is towards expanding financial coverage for dialysis
services to improve access and reduce the financial burden on patients. Government initiatives, national health
insurance programs, and public-private partnerships are playing crucial roles in this expansion.
Preference of In-clinic Dialysis
In-clinic dialysis is the preferred medium among majority of patients
Not all ESRD patients are eligible to undergo a kidney transplant. Eligibility decreases with age and other chronic
health conditions, and such patients are better positioned to benefit from dialysis. As a result of these factors,
dialysis has become the most common treatment mode for ESRD patients, and among patients receiving dialysis,
more than 98% of the patients receive Hemodialysis due to factors such as affordability, need for specialist support
and convenience. In 2024, of the 4.26 million patients worldwide who regularly received dialysis treatment, about
4.2 million were on HD, which is mainly conducted at facilities. Home hemodialysis is a very small market,
currently comprising less than 1% of the patients adopting it due to the high capital cost of machines and the
recurring operational cost of consumables.
Following are the benefits of In-clinic HD compared to Home:
Medical Safety: In-clinic dialysis clinics employ professional medical teams, including nephrologists, nurses,
and technicians, who possess extensive knowledge and experience in dialysis treatment. They can skillfully
operate dialysis equipment, closely monitor patients' conditions during dialysis, and promptly address any
emergencies, such as hypotension, arrhythmia, or disequilibrium syndrome. In contrast, home hemodialysis
primarily relies on patients and their families to perform the procedure. While they receive training beforehand,
their expertise and emergency response capabilities may fall short of professionals. Dialysis clinics are equipped
with advanced dialysis machines, water treatment systems, and monitoring devices that undergo regular
maintenance and calibration to ensure safe and effective operation. Additionally, clinics can provide the necessary
medical supplies and medications for dialysis, reducing the risk of equipment malfunctions or supply shortages
that might occur during home dialysis.
Quality of Medical Care: Dialysis quality is affected by several factors, including the quality of the treated water,
infection control measures, adherence to clinical protocols, dialysate composition and treatment time. In-clinic
dialysis clinics adhere to strict treatment protocols and operational standards, ensuring patients receive high-
quality and consistent dialysis care. From pre-dialysis assessment and dialysis plan formulation to post-dialysis
monitoring, every step follows standardized guidelines. In comparison, home hemodialysis may involve
variability in procedures due to differences in patients' self-management abilities and environmental factors.
Nephrologists at dialysis clinics can comprehensively evaluate patients' conditions, including the stage of kidney
disease, comorbidities, and laboratory results, to develop personalized dialysis plans tailored to each patient's
specific needs. During treatment, doctors can adjust dialysis parameters such as frequency, duration, and dose
based on patients' responses and changes in health. Dialysis, while necessary for kidney failure, can lead to bone
mineral disorders like renal osteodystrophy, characterized by weakened bones and increased fracture risk. This
occurs due to imbalances in calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels. Dietary modifications and
medication can help mitigate these effects. Dietary consultations are designed to ensure that patients and their
caregivers understand the importance of dietary compliance and are equipped with practical and personalized
recommendations to implement it.
Psychological support: In-clinic dialysis allows patients to interact with medical staff and fellow patients,
fostering opportunities for emotional support and social engagement. This can help alleviate patients' anxiety,
depression, and other negative emotions, improving their psychological well-being.
237Affordability: Dialysis clinics serve a large number of patients, enabling cost-sharing of equipment, facilities,
and human resources. This results in relatively lower per-treatment costs. Home hemodialysis, however, requires
patients to bear the upfront costs of purchasing dialysis equipment, consumables and renovating their homes to
meet dialysis requirements.
Complications Associated with Dialysis Services
Dialysis is life-sustaining for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) but carries complications impacting
health and survival. These complications can be broadly categorized into those related to the dialysis procedure
itself, the vascular access, and the overall physiological effects of kidney failure and dialysis treatment.
The complications include infections like vascular access infections, peritonitis, and bloodborne infections such
as hepatitis and HIV. Cardiovascular complications involve hypotension, hypertension, arrhythmias, sudden
cardiac death, and pericarditis. Vascular access complications include thrombosis, stenosis, infection,
aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm, and bleeding. Dialysis patients also face electrolyte and metabolic imbalances such
as hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and metabolic acidosis. Anemia from reduced erythropoietin
and blood loss is common, as is bone disease (renal osteodystrophy) due to impaired vitamin D processing and
mineral imbalances. Dialysis-related amyloidosis can cause joint and tendon pain over time.
Market Evolution - Dialysis Chains and Other Institutional Facilities at the Global Level
Dialysis started as a hospital-centric procedure and continued to be the same for a long time. It was in the early
1980s when the population started witnessing the emergence of standalone clinics to conduct dialysis. These
facilities were successful as they required low set-up costs and thus were scalable to penetrate across rural and
semi-urban areas globally improving access to facilities for patients and affordability. Across major countries, the
adoption of standalone clinics for dialysis is increasing, driven by factors like the rise of large dialysis chains, the
need for accessible care, and emphasis on specialist support or supervision to manage complications. According
to the Nephrology News & Issues annual survey (2019), more than 65% of the new patients undergoing dialysis
leveraged the standalone clinics for their dialysis requirements. The expansion of standalone dialysis clinics is
expected to continue, driven by increasing patient demand, favorable reimbursement policies, and advancements
in technology.
Home HD has been in the market since 1960 but has gathered great prominence, particularly in the established
markets only in the latter part of the last decade. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and its after-effects drove
the growth of the home HD segment. This trend in the short term addressed the maintenance of adherence to
treatment amongst existing patients when movement to clinics was restricted due to lockdown. Moreover, patients
choosing Home HD and adopting nocturnal dialysis regimens do so in part because of the potential for improved
quality of life. Nocturnal dialysis, performed at night while the patient sleeps, allows for longer dialysis time,
which can lead to better blood purification and potentially improved health-related quality of life. While the
adoption of Home HD is growing, the share of the dialysis population undergoing Home HD will remain very
minimal compared to in-clinic HD.
Investors and private dialysis service providers are driving growth through expansion across geographies by
opening standalone clinics. These clinics have higher success potential, keeping in view of low operational and
capital expenditure over the years. They have also been a major contributor to the growth of the dialysis market.
As per the Global Kidney Health Atlas survey (2023), HD clinics increased by 9.8% globally from 2019 to 2023,
and there were 5.1 HD clinics per million population. In emerging countries, only half of the hospitals provide
HD services. In emerging economies like India, there has been a shift from hospital in-house to hospital outsourced
dialysis services, which are being run and managed by organized dialysis service providers. As healthcare
resources are relatively scarce and unevenly distributed in emerging markets in India, Hospitals often face high
operational pressures and limited capacity to meet the growing demand for dialysis services. Outsourcing dialysis
services to specialized providers is a cost-effective solution to address this issue, and scaled organized dialysis
chains are best positioned to capitalize on this trend going forward. However, in the established economies, the
trend has been towards standalone clinics which do not have complications of partnering with hospitals and
provide better cost-effective options for dialysis services provider to penetrate further into various parts of the
country. Established economies typically have well-developed healthcare infrastructure and advanced dialysis
technologies. Standalone dialysis clinics can leverage these advantages to provide high-quality dialysis services
without relying on hospital resources.
238Comparison Between Established and Emerging Economies on Different Parameters Pertaining to Stage 5
of CKD (ESRD)
During the last decade, the growth of treated ESRD patients was relatively stable in many developed countries
but substantially increased in emerging countries across Asia and Africa. The prevalence of treated ESRD patients
has increased worldwide, primarily because of improving ESRD survival, population demographic shifts, higher
prevalence of ESRD risk factors, and increasing access to Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), especially in
emerging economies. However, various studies by different research groups have indicated that more than 50%
of the ESRD population needing treatment worldwide still don’t have access to proper dialysis or kidney transplant
facilities. The proportion of people with ESRD not receiving treatment is much higher in low and lower-middle
income countries than in established nations. In high-income countries, while more than 95% of patients with
kidney failure can access dialysis, this drops drastically to only 32% in low-income countries. As CKD and ESRD
cases increase, the number of patients undergoing dialysis globally is projected to increase at a CAGR of 5.0%
from about 4.26 million people in 2024 to 5.45 million by 2029, with the majority of the growth from untapped
Asian countries such as India and China.
Established economies have well penetrated dialysis services infrastructure
As per the Center for Disease Control (CDC) data of 2023, CKD affects about 36 million Americans (which is
more than 1 out of 7 US adults) or 14% of the population. Diabetes and hypertension are the two most common
causes of CKD in the US. Nearly 1 in 3 people with diabetes and 1 in 5 people with high blood pressure have
kidney-related issues in the country. The US Medicare program spends more than USD 130 billion – more than
24% of total spending on patients with kidney disease. Further, end-stage kidney disease, which affects only 1
percent of Medicare beneficiaries, accounts for 7% of Medicare spending (USD 38 billion). In 2024, the Center
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the US increased the renal dialysis reimbursement rate to USD
271.02. Compared to many established countries, dialysis is better managed in the US due to varied factors such
as higher government spending, early diagnosis, better infrastructure for providing dialysis services, higher
investment from private organized dialysis services providers, etc.
In the majority of European countries, dialysis (both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) is predominantly
covered by public funds. This can be fully funded or involve partial fees at the point of delivery. In Germany,
both hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are deemed medically equivalent for end-stage renal disease
(ESRD) and reimbursed equally by the German statutory health insurance (SHI), which also covers transport to
in-clinic HD. In France, dialysis-related costs are fully covered by the National Health Insurance Fund (Caisse
Nationale Assurance Maladie) as part of the French Social Security System, regardless of the care provider
(public, private for-profit, or private not-for-profit). The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) provides
comprehensive coverage for dialysis. Reimbursement rates are lower compared to other high-income countries,
but the system ensures universal access. The Netherlands has a well-structured reimbursement system that
incentivizes home HD and PD. Reimbursement rates for home HD are higher than in many other European
countries.
While European nations have full coverage for dialysis services, they are also facing an unprecedented challenge
of ESRD diagnosis due to poor awareness levels among patients. This ultimately leads to increased spending on
treatment from all the stakeholders involved. Unfortunately, cost-effective treatment choices are not available to
all European CKD patients. Reimbursement variations for dialysis services have also been observed across
European countries like Germany, France and the UK, which are key markets for many dialysis service providers
in Europe.
Due to the large number of patients undergoing dialysis, the US and Europe are the biggest markets for many
dialysis services providers. In the US, most of the dialysis services are provided through private, for-profit,
standalone dialysis service providers. Fresenius Medical Care (FMC), DaVita and Diaverum are the major dialysis
service providers across the US and Europe regions. In the US, FMC and Davita have a combined share of more
than 70% of all dialysis units in the country, accounting for about 5,300 dialysis clinics as of 2024. In the European
market as well, FMC and DaVita, along with Diaverum are major dialysis services providers offering dialysis
services. These companies are focused on expanding their dialysis services business across the continents through
both organic and inorganic growth. Most of the dialysis service providers are establishing contracts with
government agencies to expand their reach across large number of ESRD patients.
239As dialysis in emerging economies is currently underpenetrated due to low diagnosis rate and low
awareness, the growth potential is high, driven by investment in infrastructure, expansion of organized
clinic networks and increase in awareness leading to growth in volume of treatments.
Globally, the major burden of CKD is likely to fall in Asia, which is home to more than 4.8 billion people as of
2024, or 60% of the world’s population. It is estimated that about 434.3 million32 adults have CKD in the APAC
region as of 2022. Asia-Pacific (APAC) region faces a significant burden of CKD, with a high prevalence and
increasing incidence, driven by rising diabetes, hypertension, and aging populations, particularly in countries like
China and India.
Established Asian countries like Japan and South Korea have quality dialysis services system with access to all
patients, while developing and emerging countries such as China, Philippines and India are unable to provide
dialysis services to all eligible patients currently, because of poor infrastructure, lack of affordability due to
relatively lower income per capita for the majority and limited reimbursements coverage by governments.
However, with increasing healthcare spending by the governments and growing participation of both global and
domestic dialysis service providers, the market is expected to witness strong growth across many nations in the
continent.
In emerging economies, investment in infrastructure is key to addressing gaps in providing access to patients to
undergo dialysis services. With the increase in the number of clinics, increasing awareness and better
reimbursement coverage, the volume of patients undergoing treatment would increase in the future.
The annual dialysis spend is higher in high-income countries such as the US and European countries compared to
emerging economies and developing regions. Further, the adoption of dialysis service is high in advanced
economies. In countries such as India, Philippines and Uzbekistan, the unmet need for dialysis service is high as
less than 30% of the eligible population have access to dialysis services.

Emergence of Single-specialty and Standalone Clinics focused on Dialysis
The landscape of healthcare delivery for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) has witnessed a
significant shift with the emergence and proliferation of single specialty clinics dedicated primarily, if not
exclusively, to dialysis services. This trend marks a departure from the traditional model where dialysis was often
integrated within larger hospital systems or general nephrology clinics. The rise of these specialized clinics reflects
a growing recognition of the unique and intensive needs of dialysis patients, coupled with economic and
operational advantages. The growth of these clinics is driven by several key factors, including increasing demand
for dialysis services, advancements in technology, and favorable economic models.
Table 3.3: Key Factors Driving Growth of Standalone specialty Dialysis clinics

Growing global demand for dialysis services has highlighted the need for a greater number of standalone dialysis
clinics or advancements in home HD dialysis and PD services globally. Except for a few established countries,
the majority of the dialysis hotbed countries are yet to focus on growing the home HD and PD dialysis segment.
Thus, in a highly sizeable, underpenetrated and fast-growing global dialysis market, the growth in the dialysis
service is going to be driven by the adoption of in-clinic dialysis services due to the scaling up of standalone
clinics, which have higher return on investment potential when successful. These clinics are the means to reduce
the rural and urban divide and have the ability to reduce overall cost per treatment to patients. Hence, during the
forecast period, the growth of standalone dialysis clinics, especially in emerging economies, is expected to narrow
the demand-supply gap in dialysis services. However, the Indian dialysis market presents a different growth story
with movement from hospital in-sourced to hospital outsourced dialysis services model, with a key role being
played by organized dialysis service providers. The opening of standalone dialysis clinics by major organized
dialysis service providers is still at a very nascent stage in India and accounts for a minimal share of overall
revenue.
Dominance of Organized networks in Dialysis Services
Standalone dialysis service providers such as Fresenius Medical Care, DaVita, NephroPlus, and Diaverum have
demonstrated significant expansion in terms of the number of clinics, patients served, and geographic reach.
Fresenius operates a vast network of 4,163 dialysis clinics globally and serves over 346,000 patients globally.
DaVita operates a significant number of outpatient dialysis clinics and has 3,166 outpatient dialysis clinics, with
2,657 located in the US and 509 clinics in 11 other countries, serving over 281,100 patients globally. NephroPlus
operates over 490 dialysis clinics across four countries (India, Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal) and serves more
than 33,000 patients annually. Diaverum has a strong presence in Europe and other international markets,
operating around 650 clinics across 24 countries and serving over 45,000 patients annually. All of the above major
players are actively expanding their networks, patient reach, and geographic presence. Fresenius Medical Care
and DaVita have a significant global footprint, with DaVita making notable strides in Latin America. NephroPlus
241is a major player in India with a growing international presence. Diaverum has a strong base in Europe and is
strategically expanding into new regions like the Middle East. This expansion reflects the increasing need for
dialysis services globally and the strategic importance of providing accessible and specialized care to ESRD
patients.
While the share of large, standalone organized dialysis networks is high (more than 70%) in regions such as the
US and Europe, it is very less in other regions like APAC, Latin America and Middle East (less than 25%).

There's a trend towards consolidation in the dialysis market, with larger networks acquiring smaller clinics to
expand their reach and market share. This can lead to improved quality standards and better access in some areas
but might also raise concerns about market competition. Governments in various countries are implementing
initiatives to contract with organized networks to improve access to quality dialysis care. For example, India's
Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) aims to increase access through public-private
partnerships. Increasing emphasis on quality standards and accreditation for dialysis clinics drive growth of
organized networks. Emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, and Africa present significant growth
opportunities for organized players. The approach to dialysis service delivery in these regions is changing due to
government support, emphasis on quality and increased affordability. India, the Philippines and Uzbekistan have
a combined dialysis market size of about USD 1.9 billion, with more than 49 million in aggregate dialysis
treatments per year in 2025, and expected to witness higher revenue growth of 19.3% (India), 22.6% (Philippines)
and 16.7% (Uzbekistan) between 2024 and 2029. South East Asia, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States)
and Middle East markets, including countries such as Malaysia and Kazakhstan present a large market and growth
potential, and attractive market dynamics including but not limited to increasing incidence of chronic kidney
disease, under-penetration of organized dialysis services, rising healthcare expenditure and higher price realization
per treatment thereby resulting in potentially higher profit margins for organized players.
242Expansion of Organized Players through Mergers and Acquisitions
The dialysis services industry has seen significant consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, with large
players like Fresenius Medical Care and DaVita acquiring smaller providers, leading to a more concentrated
market landscape. Fresenius Medical closed a three-way merger (between InterWell Health, Cricket Health and
Fresenius Health Partners) in the U.S in 2022 to create InterWell Health, aiming to manage care for over 270,000
Americans with kidney disease by 2025. Davita announced to expand operations in Brazil and Colombia and enter
Chile and Ecuador through acquisitions from Fresenius Medical Care. Fresenius Medical Care's Dialysis Clinics,
a Brazilian provider of kidney dialysis services, was acquired by DaVita for USD 300.0 million in 2024. During
the time of acquisition, Fresenius Medical Care was serving over 30,000 patients in the four Latin American
countries. This expansion is set to make DaVita the largest dialysis services provider in Latin America. While all
major global players are expanding by M&A. DaVita Care India, which was serving 1,700 dialysis patients
through its 22 clinics, exited the Indian market in 2022 by selling its operations to NephroPlus, signifying the
operational challenge of large global players in emerging markets such as India. NephroPlus has a significant
presence in India, Uzbekistan, Philippines, Nepal and Saudi Arabia market. The company expanded into the
Philippines by acquiring a majority stake in Royal Care Dialysis Clinics, aiming to become the dominant dialysis
network in the country by 2025. Carlyle Group acquired Baxter's Kidney Care segment, Vantive, for USD 3.8
billion in 2024. Dialysis markets are well understood by various global investors worldwide for more than 10
years and significant investments have been made in this market. For example, Berkshire Hathaway (under the
leadership of Warren Buffett) owns 44% of DaVita shares as of today.
Global Revenue Forecast for Dialysis Services
Revenue from dialysis services was estimated to be around USD 75.2 billion in 2024 and it is estimated to grow
at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2024 to 2029) to reach around USD 106.2 billion by 2029 driven
by factors such as increasing prevalence of CKD, improved diagnosis of ESRD and increasing access to dialysis
service.
The dialysis services market is growing on account of the rise in dialysis treatments due to both growing number
of CKD patients in established economies, as well as a rapid growth in emerging economies in the Asia region,
such as India, the Philippines and China. The increase in the number of dialysis patients is not translated linearly
into higher global revenues due to lower adherence and lower cost per treatment, especially in emerging
economies. However, the improvement in the public reimbursement ratio of dialysis services would result in a
higher number of CKD population opting for dialysis services, thus increasing the penetration of dialysis
population. However, lack of complete reimbursement and high cost of dialysis treatments in non-reimbursement
scenarios impacts treatment adherence, leading to an average number of treatments conducted per week per patient
2.7 as against the recommended 3 per week.33
33 Source: Frost & Sullivan
243While the lifestyle diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are already driving growth in the number of CKD
patients globally, there is increased demand for quality services and holistic care from patients, which can be met
only by organized dialysis networks.
Revenue forecasts for North America, Europe, APAC, and Rest of the World (ROW)
North America and Europe accounted for more than 70% of the global revenue share in the dialysis service market
in 2024. The high share in these regions is due to factors such as higher cost of treatment per treatment and high
ratio of population undergoing treatment annually, government reimbursement and presence of established
organized network improving the access to treatment. However, North America and Europe are expected to have
lower growth compared to other regions like the Asia-Pacific and Latin America due to current higher penetration
in the dialysis services market.
Asia-Pacific currently accounts for about 18.7% of the global revenue share in dialysis services in 2024. However,
the emerging economies in the region are expected to register higher growth rate during the forecast period, on
account of growth in dialysis services utilization driven by the increase in prevalence of CKD population, high
prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, growth in organized networks improving the access, increased dialysis
reimbursement situation, growing awareness around CKD, increase in affordability for patients, and
advancements in healthcare infrastructures and medical technologies.
Profile of key dialysis Service providers globally
The dialysis services industry is a highly fragmented market with very few organized players operating to serve a
huge unmet need. While players such as Fresenius Medical, DaVita, US Renal Care and Diaverum have
accelerated the transition of dialysis services to a standalone organized market in North America and Europe
regions, companies such as NephroPlus are leading the acceleration in Asian market. As the market is highly
fragmented, market leadership is driven by the volume of patients serviced by the facilities and revenue generated
by the number of dialysis treatments conducted. Patient adherence to dialysis treatment across different
geographies plays an important role in the market leadership of dialysis services providers. With the growing
demand for quality services globally, expansion of the private sector into other countries has been a growing trend
for most of the market participants. Thus, future growth of dialysis services is driven by successful growth of
standalone clinics which is ably supported by global organized service providers.

INDIAN DIALYSIS SERVICE PROVIDER MARKET
Market Evolution of Dialysis Services
Table 4.1: Evolution of Dialysis Service in India
Period Description
Limited Dialysis Facilities: Before 2000, dialysis services in India were primarily concentrated in
Early Development major cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai, with very few dialysis clinics available
Stage (estimated to be less than 100). Most dialysis equipment and supplies relied on imports, resulting
Pre-2000 in high costs and limited accessibility to dialysis treatment. Moreover, dialysis was provided as
part of hospitals facility and no major standalone chain was present.
Low Awareness of CKD: Public awareness of CKD was relatively low, leading to delayed
diagnoses and treatment. Many patients were unable to receive timely dialysis, resulting in poor
prognosis and high mortality rates.
Expansion of Dialysis Clinics: From 2000 to 2010, the number of dialysis clinics in India gradually
increased. By 2010, the number of dialysis clinics had grown to approximately 1,000. Private
Nascent Growth sector participation began to rise, with private hospitals and clinics establishing dialysis
Stage departments to meet growing demand.
(2000–2010) Technological Advancements: During this period, India's dialysis technology saw some progress.
Hemodialysis became more widely adopted, and peritoneal dialysis also began to gain traction.
Dialysis equipment and technology were continuously improved, enhancing treatment outcomes
and patient survival rates.
Significant Increase in Dialysis Clinics: Between 2010 and 2020, the number of dialysis clinics in
India grew rapidly. By 2020, the total number of dialysis clinics had reached approximately 4,000.
Private dialysis clinics accounted for about 70% of the total, becoming the dominant force in the
dialysis market. Global players like Fresenius and DaVita entered the India market to capture the
growing opportunity and Indian players like NephroPlus, AKC started growing large and
organized.
Advancements in Dialysis Technology: Dialysis technology in India made significant strides
Initial Expansion during this period. Hemodialysis techniques were refined, and short daily hemodialysis and
Stage (2010–2020) nocturnal hemodialysis began to emerge. Peritoneal dialysis technology also improved, with
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal dialysis (APD)
gaining wider adoption. Dialysis equipment became more automated and intelligent, improving
treatment safety and efficacy.
Increased Government Investment: The Indian government continued to increase investment in
healthcare, implementing programs such as the National Dialysis Services Program to enhance
dialysis service accessibility. The Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP)
provided free dialysis services to underprivileged patients, significantly improving access to
treatment
Further Expansion of Dialysis Clinics: By 2024, India had about 5,000 dialysis clinics, with private
dialysis clinics accounting for about 80% of the share. The population undergoing dialysis reached
Focused about 200,000 in 2020 and currently it is about 285,000, and the majority (> 98%) opt for
Development Stage hemodialysis over peritoneal dialysis.
(2020–Present) Efficiency improvement and improved outcomes: Large organized networks such as NephroPlus,
DCDC, Apex Kidney Care, Apollo Dialysis, RAHI Care and 7Med improved dialysis efficiency
through protocols, training and leveraging advanced technology. Personalized dialysis treatment
plans tailored to individual patient needs emerged, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Disease Burden trends
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases,
and diabetes, are witnessing a significant and concerning rise in India, posing a substantial threat to public health
and socioeconomic development. This surge is driven by a complex interplay of factors related to lifestyle
changes, urbanization, and an aging population. NCDs are now the leading cause of death and disability in India,
accounting for a significant majority of total deaths. Deaths attributable to NCDs rose from 36% in 1990 to 65%
in 2021.
245Diabetes and hypertension are among the leading noncommunicable diseases in India, posing a significant burden
on public health. Since 1990, the burden of diabetes in India has been steadily increasing, accelerating significantly
after 2000. Over the past decade, diabetes prevalence has shown a continuous upward trend. As per a Lancet
journal study, about 101 million people in India were diabetic in 2023, and it is estimated to grow to 134 million
by 2030. Urban areas exhibit higher diabetes prevalence rates than rural areas. For instance, in urban populations
over the age of 40, diabetes prevalence reaches as high as 28%. India also has a huge count of undiagnosed diabetic
population which are generally unaware of their symptoms. Owing to unavailability of proper diagnostics clinics,
large part of rural population goes undiagnosed leading to lower prevalence compared to urban India.
Similar to diabetes, hypertension prevalence in India has been increasing over the past few decades. With
urbanization and lifestyle changes, hypertension is becoming more prevalent among younger populations and in
rural areas. The prevalence of hypertension is estimated at 35.5% among adults, and of the estimated 220 million
people in India living with hypertension, only 12% have their blood pressure under control. Many cases go
unreported as people are not aware of their symptoms and do not get diagnosed so that required treatment can be
started.
In India, Diabetes is the major cause of CKD and ESRD, which accounts for 33% of the causes, followed by
hypertension (13%).34 Around 40%-60% of CKD patients in India have either diabetes or hypertension
highlighting how these two NCDs are catalyzing the growth of CKD in the country. Both diabetes and
hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) damage the blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons.
Once the damage occurs to kidneys’ blood vessels, they may no longer function correctly. When this occurs,
kidneys are unable to eliminate all toxins and excess fluid from the body leading to CKD. Hence, diabetes and
hypertension patients need to undergo regular diagnosis to keep a check on the onset of CKD.
CKD and ESRD Burden and Increasing Dialysis Needs
Overall, CKD prevalence in India stands at 8.7% of the total population. Considering India had 1.43 billion a total
population in 2024, the absolute number of CKD patients is huge, i.e., 123.7 million. Escalating the grave situation
further is the very low CKD diagnosis in the country, where only about 7% (8.5 million) of the CKD population
is diagnosed, creating an urgent need for creating awareness amongst the masses. Among the diagnosed
population, 4.2 million patients are at stage 5 (ESRD) in 2024, who require regular dialysis or a kidney transplant.
However, as per Frost & Sullivan estimates, only 0.28 million patients in 2024 underwent dialysis in the country.
As per WHO norms, the frequency of dialysis treatment should be 3 to 4 times per week, but in India, it stands at
about 2 - 3 treatments per week. The total number of dialysis patients is expected to increase to from 0.28 million
in 2024 to 0.52 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.7%.
As the CKD population increases and the diagnosis rate improves, there is a growing number of ESRD patients
who require dialysis. Between 2019 and 2024, the number of ESRD patients requiring dialysis increased from
2.8 million to 4.2 million, and this represents an increase of 50.0% and a CAGR of 8.3%. The ESRD population
is expected to grow to 6.9 million in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.6%.
In India, more than 3,25,000 new patients each year develop ESRD, leading to a significant demand for
dialysis. While India has around 5,000 dialysis clinics, including 1,621 clinics under the Pradhan Mantri National
Dialysis Program (PMNDP), the demand for dialysis treatments is still significantly higher. The southern states
like Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana have more dialysis units per district
compared to northern states. Majority (around 70%) of the population undergoing dialysis in India is concentrated
in nine states including, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Gujarat, Kerala,
Rajasthan, and Bihar. Considering the urban areas, Maharashtra accounts for about 13% share of actual dialysis
cases followed by Uttar Pradesh (12%), Tamil Nadu (9%) and West Bengal (8%). On the other hand, Uttar
Pradesh is leading state with 19% market share in rural areas followed by Bihar (11%), West Bengal, Maharashtra,
and Andhra Pradesh (7% each).
A growing middle-class population, higher disposable income levels, increasing incidence of CKD, high levels of
awareness and an increase in CKD screening/ diagnostic testing would result in a greater number of people seeking
dialysis treatment in India. Growing market penetration of dialysis chains, like NephroPlus, Apex, DCDC etc. is
likely to bring operational and clinical improvement within the sector.

Challenges and Access Issues in Dialysis Service
• Low public awareness of CKD: In the early stages of CKD, symptoms are often subtle and nonspecific,
such as fatigue, swelling, and breathlessness. Many people fail to recognize these as signs of kidney disease
and do not seek timely medical attention. Additionally, the public has limited knowledge of CKD risk factors
like diabetes, hypertension, and family history. Majority of patients with diabetes were unaware of the link
between diabetes and CKD, resulting in missed opportunities for early intervention. Moreover, awareness of
the screening tests remains low, particularly in rural areas. Even among high-risk individuals, primary
healthcare providers and physicians underutilize eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) and urinalysis
tests, leading to missed diagnoses.
• Uneven Distribution of Dialysis Clinics: Research studies conducted at primary care level indicate large
inequities in accessing dialysis services, especially in rural India which is home to two third of country’s
population. As per healthcare experts, approximately 90% of all the Indian dialysis facilities are in urban
areas (i.e., metro cities and tier I and tier II cities). According to a research study conducted by Kidney 360,
more than 60% of patients on dialysis had to travel about 50 km to access HD, and nearly a quarter of them
lived 100 km away from the facility. Moreover, in states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, despite having a
relatively smaller rural population, dialysis machines are comparatively higher. In contrast, states such as
Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with larger rural populations, face inadequate access to dialysis services. In addition,
there are several obstacles to access CKD care at the primary care level in rural India, which includes lack of
targeted CKD screening programs, dearth of skilled healthcare professionals, absence of essential diagnostics,
and medications for CKD patients.
• Insufficient Dialysis Equipment and Clinics: According to industry estimates, India currently has 40,000
dialysis machines, approximately 5,000 dialysis clinics and 20,000 dialysis staff (technicians and nurses).
However, to meet the needs of existing patients not getting dialysis and more than 3,25,000 new ESRD
patients annually, India requires more than 105,000 HD machines, 10,000 HD clinics and 40,000 dialysis
staff. This leaves gaps of approximately 65,000 machines and 5,000 clinics.
247• Poor adherence by CKD patients towards dialysis services: HD is usually done thrice a week, in developed
countries such as US and UK, while in India, only 50% of patients are dialyzed 3 times a week, 47% undergo
2 times a week and rest undergo HD only once a week.35 As per a study published in National Library of
Medicine, increasing dialysis time and/or frequency of dialysis treatments tend to provide better results.
However, most of the patients in India do not like to increase their treatment time and/or frequency, because
of various reasons like lack of availability of attendants to accompany them for dialysis, living far from
dialysis clinics, having limited finances, and higher preference for optimal treatment that is pocket friendly.
Hence, patient education and financial support are two crucial factors to drive higher adherence among CKD
patients undergoing dialysis in the country.
• Late Diagnosis: A large proportion (about 50%) of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients first seek medical
attention at the ESRD stage, leading to emergency HD treatments. This delays the initiation of dialysis and
worsens patient outcomes.
• Professional shortage: India has one of the lowest nephrology workforce densities worldwide. There are
only about 2,600 nephrologists, or 1.90 per million population, as against the global median rate of 9.95 per
million, and there is a chronic shortage of dialysis nurses and technicians in the country. Additionally, short-
duration training courses are needed to upskill existing nurses, doctors, and allied professionals. The country
also lacks sufficient training clinics to deliver dialysis-related training.
To address these challenges, the Indian government has implemented policies such as the Pradhan Mantri National
Dialysis Programme (PMNDP) and Ayushman Bharat. Additionally, private sector participation and the
emergence of dialysis chains have improved access to dialysis services. However, more initiatives are needed to
enhance healthcare infrastructure, increase the number of skilled professionals, optimize reimbursement policies,
and raise public awareness of CKD to ensure broader access to dialysis services for patients.
Regulations supporting dialysis market in India
Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP): Since the launch of PMNDP in 2016, Government
of India has become very proactive in supporting the dialysis services in the country. PMNDP aims to provide
free dialysis services to economically disadvantaged patients through a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Under the programme, the private partners provide essential equipment and resources, including medical staff,
dialysis machines, Reverse Osmosis (RO) water plants, dialyzers, and consumables and the state/UT government
provides the infrastructure within district hospitals, including space, power, and water supply. The government’s
National Health Mission reimburses 100% of the service procedure costs for economically weaker patients, and
others can access the services at the same rates paid by the government for economically weaker patients. As of
March 2025, PMNDP covers 36 states and union territories, with 1,621 dialysis clinics. Several guidelines around
setting up HD clinics, establishing infrastructure to conduct PD at home, how to perform infection prevention and
control in dialysis facilities etc., have been released by the Ministry of Health from time to facilitate service
providers in providing quality services to the dialysis patients in the country. During pandemic, new set of
guidelines were released given high risk to CKD patients exposed to the COVID-19 virus. Non-government bodies
such as Indian Society of Nephrology also support government in drafting key regulations and guidelines
governing dialysis services in the country.
Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY): One of the world's largest government-
funded health insurance programs, PMJAY covers secondary and tertiary healthcare services for over 500 million
beneficiaries from economically disadvantaged families and groups. Dialysis treatment falls under its coverage,
further improving access to dialysis services for low-income populations. Under the PMJAY scheme, the
government reimburses an average of ₹ 1,650.
Medical Devices Rules 2017: Regulated by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), the
Medical Devices Rules 2017 classify dialysis machines as Class C medical devices due to their medium-to-high
risk level. The rules require dialysis equipment marketed in India to be registered with the CDSCO, ensuring
safety, quality, and efficacy. CDSCO regulations for dialysis machines monitor and control their safety, quality,
and efficacy, preventing substandard equipment from entering the market. This ensures high-quality dialysis
treatment for patients and maintains the standards of India's healthcare sector
Clinical Establishments Act (CEA): The CEA regulates the operations of clinical establishments, including
dialysis clinics, to improve healthcare service quality. Under the CEA, dialysis clinics must adhere to specific

248standards to ensure the safety and quality of dialysis services. This regulation enhances the management and
operational standards of dialysis clinics, safeguarding patient interests.
Gujarat has been a major beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP), a national
initiative providing free dialysis to eligible patients. Gujarat has seen the expansion of dialysis clinics and a
significant number of patients benefiting from the program. As of March 2025, Gujarat has the highest share of
functional dialysis clinics (17%). Excluding Gujarat, Southern states such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala
have a high number of dialysis clinics.
Gujarat's Dialysis Program (GDP), launched in 2010 under the aegis of the Gujarat government and managed by
the Institute of Kidney Diseases & Research Centre (IKDRC), has achieved remarkable success. GDP offers free
dialysis services to patients with chronic kidney disease, and has significantly alleviated the financial burden of
dialysis treatment for patients and their families. Since its inception in 2010, GDP has benefited over 1.7 million
patients, and as of 2022, it had surpassed 12 lakh dialysis treatments annually. GDP is managed by IKDRC, which
provides trained manpower, consumables, maintenance, nephrologists, and fistula surgeons for end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) patients. The Gujarat government allocates space at district hospitals, sub-district hospitals,
medical colleges, and GMERS medical colleges to operate these clinics. GDP has become a model for dialysis
service delivery in India. Through its extensive network of dialysis clinics, high-quality services, and
249comprehensive benefits for patients, it has significantly improved access to dialysis services and enhanced the
quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease.
Growing Role of Private Dialysis Service Providers in Addressing the Challenges and Unmet Need in
Dialysis
Due to the huge unmet need in dialysis services, private dialysis service providers have actively stepped into the
market, playing an increasingly important role in addressing the access and affordability challenges in dialysis
services. Compared to many other emerging economies, India houses considerable number of dialysis clinics
which include clinics run and managed by government, private players, NGOs, and trusts. However, large ESRD
population base creates a huge demand supply gap in dialysis services market.
Expanding Dialysis Clinic Coverage: In India, more than 80% of dialysis clinics are privately operated. Private
dialysis service providers have established numerous clinics across the country, particularly in urban areas,
offering patients convenient access to dialysis services. For instance, NephroPlus, a leading private dialysis service
provider in India, operates 447 dialysis clinics across 269 cities.
Venturing into Rural Markets: Private dialysis service providers are increasingly entering rural markets to
enhance dialysis accessibility. For example, the Dialysis Services Providers Association of India (DSPAI)
advocates for the expansion of standalone dialysis clinics through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and non-PPP
channels, aiming to reduce the travel burden for rural patients. Some private dialysis service providers leverage
mobile dialysis units to bring dialysis services closer to patients in rural areas and small towns
Adopting Advanced Dialysis Technologies: Private dialysis service providers actively invest in and adopt
advanced dialysis technologies to improve treatment outcomes. For example, they introduce high-flux dialysis
membranes, automated dialysis machines, and remote monitoring systems to enhance dialysis efficiency and
safety. Fresenius Medical Care, a major global med-tech player, has introduced its advanced dialysis equipment
and technologies into India, enabling private dialysis clinics to provide patients with more effective and
comfortable dialysis experiences. NephroPlus, in 2018, introduced first of its kind buttonhole needles for painless
dialysis for its patients undergoing in-clinic dialysis. The buttonhole needle technique involves inserting dull
needles into the same designated spot on the fistula (the connection between an artery and vein) for each dialysis
treatment.
Establishing Quality Standards and Protocols: Private dialysis service providers place a strong emphasis on
quality management and establish strict dialysis service standards and protocols to ensure treatment quality and
safety. For instance, NephroPlus has developed a comprehensive quality management system that covers patient
assessment, dialysis treatment, and post-treatment follow-up, ensuring that each dialysis treatment meets high-
quality standards. The Dialysis Services Providers Association of India (DSPAI) also promotes the development
of standardized operating protocols to improve the overall quality of dialysis services in India. Notable founding
members DSPAI include leading organized networks such as NephroPlus, Apex Kidney Care, DCDC Kidney
Care, RAHI Care, Apollo Dialysis, 7Med, and VitusCare. DSPAI also sets out to engage with the government and
policy makers to develop equitable policies for the dialysis community to ensure quality delivery and sustenance
of the industry, which keep patient care at the centre while building a robust ecosystem of dialysis care providers.
Introducing Diversified Payment Models: Private dialysis service providers collaborate with insurance
companies and government agencies to develop diversified payment models to reduce the financial burden on
patients. For example, they partner with insurance companies to design specialized dialysis insurance products or
participate in government reimbursement programs. Organized networks such as NephroPlus and Apex Kidney
Care deliver dialysis services under initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP)
and various state-level public-private partnership (PPP) models. Through these programs, dialysis providers offer
subsidized or free treatment to economically disadvantaged patients, with costs reimbursed by the government
This expands patient access to dialysis while alleviating financial pressures on patients and their families.
Optimizing Operational Costs: Private dialysis service providers strive to optimize operational costs through
efficient management and technological innovation, reducing dialysis treatment expenses. For instance, they adopt
cost-effective dialysis equipment and consumables while improving operational efficiency to lower service costs.
This enables them to provide patients with affordable dialysis services while ensuring service quality. For instance,
organized players like NephroPlus have institutionalized cost-control measures across their network—such as
centralized procurement, in-house technician training, and digitized monitoring systems—to streamline
operations. These measures not only enhance resource utilization but also significantly reduce the per-treatment
250cost of dialysis, enabling the delivery of affordable, high-quality care to a broader patient base. Such efforts are
critical in a market like India, where out-of-pocket expenditure remains high, and affordability is a key barrier to
treatment adherence. By lowering service costs without compromising on quality, providers are making dialysis
more financially accessible and scalable, especially in underserved regions.
Addressing the Workforce Shortage: Private dialysis service providers offer competitive salaries, training and
certification programs and other benefits to attract and retain dialysis professionals. They provide good working
environments and career development opportunities to enhance the appeal of the dialysis profession. For instance,
NephroPlus’s Enpidia training academy is a flagship program aimed at addressing the shortage of skilled dialysis
technicians in India. The program trains young individuals with specialized skills to meet the growing patient care
needs and standardize dialysis training in India to ensure quality kidney care for all. In collaboration with the U.S.-
based certification agency, Board of Nephrology Examiners Nursing and Technology (BONENT), Enpidia
provides dialysis certification. It also offers dialysis courses under Bharat Sevak Samaj, a government-owned
organization. Enpidia is India’s only institute accredited by the BONENT,
Leading Organized Dialysis Service Providers
In India, there are very few scaled organized dialysis chain networks such as NephroPlus, DCDC, Apollo Dialysis,
Apex Kidney Care, RAHI Care, VitusCare and 7Med. The patient share and revenue share of organized dialysis
chain networks are increasing as they are witnessing higher growth in the number of patients served compared to
unorganized sector (Table 4.2). The annual number of patients served by scaled, organized dialysis networks is
expected to nearly double from 2024 to 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.4%. The revenue share of organized
dialysis services providers in the overall dialysis service market is expected to increase from 13.4% in 2019 to
15.8% in 2029. More than 3,25,000 new patients get added to End Stage Renal Disorder (“ESRD”) list every
year, resulting in additional demand for more than 4.2 million dialysis treatments every year.
NephroPlus is the largest organized dialysis service network in India, having 447 clinics across 269 cities and 21
states and four union territories, and serving over 33,000 patients globally on an annual basis. Among the
organized players, NephroPlus leads in both the patients served and revenue. NephroPlus has more than 50%
revenue share among organized dialysis networks. NephroPlus is the largest dialysis service provider in Asia in
2025 and the fifth largest globally based on the number of treatments performed in Fiscal 2025. NephroPlus is the
most widely distributed dialysis network in India with an extensive pan-India network of clinics across 269 cities,
and it is the only Indian dialysis services provider that has scaled internationally. In Fiscal 2025, NephroPlus
served 29,281 patients and completed 28,85,450 treatments in India, which represented approximately 10% of the
total dialysis patients in India. In the organized sector, NephroPlus faces competition from international companies
such as Fresenius Medical, DaVita, US Renal Care and Diaverum, and domestic companies such as DCDC, Apex
Kidney Care, Apollo Dialysis, RAHI Care, VitusCare and 7Med. In India, NephroPlus is the leader in dialysis
services in Fiscal 2025, with a market share of over 50% of the organized market (in terms of number of
treatments) and approximately 50% share in terms of revenue generated by organized dialysis service providers.

Organized players Driving PPP in Dialysis Services
One of the key goals of PMNDP (rolled out in 2016) is to provide free or subsidized dialysis services to
economically weaker patients through PPP mode by reimbursing the private partners for the dialysis treatments
offered. Under the programme, the contract term for the selected private partner is initially 5 years and can be
extended for another 5 years, subject to performance and mutual consent. The price set for treatment is based on
the competitive contract bidding with a 3% escalation per annum, and as per estimates, the reimbursement per
treatment is between ₹ 1,500 to 1,800.36 Through the PPP model, the private partner will provide medical human
resource, dialysis machine along with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water plant infrastructure, dialyzer, and
consumables, while the space, power, and water supply within district hospitals and medical colleges is to be
provided by the state government. Leading organized players such as NephroPlus, DCDC, RAHICare and Apollo
Dialysis have partnered with state governments across various states to operate dialysis clinics in hospitals. For
service providers, PPP model enhances accessibility for patients while ensuring a steady inflow of beneficiaries,
leading to improved asset utilization and greater revenue predictability.

India has three tier systems for dialysis services. One is government hospitals which houses separate dialysis
clinics. Second are private dialysis service providers such as hospitals, dialysis chains and clinics run by
nephrologists and technicians. Third, are the NGOs or non-profit trusts who run dialysis services at much cheaper
prices for economically weaker section of the society. However, number of such services is very minimal in the
country. Hence, India’s dialysis services market is primarily driven by private players such as dialysis chains and
hospitals.
Increase in Outsourcing of dialysis services by Hospitals
In order to cater to a higher number of dialysis patients and provide affordable services, both hospitals and dialysis
chains are testing different business models. One such operating model is ‘Captive Model’ where a dialysis service
provider sets up dialysis clinics on the hospital site and run the services by using its own brand name. This
arrangement facilitates seamless patient acquisition and retention, while financial terms between the hospital and
the dialysis provider are governed by predefined contractual agreements. Such a business model is a win-win
approach for hospitals, dialysis service providers, doctors, and patients. Many organized dialysis service providers
such as NephroPlus, DCDC and RAHICare have been partnering with different private hospitals for more than 15
years to offer dialysis services in hospital’s premises. This model is a growing trend, where many large established
hospitals are increasingly looking to outsource their dialysis services to a organized standalone chain like
NephroPlus, presenting opportunities for the outsourced partners to expand their presence.

252Dialysis requires specialized technical staff, including nephrologists, dialysis nurses, and technicians. However,
India faces a severe shortage of such professionals. Outsourcing dialysis services allows hospitals to leverage the
professional teams of private organizations, ensuring standardized and high-quality dialysis services. Moreover,
dialysis care entails substantial capital and operational costs—including the procurement and maintenance of
equipment, recurring consumable expenses, and human resource overheads. For many hospitals, especially those
without scale, running independent dialysis units may not be financially viable in the long term. By partnering
with specialized dialysis chains, hospitals can reduce their administrative and operational burden while ensuring
cost-effective, scalable, and clinically robust care delivery for patients. Private organized players typically have
more professional expertise and experience in managing dialysis services, enabling them to optimize processes
and improve operational efficiency. They also possess advanced dialysis equipment and professional technical
teams, enabling them to provide higher-quality dialysis services. This helps improve treatment outcomes for
patients and enhances their quality of life.
Insurance Coverage in Dialysis Services
Dialysis treatment in India can be a significant financial burden for patients with end-stage renal disease.
Fortunately, various avenues for insurance coverage exist through central and state government schemes, as well
as private sector insurance plans.
Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY): This flagship scheme provides health
coverage of up to ₹ 5,00,000 per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization, which includes
dialysis. It is available to economically weaker sections and aims to reduce out-of-pocket expenditure on
healthcare. PMJAY scheme reimburses an average of ₹ 1,650 (USD 19.3) per dialysis treatment.37
Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS): This scheme provides comprehensive medical care to central
government employees, pensioners, and their dependent family members. It covers the cost of dialysis at
empaneled hospitals. The scheme reimburses an average of around ₹ 1,500 (USD 17.5) per dialysis treatment. This
reimbursement covers other direct medical costs as well.
In addition, several insurance schemes run by state governments cover the cost of dialysis for many people
undergoing this treatment. For instance, Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme in Tamil Nadu
offers ₹ 8,000 (USD 94) per month for maintenance HD. Under the scheme, free dialysis services are provided in
560 government and private health facilities in the state. Dr. YSR Aarogyasri Health Care in Andhra Pradesh
provides health insurance for low-income residents in the state. It covers a variety of treatments, including dialysis,
and offers cashless claims and continuity of care from diagnosis to post-treatment. The Aarogyasri scheme in
Telangana is a government-sponsored community health insurance program offering free quality hospital care and
access to healthcare for Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. The scheme provides a reimbursement of about ₹
1,350 (USD 15.8) per treatment The Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MJPJAY) in Maharashtra
provides financial support for dialysis treatment. The scheme offers a sum assured of ₹ 1.5 lakh per family per
year, which can be used for various medical treatments, including dialysis. The scheme reimburses about ₹ 1,300
(USD 15.2) per treatment.37
Private health insurance companies in India also offer plans that cover dialysis expenses, either as part of a
comprehensive health insurance policy or as a benefit under critical illness plans. Many standard health insurance
policies cover in-patient hospitalization expenses, which would include dialysis treatments conducted in a hospital
setting. Besides insurance coverage, some NGOs and charitable organizations like the Indian Red Cross Society,
Indian Renal Foundation, Kidney Warriors Foundation and NephroPlus Foundation offer free or low-cost dialysis
to underprivileged patients.
Average Annual Spend on Dialysis Service
The number of treatments taken by the patients has an impact on the annual expenditure for the patient which can
annually be about USD 2,750 (₹ 2.3 Lakh) for Hemodialysis and USD 3,550 (₹ 3.0 Lakh) for Peritoneal dialysis.
In addition to the direct cost incurred in dialysis, there are additional costs such as travel, medications, laboratory
tests and nephrologist fees, which can be an additional expenditure of about USD 1,000 – USD 1,200 (₹ 85,500
– 1,02,600) annually, especially for Hemodialysis. Patients undergoing dialysis need regular blood tests and other
laboratory examinations to monitor treatment outcomes and health status. Further, dialysis patients often require
medications such as erythropoietin injections, iron supplements, calcium supplements, and antihypertensive
drugs, and need to consult a Nephrologist during their visit. Government hospitals generally offer dialysis at
37 USD conversion value as on June 30th and rounded off
253significantly lower costs compared to private and corporate hospitals, and the cost of dialysis tends to be higher
in metropolitan cities compared to smaller towns. Programs like the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme
(PMNDP), PMJAY and other state health insurance schemes have significantly reduced the financial burden for
patients belonging to economically weaker sections.
Indian Dialysis Service Market Revenue Forecast
The Indian dialysis service market is valued at about USD 818.0 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach about
USD 1,979.0 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 19.3%. Organized market accounts for approximately 20% of the
market, while standalone private and government clinics account for the remaining 80%. While increasing CKD
prevalence will be a critical factor driving growth, an even more important factor would be increasing awareness
and affordability, given that only 1 in 15 ESRD patients go for dialysis care due to constraints such as accessibility
and affordability. The Indian market is expected to grow at a higher rate (19.3%) in the forecast period (2024 to
2029) compared to the global market (7.1%) and the APAC market (10.9%). The growth of the market is driven
by various factors such as disease or epidemiological factor, treatment adoption or health seeking behavior factor
and ecosystem or market factors.
Disease or epidemiological driver: India is witnessing a significant increase in CKD cases, primarily driven by
the growing incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and other lifestyle diseases. The prevalence of CKD is expected
to increase to about 9 million cases between 2024 and 2029, from about 124 million to 133 million. Further due
to late diagnosis of CKD and accelerated disease progression, there is an increase of about 2.7 million ESRD cases
between 2024 and 2029, from about 4.2 million to 6.9 million.
Treatment adoption or healthcare awareness driver: With improved education, awareness and an increase in
affordability, the population getting diagnosed and further seeking medical treatment or undergoing dialysis is
expected to increase. ESRD cases undergoing dialysis is expected to increase from about 2,85,000 in 2024 to
5,18,000 in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.7%. Similarly, the in-clinic dialysis treatments is expected to increase
from about 33.9 million in 2024 to 66.1 million in 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.3%.
Ecosystem or market drivers: The expansion of specialized renal care clinics by organized providers in tier 2
and tier 3 markets, along with the availability of trained healthcare professionals, is expected to make dialysis
treatments more accessible to patients. Additionally, the government's efforts to enhance healthcare services,
including kidney care through scaling up of PPP partnerships, PMNDP program and PMJAY insurance scheme,
are ensuring that more patients in urban and rural regions have access to dialysis services, driving the market
growth.
254Dominance of In-Clinic Hemodialysis Services
The In-clinic hemodialysis (HD) treatment is perceived as a safer option and remains the treatment of choice for
majority of the patients, accounting for more than 98% of all dialysis therapies in India. Availability of
professional medical team and advanced equipment, Social support and psychological benefits, and government
support and insurance coverage are driving the preference for the in-clinic hemodialysis.
The In-clinic hemodialysis dialysis market is valued at about USD 787.3 million in 2024 and is expected to grow
at a CAGR of 19.4% over the next five years to reach USD 1,910.3 million by 2029. While the market value for
others (Home HD, Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and dialysis for AKI in hospitals) is estimated to be only USD 31.0
million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 68.3 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 17.1%.
255EMERGING MARKET DIALYSIS SERVICE TRENDS
Introduction to Dialysis Services in the Philippines
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health concern in the Philippines, with CKD being the
leading cause of death in the country. About 6.2% of overall mortality is attributed to CKD, causing 46,000 deaths
in 2024. Data from the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) indicates that about one Filipino develops
chronic renal failure every hour. The prevalence of CKD is about 11.4%, which is much higher than median global
rate of 9.6%. Unfortunately, underdiagnosis remains a significant issue among the CKD population in the country.
Among the population with CKD, only about 10% of the population are diagnosed (1.3 million patients), and
about 25% of the diagnosed CKD patients have ESRD. The number of ESRD cases in the country is about
329,000, and it is expected to increase to 465,000 in 2029, growing at a rate of about 7.2%. The Philippines
depends on the national health insurance program, PhilHealth, which ideally guarantees all citizens automatic
enrollment under the Universal Health Care Law of 2019. PhilHealth covers the costs of Hemodialysis (HD),
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and Kidney Transplant (KT) in varying degrees. However, more than 95% of patients
still choose HD over PD, despite better coverage of PD in the past. In general, preference for clinic-based HD
treatments is due to supervised care, patient burnout, family burden, and lack of confidence in self-treatment. The
average price point per treatment in the Philippines was about USD 71.0 in 2024, compared to about USD 22.0
for the Indian market.
Challenges faced in Dialysis services
• Shortage of Dialysis Clinics: Despite the existing dialysis facilities, the demand for dialysis services in the
Philippines still exceeds the supply. According to the Philippines renal disease registry, the country faces a
deficit of 8,000 dialysis stations, with over 100,000 patients urgently needing treatment.
• High Costs: For many patients, dialysis is a long-term treatment, and the associated costs can be a heavy
financial burden. Until 2023, although PhilHealth provided coverage of dialysis for PHD 2,600 (USD 46),
there was an extra cost as a co-payment which amounted to about PHP 500 – 600 (USD 9 – 11). Moreover,
out-of-pocket expenses remain significant for patients, particularly those receiving treatment at private
hospitals or dialysis clinics. In the last quarter of 2024, PhilHealth increased the coverage from PHP 4,000
(USD 71) to PHP 6,350 (USD 110.8) per treatment with no copay from patients, and this is expected to
decrease the copayment burden for patients.38
38
USD conversion values as on June 30th and rounded off
256• Regional Disparities: Dialysis resources are unevenly distributed across regions. Metro Manila and other
urban areas have relatively more dialysis clinics and advanced equipment, while rural and remote regions
may lack sufficient dialysis facilities, making it difficult for patients to access timely treatment.
Market Dynamics of dialysis services in the Philippines
Increasing government reimbursement for dialysis
To address the challenges of accessibility and affordability to dialysis services, the Philippine government has
implemented several policies and initiatives. Dialysis subsidies by the government have surged from USD 300
million in 2022 to USD 1.3 billion in 2025. In 2024, PhilHealth increased the hemodialysis package rate from
PHP 4,000 (USD 71) to PHP 6,350 (USD 111) per treatment, applicable to both public and private dialysis units,
providing financial protection of almost 1 million PHP per patient annually. Private dialysis units are permitted
to charge out-of-pocket fees for services exceeding the minimum standards of care. Nephrologists may also bill
an additional professional fee of up to PHP 500 (USD 9). In 2023, PhilHealth increased the dialysis coverage to
156 treatments from 90 treatments per patient. The Department of Health (DOH) is also encouraging the
establishment of more dialysis clinics, especially in underserved areas, to improve accessibility to dialysis
services. Additionally, the government is taking initiatives to improve access to dialysis services and enhance
treatment outcomes. This includes initiatives like expanding dialysis clinics, adopting advanced equipment, and
fostering public-private partnerships. For instance, the government is implementing initiatives like the National
Policy for Renal Dialysis to expand dialysis clinic coverage and improve healthcare infrastructure, particularly in
areas with limited access. Moreover, the government is planning to scale up PPP programs to increase the number
of hemodialysis (HD) facilities.
More than 4,000 dialysis patients are being added to dialysis services every year in the Philippines
Due to the increasing CKD population leading to ESRD cases, the total number of dialysis patients is expected to
increase by about 35% from 2024 to 2029, reaching from 54,000 to over 80,000 patients. The population
undergoing dialysis is increasing by more than 4,000 every year, and the existing supply of dialysis clinics is
insufficient to meet the growing demand. While the Philippines has a large number of dialysis clinics, it is
concentrated in metro areas, and a large number of kidney disease patients in the Philippines are unable to continue
dialysis because of a lack of access to dialysis facilities. Private dialysis networks dominate the market in the
country.
The private sector plays a major role in providing dialysis services
Dialysis services are provided predominantly by standalone dialysis clinics across the Philippines, while hospital-
based clinics and home dialysis providers also have a presence across the country. There are about 700 accredited
standalone dialysis clinics across the Philippines.39 The top 5 standalone dialysis clinics in the Philippines include
B. Braun Avitum, Hemotek Renal Center NephroPlus (operating as Nephrocare), Fresenius Kidney Care and
Avitus Kidney Care. Irrespective of a large number of clinics being run by private dialysis service providers, most
are covered under PhilHealth Reimbursement program. NephroPlus is the third largest dialysis service provider
in the Philippines in terms of number of clinics in 2024.
NephroPlus announced its acquisition of Renal Therapy Solutions Inc. (RTSI) in 2024, a well-known dialysis
network with six clinics in the Philippines, and in 2025, it acquired seven new dialysis clinics across the
Philippines. The acquisitions have solidified NephroPlus's presence in the Philippine market with a footprint of
34 clinics. Expansion of private networks aims to address the critical shortage of dialysis services in the country.
Beyond clinical services, NephroPlus provides consulting services, operational support, and distributes
specialized dialysis equipment and supplies, positioning itself as a full-service provider in the Philippine dialysis
market.
Access to dialysis facilities has improved in the Philippines; however, differences in treatment uptake are still
evident due to faster growth in the facilities managed by the private sector and non-governmental organizations.
CKD population living in urban areas such as Manila, Quezon City, etc., have easier access to dialysis services
due to a higher concentration of HD clinics compared to rural areas. The inequitable distribution of dialysis clinics
and gaps in care access provides an opportunity for NephroPlus to expand further in the Philippines market.

Revenue Forecast of Dialysis Services in the Philippines
The dialysis service market in the Philippines was valued at USD 492.2 million in 2024, and it is expected to
reach USD 1361.4 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 22.6%. Many reasons can be attributed to a high double-digit
growth rate of dialysis services in the Philippines, with key reasons including constant increase in reimbursement
rates by the government (PhilHealth) and increase in treatments covered, increasing CKD prevalence, growing
awareness around kidney disease treatments and accelerated expansion of private standalone networks improving
access to care.
Dialysis chains run by private dialysis service providers account for a major share (more than 90%) of the
Philippines dialysis services market. A large number of dialysis clinics are already a part of PhilHealth health
reimbursement program. Apart from the dialysis chains, certain hospitals, i.e., institutional facilities such as
National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI), Eastern Samar Provincial Hospital and Tacloban City Hospital
also offer dialysis services in the country. The share of revenue from dialysis services offered through institutional
facilities is expected to decline due to the growing presence of organized private dialysis service networks.
Introduction to Dialysis Services in Uzbekistan
CKD poses a significant disease burden in Uzbekistan, where the prevalence of the condition is expected to
increase at a CAGR of 2.3%, from 4.2 million in 2024 to 4.7 million in 2029. The increasing prevalence of diabetes
and hypertension, coupled with insufficient healthcare infrastructure and a shortage of nephrologists, has led to a
growing CKD burden in Uzbekistan.
Market Dynamics of Dialysis Services in Uzbekistan
Growing number of dialysis patients driven by an increase in CKD diagnosis rate and growth in ESRD population
The total number of patients undergoing dialysis in Uzbekistan is expected to grow from the current base of around
8,500 in 2024 to around 15,000 by 2029 at a CAGR of 12.0% in the given period. This is driven by an increase in
diagnosis rate and adoption of dialysis by patients. The number of the CKD diagnosed population is expected to
increase at a CAGR of about 8.9%, from about 155,000 in 2024 to 237,000 in 2029. The ESRD population pool
258is expected to grow from about 31,500 in 2024 to more than 51,000 in 2029 at a CAGR of 10.4%. Due to the gap
in the number of patients requiring dialysis compared to those undergoing dialysis, there is an opportunity for
NephroPlus to get more PPP projects from the Government.
Rise of Public Private Partnership (PPP) model for offering dialysis services to a large number of CKD patients
In Uzbekistan, the public health benefits program provides free dialysis care for patients with kidney failure.
However, due to limited dialysis capacity and the absence of proper patient referral procedures, not all patients
had equal access to dialysis. Public dialysis units could not meet the demand. Since Uzbekistan's public dialysis
facilities were plagued by outdated infrastructure and equipment, high rates of cross-infections during treatment,
and long waiting times, the government aimed to attract private sector expertise and resources to upgrade dialysis
facilities, improve service quality, and expand coverage. NephroPlus entered the Uzbekistan market following
our successful participation in a competitive public-private partnership tender issued by the Ministry of Health of
Uzbekistan, which it won after a competitive bidding process against major global dialysis players including
Fresenius Medical Care and Diaverum. In 2021, NephroPlus signed the first international PPP in Uzbekistan's
health sector, and in 2022, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a financing package of up to USD 8.4
million with NephroPlus to establish four dialysis clinics as part of PPP arrangement. As per the International
Finance Corporation (IFC), the improved services provided by NephroPlus has led to positive cost benefit, with
dialysis treatments at NephroPlus clinics in Uzbekistan costing the government a lower amount of USD 48 in
2022, compared to USD 60 before the partnership. With the success of the model, the government is planning to
scale up the PPP parentship program. NephroPlus won a USD 75+ million PPP tender, issued by the Ministry of
Health, Republic of Uzbekistan, on certain technical and financial criteria financial criteria, to establish four
clinics including a 165-bedded dialysis clinic in Tashkent, which is the largest dialysis clinic globally.
As a part of the PPP partnership, in 2023, NephroPlus launched the world’s largest dialysis clinic in Tashkent,
with a 165-bed setup, serving over 900 patients.

Revenue Forecast of Dialysis Services in Uzbekistan
The dialysis service market in Uzbekistan was valued at USD 78.9 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach
USD 170.5 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 16.7%. Under the PPP model, the government provides reimbursement
for dialysis services, and the average cost for a dialysis treatment, taking into consideration the market rate and
government PPP rate, is about USD 72.5. The PPP model is aimed at offering scale to partners to provide cost-
effective services at improved quality. The growth of dialysis services in the country will be driven by growth in
CKD prevalence, rising awareness around kidney disease treatments, better diagnosis facilities, higher
government spending on building dialysis infrastructure through PPP and growing participation of private dialysis
service providers who can increase the penetration of dialysis clinics. The Uzbek government continues to actively
promote the development of dialysis services. With the support of international organisations such as International
Finance Corporation (IFC) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), as well as the private enterprises, Uzbekistan's
dialysis services are expected to achieve further growth. More patients will gain access to high-quality dialysis
care, and the dialysis market will continue to expand.
259Introduction to Dialysis Services in Saudi Arabia
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health burden in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), with about 3.5
million patients suffering from the condition in 2024. Annual deaths from CKD is expected to increase from about
5,400 in 2024 to more than 7,000 in 2029. With increasing renal failure cases in the country, the dialysis population
is expected to nearly double in 5 years (from 31,800 in 2024 to 61,200 in 2029), KSA’s Ministry of Health (MOH)
is expected to focus on investments and partnerships to enhance dialysis care access in the country.
Market Dynamics of Dialysis Services in KSA
KSA’s MOH is advancing dialysis care in the country with more focus on patients’ satisfaction and quality of life.
In recent years, KSA has been actively promoting public-private partnership (PPP) models in the healthcare sector
to modernize its healthcare system and enhance its efficiency and accessibility. Under the guidance of Vision
2030 and the Health Sector Transformation Program (HSTP), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has implemented a
series of PPP projects in healthcare, with dialysis services being a significant focus.
In KSA, since 2014, the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model is used for dialysis services to increase access
and improve quality of care, especially in areas with high demand. Diaverum, a Sweden-based company
specializing in dialysis services and DaVita, a US-based dialysis service provider, have partnered with Ministry
of Health (MoH) to provide dialysis and associated services in multiple cities across the Kingdom. This PPP
model involves the private sector taking responsibility for building, operating, and maintaining dialysis clinics,
while the government provides a framework and reimbursement based on performance. The PPP agreements
include not only dialysis but also associated services like vascular access surgery, medication management, and
laboratory services.
In 2023, NephroPlus entered into a joint venture with KSA’s Tibbiyah group to provide dialysis services in the
Kingdom by investing, operating, managing and maintaining departments or divisions of hospitals, medical clinics
and clinics in the public and private sectors. NephroPlus holds a 51% stake in the joint venture.

260Revenue Forecast of dialysis services in Saudi Arabia
The dialysis service market in KSA was valued at USD 1434.8 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD
3214.4 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 17.5%. KSA has been making significant strides in improving its healthcare
infrastructure, including dialysis services, to meet the needs of its population. The government provides significant
financial support for dialysis treatment, making it accessible to a large portion of the population. The government
reimbursement prices are high in KSA compared to other Asian countries, where the government reimburses about
USD 300 per dialysis treatment. As strengthening the role of the private sector in the health care industry is a key
goal outlined in KSA’s Health Sector Transformation Program, outlined in Vision 2030, the country is expected
to witness greater participation of organised private networks in the delivery of dialysis services in partnership
with KSA’s MOH, propelling the growth of the market.
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS OF DIALYSIS SERVICE MARKET
Dialysis services sector in India lacks penetration, with a high concentration of facilities in urban areas. The
dialysis services market remains unorganized and highly fragmented, with a shortage of organized, quality dialysis
service providers to meet the increasing demand. However, growing CKD prevalence, push from the government
and increasing share of organized dialysis service providers have catalyzed the growth of this sector. Earlier,
hospitals were the major centers for providing dialysis services, but after calibrating varied economical and
operational aspects, hospitals are now outsourcing dialysis services to organized dialysis service providers such
as NephroPlus, DCDC, Apollo Dialysis, etc.
The dialysis services in India are largely hospital-driven with major role being played by the private dialysis
service providers. In order to increase the participation of public hospitals, the government has been focusing on
strengthening the hospital infrastructure and employing PPP-based models to leverage the efficiency of organized
dialysis service providers. Globally, hospitals have partnered with pure dialysis service providers as they neither
have the scale nor the focus to make dialysis service profitable for them. With the rise of organized dialysis service
providers, India has been witnessing a shift from in-house hospital dialysis to outsourced dialysis services. Private
hospitals are tying up with organized dialysis service providers like NephroPlus to run dialysis clinics on their
premises. About 90% of dialysis clinics are located in urban India, and in order to cater to a larger patient base,
organized dialysis service providers are also expanding through standalone clinics, aiming to improve accessibility
in underserved non-urban areas. Although this model is at a nascent stage, it is expected to gain momentum over
the coming years. The patients served by organized dialysis service networks is estimated to grow at a higher rate
compared to unorganized market between 2024 and 2029 (14.4% vs. 12.4%), and the revenue of organized dialysis
service networks is estimated to grow at a higher rate compared to unorganized market between 2024 and 2029.
(22.0% vs. 19.0%). Unorganized market includes single clinic dialysis service providers and hospital-based
dialysis clinics.

Overview
Dialysis Services | India’s and Asia’s Largest Dialysis Services Provider
We offer comprehensive dialysis care through our network of clinics – from diagnosis to treatment and wellness
programs including haemodialysis, home and mobile dialysis, supported by pharmacy. We are India’s largest
dialysis service provider in terms of number of patients served, clinics, cities covered, treatments performed,
revenue, and EBITDA (excluding other income) in Fiscal 2025, and it is 4.4 times the size of the next largest
organized dialysis provider in India in terms of operating revenue in Fiscal 2024. (Source: F&S Report) In Fiscal
2025, we served 29,281 patients and completed 2,885,450 treatments in India which represented approximately
10% of the total dialysis patients in India. (Source: F&S Report) We are also the largest dialysis service provider
in Asia in 2025 and the fifth largest globally based on the number of treatments performed in Fiscal 2025. (Source:
F&S Report)
We are the only Indian dialysis services provider that has scaled internationally (Source: F&S Report) with a
global network of 490 clinics, with 43 clinics internationally across the Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal, as of
March 31, 2025. We are the most widely distributed dialysis network in India with an extensive pan-India network
of clinics across 269 cities (Source: F&S Report) and 21 States and four Union Territories and in particular 76.73%
of our clinics spread across tier II and tier III cities and towns, as of March 31, 2025.
Our Ethos | Focus on Accessibility, Quality and Value
Our endeavour is to enable people on dialysis worldwide to lead long, happy and productive lives. Dialysis is a
vital, life sustaining chronic treatment, with patients typically visiting a clinic two to three times per week.
Compared to most of the other acute medical conditions necessitating episodic or one-time treatment, dialysis is
a recurring, life-sustaining medical service for individuals with End Stage Renal Disorder (“ESRD”). (Source:
F&S Report) We strive to ensure that patient care is accessible, high-quality, and offers value. Recognizing that
dialysis patients can lead normal lives, we refer to them as ‘guests’ in our clinics as part of our operations to
emphasize dignity and care.
269Our operating philosophy focuses on three key principles: ‘Accessibility’, ‘Quality’ and ‘Value’:
Accessibility
We are present across 269 cities in India, as of March 31, 2025. While approximately 90% of all the Indian dialysis
facilities are in urban areas (i.e., metro cities and tier I and tier II cities) (Source: F&S Report), we have established
a footprint in tier II cities and tier III cities with 125 clinics and 218 clinics, respectively, comprising in aggregate
76.73% of our clinics in India, as of March 31, 2025.
The infographic below sets forth details of the split of our revenues from our clinics region-wise in India for Fiscal
2025:
Clinic revenue mix, as of March 31, 2025
Note:
1) This does not include revenue from other operating revenues and revenue generated from Nepal.
2) We are present in 21 States and four Union Territories.
3) North includes the states of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and the Union
Territories, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and Chandigarh.
4) South includes the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala and the Union Territory, Puducherry.
5) East includes the states of Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar.
6) West includes the states of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Goa.
We enhance patient accessibility by operating our network of clinics across various formats including in-hospital
captive clinics, standalone clinics, and government-backed public private partnerships (“PPPs”) – enabling us to
serve patients in private hospitals and government facilities. This flexible model has allowed us to scale rapidly
while maintaining proximity to care and establish a footprint across tier II and tier III cities. We have partnered
with leading hospital chains in India including Max Super Speciality Hospital, Fortis Escorts Hospitals (a unit of
Fortis Hospitals Limited), Care Hospitals, Wockhardt Hospitals Limited, Paras Healthcare Private Limited, The
Calcutta Medical Research Institute, Jehangir Hospital and Grand Medical Foundation (Ruby Hall) to operate
certain dialysis clinics. In addition, we have been able to expand our operations internationally through various
modes including arrangements with hospitals, acquisitions and public-private partnerships. We operate a global
network of 43 international clinics including 34 in the Philippines, 5 in Nepal and 4 in Uzbekistan, as of March
31, 2025 and operate the largest dialysis clinic globally in Uzbekistan. (Source: F&S Report) We also provide
holiday dialysis, dialysis on call, and dialysis on wheels services to our patients in India further ensuring easy
accessibility to dialysis services. We believe that this model-driven adaptability defines who we are – bringing
care closer to patients, wherever they are, and however they need it.
We operate a scalable, asset-light and capital efficient business model, which helps ensure quick clinic additions
and ramp-ups with low capital expenditure, as well as a high return on capital employed, economies of scale and
strong unit economics. India, despite having large number of healthcare professionals, shows lower per capita
figures due to its massive population. This crunch has led to the transformation of the healthcare delivery services
ecosystem by focusing on asset-light models with the need to have minimal infrastructure to increase access and
lower investments. Moreover, dialysis care entails capital and operational costs, including the procurement and
270maintenance of equipment, recurring consumable expenses, and human resource overheads. For many hospitals,
especially those without scale, running independent dialysis units may not be financially viable in the long term.
While scale plays a role in the dialysis services business, maintaining strategic focus is also important for
achieving consistent margins. By partnering with specialized dialysis chains, hospitals can reduce their
administrative and operational burden while ensuring cost-effective, scalable, and clinically robust care delivery
for patients. (Source: F&S Report) Set out below are details of the various models we have deployed as part of
our operations:
We are the fastest scaled dialysis service provider globally, achieving a revenue CAGR of 31.47% from Fiscal
2023 to 2025. (Source: F&S Report) The scale of our operations allows us to optimize capital and operating
expenditure per clinic allowing us to negotiate favourable rates for dialysis equipment and key consumables. Our
asset-light strategy in India enables us to scale efficiently while maintaining low capital intensity. As of March
31, 2025, 52.04% of our clinics operate under a revenue-sharing model, requiring limited upfront investment in
real estate. This model not only reduces fixed costs but also enhances operational flexibility.
As part of our operations in the Philippines, we have strategically focussed on growing inorganically to scale our
operations. Additionally, we drive higher volumes and achieve faster breakeven for our captive model in India
and brownfield acquisitions in the Philippines, typically within three to four months of commencing operations,
compared with a breakeven period of 12 months for our greenfield clinics. In our experience, this is attributable
to our existing patient base, operational infrastructure, and retained medical staff at these clinics. Our efforts
involve implementing our global procurement measures, efficient supply chain, a standardised clinic format, and
a cluster-based expansion model starting with clinics in densely populated areas of major cities, and subsequently
expanding within those cities and to nearby towns.
Quality
Our protocol-driven approach to dialysis coupled with the use of modern technology aims at providing a consistent
experience to our patients. The average frequency for our dialysis patients is two to three times a week, as on
March 31, 2025. According to the F&S Report, as per WHO norms, the frequency of dialysis treatment should be
three to four times per week, but in India, it stands at about two to three treatments per week. (Source: F&S
Report) Increasing dialysis time and/or frequency of dialysis treatments tend to provide better results. (Source:
F&S Report)
Through research and innovation, we have developed RenAssure, a comprehensive set of protocols that define
every aspect of dialysis treatment, implemented across our network of clinics. To guide on enhancing clinical
practices in dialysis care within our network, we have established an advisory team of clinical experts (“Advisory
Team of Clinical Experts”) comprising nephrologists in India and internationally, which reviews these protocols
to ensure that these are continuously improved and are in line with global best practices. The Advisory Team of
Clinical Experts combined with our operational protocols, has enabled us to consistently deliver strong clinical
outcomes across a high-volume, scaled network. Enpidia, our training academy, is India’s only institute accredited
by the U.S. based certification agency, the Board of Nephrology Examiners Nursing Technology (“BONENT”)
(Source: F&S Report), enables us to deploy trained and qualified personnel across our clinics. We also regularly
271conduct internal quality and operational audits of our standalone and captive clinics to ensure adherence to key
protocols and service excellence.
Technology is a key enabler for our dialysis services and supports our vision of providing quality dialysis across
our clinics. We have developed Renova Dialyzer Reprocessing System (“Renova”), a cloud-enabled and globally
patented dialyzer reprocessing system with several innovations including remote troubleshooting. For further
information, see “ – Business Operations – Digital and IT Infrastructure” on page 295.
Our clinics are accredited by leading bodies in India with, as of March 31, 2025, 122 of our dialysis clinics
accredited by the NABH and three of our dialysis clinics accredited by JCI. In addition, in Philippines, PhilHealth
accreditation in mandatory. We also comply with ISO standards ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems.
We have received several awards in recognition of our clinical excellence including the “Innovation in Health”
award at the 14th Edition of Aegis Graham Bell Awards in 2024 for Renova and the Guinness World Records for
the most people to sign-up for a kidney screening online in one week in 2025.
Value
Our value proposition focuses on delivering best clinical outcomes at various price points, driven by our global
procurement scale, standardized protocols and single-specialty focus. We have institutionalized cost-control
measures across our network, such as centralized procurement, online technician training, and digitized
monitoring systems to streamline operations. These measures not only enhance resource utilization but also reduce
the per-treatment cost of dialysis. We, through our NephroPlus Foundation, also offer free or low-cost dialysis to
select underprivileged patients.
Our dedicated focus on dialysis has allowed us to reduce inefficiencies in the usage of dialysis consumables such
as acid/bicarbonate and saline. Our emphasis on operational efficiency and patient outcomes ensures that our
services remain value-accretive. We follow a centralized procurement approach for consumables and
pharmaceutical products across all our clinics and ensure uniformity in procurement prices resulting in improved
margins. Wherever feasible, pursuant to evaluation by our biomedical team, we utilize existing quality equipment
at acquired clinics and procure new equipment directly from manufacturers to ensure cost efficiency. Additionally,
we have established strategic partnerships to further drive cost efficiency. For example, we have entered into
contract manufacturing arrangements for key dialysis consumables such as acid/bicarbonate and blood tubing sets.
For acid/bicarbonate, we directly procure raw materials and supply them to contract manufacturers to produce the
final product. Similarly, for blood tubing, we have invested in proprietary moulds, sourced the tubing
independently, and engaged contract manufacturers to assemble the final units. For further information, see “- Key
Consumables and Sourcing Model” on page 301.
Our Market Opportunity | Sizeable, Under-penetrated and Fast Growing (Source: F&S Report)
As per the F&S Report, the total global disease burden from non-communicable diseases (“NCDs”), measured in
Disability-Adjusted Life Years (“DALYs”, defined as a measure used to determine total burden of disease, both
from years of life lost and years lived with a disability. One DALY equals one lost year of healthy life) per year,
has increased from 1,150 in 1990 to 1,700 in 2021. The burden of diabetes and kidney disease has more than
tripled in that period. Currently, kidney disease is the third fastest-growing cause of death globally and the only
NCD to exhibit a continued rise in age-adjusted mortality. Globally, diabetes and hypertension have been
recognized as the two leading drivers of chronic kidney disease (“CKD”), contributing 50.6% and 23.3% to CKD
worldwide. This surge is driven by a complex interplay of factors related to lifestyle changes, urbanization, and
an aging population. More than 3,25,000 new patients get added to ESRD list every year, resulting in additional
demand for more than 4.2 million dialysis treatments every year. (Source: F&S Report) These trends underscore
the need for effective dialysis care solutions to address the rising CKD epidemic.
Globally, revenue from dialysis services was estimated to be around USD 75.2 billion in 2024 and it is estimated
to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2029 to reach around USD 106.2 billion by
2029 driven by factors such as increasing prevalence of CKD, improved diagnosis of ESRD and increasing access
to dialysis service. With our focus markets of India, the Philippines and Uzbekistan together have a combined
dialysis market size of about USD 1.9 billion, with more than 49 million in aggregate dialysis treatments per year
in 2025, and expected to witness higher revenue growth of 19.3% in India, 22.6% in the Philippines and 16.7% in
Uzbekistan between 2024 and 2029. In particular, the dialysis service market in the Philippines was valued at
USD 492.2 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 1,361.4 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 22.6%. The
average price point per treatment in the Philippines was about USD 71.0 in 2024, compared to about USD 22.0
272for the Indian market. Whereas the dialysis service market in Uzbekistan was valued at USD 78.9 million in 2024,
and it is expected to reach USD 170.5 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 16.7%. Under the PPP model, the government
provides reimbursement for dialysis services, and the average cost for a dialysis treatment, taking into
consideration the market rate and government PPP rate, is about USD 72.5 in Uzbekistan. Our presence in
Uzbekistan has led to a positive cost benefit, with dialysis treatments at our clinics in Uzbekistan costing the
government a lower amount of USD 48 through our PPP arrangement executed with Ministry of Health in 2022,
compared to USD 60 before the partnership. Additionally, the dialysis service market in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(“KSA”) was valued at USD 1,434.8 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 3,214.4 million in 2029 at
a CAGR of 17.5%. The government reimbursement prices are high in KSA compared to other Asian countries,
where the government reimburses about USD 300 per dialysis treatment. (Source: F&S Report)
In Fiscal 2024, the Indian dialysis service market was valued at USD 818.0 million, and it is expected to reach
about USD 1,979.0 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 19.3%. Organized market accounts for approximately 20% of
the market, while standalone private and government clinics account for the remaining 80%. The in-clinic
haemodialysis dialysis market is valued at about USD 787.3 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR
of 19.4% over the next five years to reach USD 1,910.3 million by Fiscal 2029. While increasing CKD prevalence
will be a critical factor driving growth, an even more important factor would be increasing awareness and
affordability given only 1 in 15 ESRD patients go for dialysis care due to constraints such as accessibility and
affordability. (Source: F&S Report)
Between 2012 and 2020, we significantly scaled our footprint in India, growing from just five clinics in 2012 to
217 clinics in 2020, through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition
of DaVita Care (India) Private Limited (“DaVita India”). Having built a scalable model domestically, we aim to
further expand our international operations. Since 2020, we have ventured into several high-potential markets
such as the Philippines, Uzbekistan, and KSA. As of March 31, 2025, we have established a consolidated presence
of 43 clinics across these geographies, implementing the same approach and model that proved effective for our
Indian operations. This approach underscores our ability to execute at scale, adapt to diverse markets, and achieve
sustained growth.
Patient-Centric Leadership Driven by a Co-Founder on Dialysis
We began our journey in 2010 with the launch of our first dialysis clinic in Hyderabad, driven by a clear mission:
to redefine dialysis care and enable people on dialysis to lead normal lives.
Kamal D. Shah, our co-founder, who has been on dialysis for over 28 years, was diagnosed with kidney failure at
the age of 21 in 1997. After a failed transplant in 1998, he continued dialysis and switched to home haemodialysis
in 2006. His personal journey, including serious complications following the 2004 tsunami, led him to document
his experiences through a blog. Our Individual Promoter, Vikram Vuppala, discovered this blog and reached out
to Kamal to discuss the state of dialysis in India and explore ways to improve it. Recognizing the serious shortfalls
in the Indian dialysis industry including limited availability of options for dialysis, lack of quality care, and
shorter-than-necessary treatments resulting in higher mortality rates, our Company was founded with the aim to
address these critical issues.
We actively engage with our patients through events like Aashayein, an annual event where dialysis patients get
an opportunity to engage with nephrologists, urologists, dieticians, transplant surgeons, amongst others, and
discuss health issues. We also organise the Dialysis Olympiad, an Olympic style event for dialysis patients where
they participate in sports such as cricket, badminton, basketball, table tennis and cycling. As of March 31, 2025,
we have conducted six Dialysis Olympiad across India and Philippines.

We have successfully leveraged strategic acquisitions to enter new geographies. We entered the Philippines
market in October 2020, pursuant to our acquisition of majority stake in Royal Care Dialysis Centre Inc.
(“RCDC”) and Asialife Healthcare Corp (“Asialife”). Through these acquisitions, we gained access to RCDC’s
and Asialife’s network of six clinics across the Philippines. Over the next two years, we subsequently acquired
100% ownership of RCDC and expanded our footprint to 10 clinics. As of March 31, 2025, we operated 34 clinics
in the Philippines. We are the third largest dialysis service provider in the Philippines in terms of number of clinics
in 2024. (Source: F&S Report) For further information see, “History and Other Corporate Matters –
Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of our Company” on page 323.
We won a USD 75+ million PPP tender, issued by the Ministry of Health, Republic of Uzbekistan, on certain
technical and financial criteria financial criteria, to establish four clinics including a 165-bedded dialysis clinic in
Tashkent, which is the largest dialysis clinic globally. (Source: F&S Report) The project is for an initial term of
10 years to deliver dialysis care for a minimum 1,100 patients each year and the clinics are being designed to cater
to requirements of additional patients. Further, in Fiscal 2024, we expanded into the KSA market by forming a
joint venture with Arabian International Healthcare Holding Company, a Al Faisaliah Group company.
Scale coupled with asset-light model driving cost efficiencies and operational excellence
Given the nature of dialysis, which requires patients to frequently visit a dialysis clinic for treatment, it is
imperative to ensure easy access to treatment. (Source: F&S Report) We have scaled our operations from one
clinic in India in 2010 to 490 clinics, across India, Nepal, the Philippines and Uzbekistan as of March 31, 2025
and have a well-diversified network with presence in 302 cities. Our expansion strategy includes greenfield and
brownfield operations, along with PPP collaborations, allowing us to scale efficiently and cater to diverse patient
needs. As of March 31, 2025, we had 69, 245, and 176 clinics operating through greenfield, brownfield, and PPP
collaborations, respectively.
We operate an asset-light business model, ensuring that the establishment and operation of the clinics incur lower
costs compared to other healthcare services, such as tertiary care or other single-specialty services such as eye
care and in-vitro fertilization. (Source: F&S Report) By adopting an asset-light approach, we operate efficiently,
focusing on delivering high-quality care without excessive capital expenditure. As of March 31, 2025, 52.04% of
our 490 clinics are on a revenue-sharing model with limited investment in space, demonstrating our commitment
to lean operations.
We are India’s largest dialysis services provider in terms of number of clinics, cities covered, treatments
performed, revenue, and EBITDA (excluding other income) in Fiscal 2025. (Source: F&S Report) Our asset-light
approach allows us to maintain lean and efficient operations, focusing on delivering quality care without excessive
capital expenditure. For further information, see “Industry Overview – Leading Organized Dialysis Service
Providers” on page 251. Our initiatives towards reducing capital expenditure, including standardized clinic
formats, an in-house projects team, and efficient supply chain, have collectively contributed to our low
establishment costs. In Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, our capital expenditure per clinic was ₹ 14.09 million, ₹
16.61 million, and ₹ 11.03 million, respectively. Our revenue from operations was ₹ 7,558.12 million, ₹ 5,661.55
million and ₹ 4,372.95 million, highest amongst major organized dialysis service chains in India (Source: F&S
Report).
Our approach ensures cost efficiencies due to the operating leverage achieved in procurement and inventory
277management. By purchasing a large number of dialysis machines and consumables each year, we negotiate
favourable terms and prices from certain global suppliers, ensuring competitive setup and operating costs. Our
centralized procurement process further contributes to lower costs, leveraging bulk purchasing power to secure
reduced prices.
To expand our network, we have implemented a cluster-based approach. We establish clinics in a densely
populated area of a major city and then expand further within the city and adjacent towns, replicating our growth
as we strengthen our cluster. Our expansion is driven by understanding catchment demographics, market
dynamics, and supporting clinic expansion with back-end infrastructure. We select clinics based on our analysis
of demand supply gap, availability of nephrologists support, current dialysis volume, government schemes, due
diligence and market understanding. We have a dedicated business development team of 22 members that actively
sources acquisition opportunities and secures strategic partnerships. Our cluster-based approach has successfully
operated clinics in non-metro and tier II and tier III locations, improving accessibility in smaller towns and rural
areas. As of March 31, 2025, we had 125 clinics and 218 clinics in tier II and tier III cities, respectively in India.
In Fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, we generated revenues of ₹ 3,628.92 million, ₹ 2,786.60 million, and ₹ 2,562.87
million, with 71.55%, 69.64%, and 74.22% of our total revenue (excluding revenue from other operating revenues
and revenue generated from Nepal) from tier II and tier III cities, respectively. We have continuously established
and grown clusters, ensuring our leadership position. In Fiscal 2025, we served 29,281 patients and completed
2,885,450 treatments in India which represented approximately 10% of the total dialysis patients in India (Source:
F&S Report).
The below infographic represents our geographical network spread, as of March 31, 2025:
Note:
(1) We are present in 21 states and four Union Territories.
(2) North includes the states of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh,
Uttarakhand and the Union Territories, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and Chandigarh.
(3) South includes the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala and the
Union Territory, Puducherry.
(4) East includes the states of Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar.
(5) West includes the states of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Goa.
Our dedicated focus on dialysis has allowed us to reduce inefficiencies in the use of consumables, such as blood
tubings, acid/bicarbonate, and saline. We have also taken initiatives for vertical integration for key consumables
and entered into contract manufacturing agreements, allowing stricter control over product quality and cost
structures. Our initiatives have resulted in a reduction of consumables forming part of our cost of materials
consumed from 32.59% of our revenue from operations in Fiscal 2023 to 29.78% in Fiscal 2024 and further to
25.69% in Fiscal 2025. We have explored a broader range of products from a wider base of suppliers, reducing
dependence on specific vendors. In our experience, our focus on cost efficiencies has driven better overall margins,
reinforcing our value proposition for patients and ensuring sustainable growth.
278Driving clinical excellence and quality through protocols and advanced technology
We have been able to drive such clinical outcomes through our consistent focus on quality. Our protocol-led
approach plays a crucial role in improving the average life expectancy. For instance, our RenAssure protocols
cover every aspect of the dialysis treatment. These protocols are reviewed to ensure new research findings are
incorporated and are then implemented across all our clinics. As we expand our operations outside India, our
clinical team interacts with local personnel in countries where we intend to expand to understand the protocol
differences that are prevalent. We then adopt the RenAssure protocols to suit the country’s dialysis system.
In addition to the management team, we benefit from the guidance of our Advisory Team of Clinical Experts, led
by Professor Vivekanand Jha and comprises Dr. Suresh Sankar, our senior vice president of clinical affairs, Dr.
Umesh Khanna, our medical advisor, and Dr. Avinash Ignatius, our consultant nephrologist. Their collective
expertise in nephrology and dialysis care ensures that we maintain high clinical standards and continue to focus
on medical innovation. Our commitment to quality is further demonstrated by our regular internal training sessions
for clinical staff, ensuring they stay updated with the latest developments and continuous learning. We have
structured programs to ensure our clinical staff implement our protocols and ‘patient-centric’ measures.
Additionally, a few of our clinics, as of March 31, 2025, are situated within hospitals that are accredited by the
National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (“NABH”) and Joint Commission
International (“JCI”). These accreditations require our clinics to adhere to high standards, reinforcing our
dedication to delivering quality clinical outcomes.
We also have our own registered ethics committee, which allows us to undertake clinical research projects
independently. As of March 31, 2025, we are involved in five clinical trials. Our research findings have been
presented in several international nephrology conferences such as the World Congress of Nephrology, American
Society of Nephrology, and European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association, as well
as at Indian conferences conducted by the Indian Society of Nephrology and the Indian Society of Haemodialysis.
Our Enpidia training academy is a program aimed at addressing the shortage of skilled dialysis technicians in
India. (Source: F&S Report) It offers us a captive solution for deploying trained and qualified personnel across
our network of clinics. We offer a 24-month diploma program that includes several months of theoretical training,
followed by practical, in-clinic training. Currently, we operate eight academies across India and intend to further
grow over time. Enpidia is India’s only institute accredited by the BONENT, (Source: F&S Report) As of March
31, 2025, 368 Enpidia technicians are currently employed by us.
Technology is a key enabler for our dialysis services and supports our vision of providing quality dialysis across
our clinics. Our technology initiatives have assisted us in our objective to improve patient quality of life, enhance
service delivery and improve engagement with our patients. Our initiatives have also enabled better monitoring
of patient treatment which provide key insights to improve our offerings. For instance, as part of our product
development capabilities, we have designed and deployed Renova, a globally patented cloud-enabled dialyzer
reprocessing system that includes innovations like remote troubleshooting. This system allows us to reuse the
dialyzer for the same patient by reprocessing and cleaning it after use without impacting quality of treatment. In
addition, we have recently launched easy-to-use and advanced mobile applications for our patients and
nephrologists. One such mobile application enables our patients to manage their dialysis treatments and medical
records, while our nephrologists are able to monitor patients as well as pay-outs for consultations, and our clinical
team monitors patients during dialysis treatment. We have developed a host of custom web-based and mobile
applications to manage our clinic operations efficiently, including ‘Guest application’, ‘Nephrologist application’
and ‘In-clinic applications’. For further information, see “ – Business Operations – Patient Engagement and
Clinical Apps” on page 296. We also use technology solutions to track operational parameters such as the quality
of treated water used for dialysis, quality of life measures like EQ-5D, and other clinical parameters critical for
quality dialysis delivery.
We have also partnered with an AI company to develop ‘Pooja’, a customer service chatbot that tracks diet-related
queries, offering personalized advice and support to patients, thereby enhancing their overall health and well-
being.
Organic growth augmented by proven track record of acquisitions and integration in India and internationally
We have scaled our operations in India from one clinic in 2010 to 490 clinics, across India, Nepal, the Philippines
and Uzbekistan as of March 31, 2025, and have a well-diversified network with presence in 269 cities in India.
Our expansion strategy includes greenfield and brownfield operations, along with PPP collaborations, allowing
us to scale efficiently and cater to diverse patient needs. As of March 31, 2025, we had 69, 245, and 176 clinics
279operating through greenfield, brownfield, and PPP collaborations, respectively.
Our approach to acquisitions is process-driven and structured. We undertake a comprehensive evaluation of
potential targets based on parameters such as patient volumes, quality of infrastructure, clinical outcomes,
regulatory compliance, and operational synergies. Identified opportunities undergo financial, operational, and
legal due diligence, and are reviewed by an internal investment committee prior to approval. Post-acquisition,
integration is managed by a dedicated team to ensure alignment with our standard operating protocols, centralized
procurement systems, and reporting frameworks, thereby enabling operational efficiency and scalability. We
follow a structured integration process to ensure seamless onboarding and standardization across newly acquired
or transitioned clinics including deploying transition technicians responsible for implementing our proprietary
RenAssure protocols, covering clinical operations, infection control, documentation practices, and patient
experience standards. Further, to ensure smooth integration and guest satisfaction, we ensure that we generally
employ local staff in the jurisdictions we operate.
We have strategically coupled our organic growth with key acquisitions to scale our operations both in India and
internationally. The acquisition of DaVita India in 2018 significantly bolstered our position as the leading dialysis
services provider in the country. This acquisition added 18 clinics across 11 States, enhancing access to quality
dialysis care for over 1,700 additional patients. Integrating DaVita India’s operations allowed us to implement our
advanced protocols and technologies, resulting in improved operational efficiency and elevated standards of
patient care. This strategic move not only expanded our footprint in India but also reinforced our commitment to
delivering high-quality, accessible dialysis services across India.
We strategically expanded into the Philippines market through a series of key acquisitions, starting with the
acquisition of a majority stake in RCDC and Asialife in 2020. This move marked our first major overseas
acquisition, adding six dialysis clinics and over 292 patients to our network. Building on this foundation, we
acquired two additional clinics, and by 2022, we acquired the remaining 49% stake in the company and added
four more clinics, growing into a 10-clinic network. In 2023, we acquired 10 additional clinics, surpassing 100,000
annual treatments and reaching a 21 clinics network. In 2024, we acquired Renal Therapy Solutions Inc., a dialysis
network with six clinics and a chain of seven clinics in 2025 (AIZ Hemodialysis Center Inc., Bioregen Hemo
Center Inc., Carmona Dialysis System Inc., Infini Care Health Systems Inc., and Kolff Dialysis Inc.) (collectively,
the “Hemo Group”) further strengthening our presence in the region. We continued our expansion in the
Philippines through clinic by clinic rollup strategy. As of March 31, 2025 we had acquired 17 companies,
significantly expanding our operational footprint and patient base in the country. As of that date, we operated 34
clinics in the Philippines through 17 subsidiaries, serving 1,969 patients. For further information, see “History
and Other Corporate Matters – Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of our Company” on page 323.
In Fiscal 2024, we entered the KSA market through a joint venture with Arabian International Healthcare Holding

Driving sustainable dialysis leadership with environmental, social and governance measures
We recognize that sustainability is integral to our mission of delivering high-quality, reliable, and innovative
healthcare solutions. Our focus towards patient care extends to a comprehensive approach to ESG initiatives.
Environmental Stewardship: We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact with a focus on
minimizing carbon emissions by installation of solar panels in our normal saline plant at Uzbekistan.
As part of our commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency, we launched an ESG initiative aimed at
reducing plastic waste generated from bin covers across our dialysis clinics. This initiative reflects our focus on
minimising environmental impact while maintaining clinical safety and compliance. Key highlights of the
initiative include:
• Transitioning from a decentralised bin model to a centralised large bin system, allowing for better
segregation, reduced duplication, and fewer bin covers used per treatment;
• Development and implementation of a new clinical protocol utilising trays to safely transport waste to central
bins, improving hygiene and waste handling practices; and
• Elimination of small red bedside bins and a 50% reduction in the number of yellow and green bins used
across clinics.
As of March 31, 2025, the initiative has been implemented in over 250 clinics. The programme has resulted in a
25% to 30% reduction in plastic bin cover consumption and has led to the elimination of over 10 tonnes of plastic
waste per year, contributing to our environmental sustainability goals.
Our contract manufacturing arrangements in India for low-complexity consumables have significantly cut down
carbon emissions from long-distance imports. In 2024, in Uzbekistan, we established a normal saline plant using
glass bottles instead of plastic bags, further reducing plastic waste. Additionally, our localized workforce strategy
reduces carbon emissions from employee travel, supporting both environmental sustainability and operational
efficiency.
Social Impact: Our social initiatives are designed to enhance patient well-being and contribute to community
development. We offer clinical services in PPPs for below-poverty-line patients, ensuring access to essential care.
The Dialysis Olympiad motivates patients to lead active lives, fostering a sense of community and resilience. In
281addition, we have been able to generate jobs in tier II and tier III cities and provide the necessary training to our
technicians. In Fiscal 2025, we generated 1,642 jobs in tier II and tier III cities and trained 132 dialysis technicians,
including 39 women. We promote participation among women, with 43.51% of our workforce being female, as
of March 31, 2025. We also focus on kidney disease prevention and digital literacy training for caregivers.
Governance Excellence: We have established a strong governance framework built on transparency,
accountability, and regulatory compliance. We have a history of Non-Executive Nominee Director being on our
Board for over 11 years. We maintain internal controls, supported by an enterprise-wide risk management
framework that proactively identifies and mitigates business, clinical, and compliance risks.
Clinical governance is reinforced through our Advisory Team of Clinical Experts and a registered ethics
committee, which ensure adherence to global medical standards.
We also follow strict data privacy protocols and have implemented a formal code of conduct and whistleblower
policy to uphold ethical standards. Our governance practices are designed to protect patient interests, support
regulatory alignment, and drive long-term value for all stakeholders.

STRATEGIES
The strategies described below have been approved by way of a board resolution passed by our Board of Directors
at their meeting held on July 21, 2025.
Continue to consolidate our leadership position in India
We intend to continue expanding our presence in India by establishing new dialysis clinics, thereby deepening
patient access and strengthening our geographic footprint. Our expansion is underpinned by a proven track record
and a capital-efficient asset light model.
We identify new micro-markets or clusters based on factors such as patient density, market growth potential,
existing dialysis infrastructure, competitive landscape, and operational scalability. Our cluster-specific teams
actively monitor local dynamics, including CKD incidence rates, nephrologist availability, government health
schemes, infrastructure readiness, and unmet patient needs. These insights guide site selection and network
optimization. A broader geographic footprint allows us to reach new patient cohorts while improving utilization
across our clinics. Our model enables centralized resource management, operational efficiency, and shared
logistics, thereby enhancing overall profitability. In select high-volume clinics, we also plan to upgrade our clinics,
through additional dialysis bays, isolation areas, and optimised patient flow zones to accommodate growing
demand and enhance the patient experience through better infrastructure and capacity.
282According to the F&S Report, the patients served by organized dialysis service networks is estimated to grow at
a higher rate compared to unorganized market between 2024 and 2029 (14.4% vs. 12.4%), and the revenue of
organized dialysis service networks is estimated to grow at a higher rate compared to unorganized market between
2024 and 2029. (22.0% vs. 19.0%). More than 325,000 new patients get added to ESRD list every year, resulting
in additional demand for more than 4.2 million dialysis treatments every year. As per F&S estimates, the total
number of dialysis patients are expected to increase from 0.28 million in 2024 to 0.52 million by 2029, at a CAGR
of around 12.7%. (Source: F&S Report) We believe that our business is ideally positioned to grow from the
combined tailwinds of the shift from unorganized to organized dialysis market and the increasing prevalence of
kidney disease fuelled by increasing burden of diabetes and hypertension. Further, from 2017 to 2022, the global
Current Health Expenditure (“CHE”) per Capita increased at a CAGR of 4.0% and the CHE as a percentage of
GDP increased from 6.5% to 7.0% in 2022. Over the last decade, India’s total healthcare spending as % of its
GDP (including government and private) has increased but remains lower than its peers at 3.3% in 2022 from
2.9% in 2017. With Ayushman Bharat, the world’s largest health insurance, providing access to 12 crore families
with ₹ 5 lakh health cover per family to avail healthcare services in secondary and tertiary care hospitals (in both
public and private sectors), there will be a rise in spending on dialysis care. In September 2024, the union
government expanded the coverage to all senior citizens aged 70, regardless of their income. (Source: F&S Report)
This presents a significant growth opportunity for us.
While we already have a pan-India network, we intend to increase our penetration further with establishing
additional clinics in the North, East, and West regions of India. In addition, we intend to evaluate and enter into
additional arrangements with new hospitals. Such additional arrangements will help grow our network further.
We intend to also continue to focus on PPP opportunities to grow our operations. We also seek to add greater
value to public hospitals by improving the quality of our services, offer competitive rates and utilize advanced
technology, in order to become a preferred partner for increasing accessibility of dialysis services across India.
Over the years, we have implemented the PPP including in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand and Karnataka
where we collaborate with State health agencies. Our track record of executing PPP projects across India to
provide dialysis services ensures that we stand to benefit from increased government healthcare spending. In
Fiscal 2024, we executed a PPP project in Karnataka by establishing over 90 clinics in just 90 days. Among the
factors that we consider for our PPP opportunities include the number of clinics to be established, potential patient
volumes, average revenue per treatment, payment track record, financial health and payment terms with the
relevant health agency.
We aim to focus on clinic-level partnerships through service agreements with hospitals that seek to outsource their
dialysis services. Globally, hospitals have partnered with pure dialysis service providers as they neither have the
scale nor the focus to make dialysis service profitable for them. (Source: F&S Report) This outsourcing model,
which is asset-light and capital-efficient, enables us to expand our presence while maintaining operational control
and integration with our standardized protocols.In addition, we will also evaluate inorganic growth opportunities
in India that will allow us to expand our network of clinics.
Scale operations in existing international markets including through inorganic growth opportunities
We intend to continue to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions and investments in the Philippines and
Uzbekistan and other key markets that we expect these to be complementary to our growth strategies, particularly
those that can help us improve our offerings, further strengthen our network, expand our geographic coverage and
grow our patient base. We intend to leverage our extensive industry experience and expertise to identify suitable
targets and effectively evaluate and execute potential opportunities.
The dialysis service market in the Philippines was valued at approximately USD 492.2 million in 2024 and is
expected to reach USD 1,361.4 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 22.6% The average price point per treatment in the
Philippines was about USD 71.0 in 2024, compared to USD 22.0 for the Indian market. (Source: F&S Report)
We entered the Philippines market in Fiscal 2020 and have grown from 3,614 treatments per month in Fiscal 2021
to 22,073 treatments per month in Fiscal 2025.
The dialysis service market in Uzbekistan was valued at USD 78.9 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach
USD 170.5 million in 2029 at a CAGR of 16.7%. (Source: F&S Report) We entered the Uzbekistan market in
Fiscal 2023 and have grown from 3,672 treatments per month in Fiscal 2023 to 13,861 treatments per month in
Fiscal 2025.
283We have successfully executed several strategic acquisitions, including, DaVita India, a majority stake in RCDC,
acquisition of Renal Therapy Solutions, Inc. and the Hemo Group, along with 13 other individual acquisitions in
the Philippines. These transactions have enabled to leverage operational synergies and expand our network of
dialysis clinics across key geographies. Our acquisitions have helped us in accessing new geographies and cater
to more patients, and we intend to continue to seek acquisition opportunities. Towards this, we have established a
dedicated business development team to identify acquisition targets with strong clinical outcomes and established
market presence in the Philippines. The team will conduct thorough market analysis to pinpoint potential clinics
in key regions, focusing on those with high patient volumes and opportunities for operational improvement.
Following such acquisition, we intend to integrate these clinics into our network by implementing our best global
operating practices, providing staff training, deploying transition technicians and nurses, and upgrading
technology and infrastructure. In our experience, this strategic approach will enable us to enhance service delivery,
drive operational efficiency, and ultimately expand our footprint in the Philippines, Uzbekistan, KSA and other
new geographies.
Expand further in South East Asia, Commonwealth of Independent States and Middle East markets
Several countries across the globe present operational and structural market challenges that can benefit from our
operational optimization, quality protocols, and focus on patient experience. Revenue from dialysis services was
estimated to be around USD 75.2 billion in 2024 and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast
period (2024 to 2029) to reach around USD 106.2 billion by 2029 driven by factors such as increasing prevalence
of CKD, improved diagnosis of ESRD and increasing access to dialysis service. We intend to continue to expand
into these new geographies such as South East Asia and Middle East in a phased manner based on several criteria
including but not limited to PPP potential, ease of doing business and availability of reputed local partners.
We have strategically expanded our operations beyond India in the international markets of Nepal, Philippines
and Uzbekistan. To deepen our presence in the Middle East, we have entered into a joint venture with the Arabian
International Healthcare Holding Company, a Al Faisaliah Group company. Our international growth is anchored
in our vision of "Made in India for the World," which reflects our aspiration to position India as a hub for high-
quality, cost-effective dialysis care, exported globally through both organic and inorganic strategies. In parallel,
our strategic intent is to strengthen our presence in select Southeast Asian and Commonwealth of Independent
States (“CIS”) countries, thereby enhancing our position in the global dialysis care market. South East Asia, CIS
and Middle East markets, including countries such as Malaysia and Kazakhstan present a large market and growth
potential, and attractive market dynamics including but not limited to increasing incidence of chronic kidney
disease, under-penetration of organized dialysis services, rising healthcare expenditure and higher price realization
per treatment thereby resulting in potentially higher profit margins for organized players. (Source: F&S report)
As part of our overseas expansion, we intend to leverage our experience of entering new markets to grow further.
The dialysis services industry is a highly fragmented market with very few organized players operating to serve a
huge unmet need. While players such as Fresenius Medical, DaVita, US Renal Care and Diaverum have
accelerated the transition of dialysis services to a standalone organized market in North America and Europe
regions, we are leading the acceleration in Asian market. (Source: F&S Report) We follow a carefully evaluated
approach to global expansion, guided by factors such as dialysis treatment volumes, presence of government
reimbursement schemes, political and economic stability, proximity to India, and repatriation feasibility. Our
experience in executing diverse operating models in India including standalone dialysis clinics, greenfield clinic
development, hospital-based service agreements, and public-private partnerships, positions us well to adapt and
replicate these models in international markets based on local requirements. Leveraging our leadership position
in India, along with established supply chain relationships and centralized procurement efficiencies, we aim to
offer competitively priced, high-quality dialysis services in new geographies. Our cost advantage and operational
expertise provide us with a strategic edge as we assess expansion into markets with favourable healthcare
dynamics and unmet demand for organized dialysis care. We will continue to evaluate opportunities in
international regions that present scalable, margin accretive growth potential and where our capabilities can be
effectively deployed to deliver consistent clinical outcomes.
Continue to focus on operating efficiency and leveraging our network scale to drive supply chain benefits and
profitability
We intend to continue to improve our supply chain management and invest in technology to increase our operating
efficiency. As we consolidate our position in the Indian dialysis market, we expect our purchasing power and
preferred relationships with manufacturers to deepen further, providing us with competitive pricing. In addition,
the same nephrologists and clinical teams can manage such additional clinics thereby ensuring efficiency in our
284operations.
Further, as a key initiative, we have commenced contract manufacturing of certain key consumables such
acid/bicarbonate solutions and blood tubing sets and intend to continue to invest in expanding such contract
manufacturing to include other dialysis related consumables. In our experience, contract manufacturing of
consumables has enabled us to procure raw materials directly and manufacture according to our specifications and
retain control over quality and supply chain timelines. This approach not only enhances cost efficiency by
reducing dependency on third-party brands and import-related costs but also ensures consistency in product
availability across our network.
We believe the above initiatives will help us continue to improve our profitability, as we have done in the past,
with our PAT Margin (%) improving from (2.70)% in Fiscal 2023 to 6.21% in Fiscal 2024 and to 8.88% in Fiscal
2025 and EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin (%) improving from 11.11% in Fiscal 2023 to 17.60% in
Fiscal 2024 and to 22.05% in Fiscal 2025.
Continue to focus on innovation-led digital healthcare to enhance convenience, efficiency and reach
Innovation is central to our strategy, enabling us to enhance patient convenience, drive operational efficiency, and
expand our geographic and digital footprint. We intend to continue to invest in technology-led solutions that
transform how dialysis care is delivered and experienced. We have made strategic investments in technology to
support home dialysis, remote monitoring, and predictive care ensuring convenience, continuity, and safety for
patients beyond traditional clinics. Our cloud-enabled and patented Renova reduces human error, enhances
treatment traceability, and enables remote troubleshooting.
We have also developed proprietary data platforms and clinical dashboards that leverage AI and predictive
analytics to identify high-risk patients, enabling timely interventions and improved clinical outcomes. To further
expand reach and engagement, we have launched user-friendly mobile apps for patients, nephrologists, and
clinical staff, enabling appointment scheduling, medical record access, remote consultations, and real-time
monitoring. These digital tools contribute to safer treatments, better resource utilization, and greater transparency
across our network.
As we scale, technology and innovation will continue to be key enablers, helping us deliver personalized, efficient,
and high-quality dialysis care at scale, both in India and internationally.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Dialysis Services
Dialysis is a procedure for removing waste products and excess fluids from a person’s bloodstream when the
kidneys become dysfunctional. The treatment helps in keeping the balance of electrolytes and fluid level in the
body. (Source: F&S Report) There are two primary dialysis modalities:
• Haemodialysis: A dialysis machine removes unfiltered blood from the body by passing it through a dialyzer
(artificial kidney) and returns clean blood to the body.
• Peritoneal dialysis: The patient’s abdomen lining acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a
cleansing fluid (called dialysate), which is washed in and out of the abdomen in cycles.
We provide dialysis services and related pharmacy, wellness and diagnostic services for both therapy methods
through our network of dialysis clinics, based on the following operating models:
In-Clinic Dialysis Services
As part of our in-clinic operations, we primarily operate our clinics under the following models:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Captive clinics 255 233 224
Standalone clinics 59 46 27
PPP clinics 176 157 65
Total 490 436 316
285As part of our in-clinic operations, we have added clinics under the following models as indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Captive clinics 38 24 26
PPP clinics 20 94 3
Standalone clinics 15 18 6
Total 73 136 35
Captive Model through Arrangements with Hospitals: We enter into long-term arrangements ranging from seven
years to 15 years with private hospitals to establish and operate dialysis clinics within a hospital on a revenue
share basis. As of March 31, 2025, we had entered into arrangements for operating 255 clinics. As part of our
operations, we re-design and optimize the layout, invest in deploying dialysis machines and other medical
equipment, employ clinical staff and other healthcare professionals and implement our standard operating
procedures. In Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we had entered into 38, 24 and 26 new arrangements with hospitals
and hospital chains, respectively, across Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka,
Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Delhi, Punjab,
Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Odisha and Assam.
PPP Clinics: State governments and public health agencies issue tenders for the establishment and operation of
dialysis clinics under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models. Upon qualifying through the competitive bidding
process, we enter into formal agreements with the respective state authorities to set up, equip and operate these
clinics. Under such arrangements, dialysis services are provided free of charge or at subsidized rates to eligible
patients, with reimbursement received from the concerned public health agency in accordance with the terms of
the tender. This model enhances accessibility for patients while ensuring a steady inflow of beneficiaries, leading
to improved asset utilization and greater revenue predictability. (Source: F&S Report) Our PPP agreements are
typically for a tenure of five years, with provisions for extension based on mutual agreement. The scope of
responsibilities under each PPP contract is clearly delineated, state governments are responsible for providing
space and utilities, while we are responsible for the provision of dialysis services, including equipment, trained
personnel, and overall operations. There is no revenue share or rental payment required under these PPP models.
Reimbursement rates are contractually defined and subject to annual escalation as per the respective agreements
with state governments. These PPP arrangements are typically entered for a fixed term ranging between five to
10 years, subject to renewal based on performance and mutual consent. These arrangements outline the scope of
services which include provision of dialysis treatments, staffing and consumables. The arrangements also include
termination clauses such as standard right of termination for breach, underperformance, or government policy
changes, with or without cause. The infrastructure responsibilities lie with the government, typically providing
space and utilities, whereas we are responsible for equipment and operations.
As of March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we operated 176, 157 and 65 clinics pursuant to our PPP contracts across
India and Uzbekistan. We operate the largest dialysis clinic globally, located in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (Source:
F&S Report), which was awarded to us through a PPP tender issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of
Uzbekistan.
We have established a dedicated in-house team to oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of PPP projects. This team is
responsible for monitoring upcoming tenders issued by public health agencies, conducting detailed feasibility
assessments, including demographic analysis, patient footfall estimates, infrastructure readiness, and commercial
viability and preparing and submitting comprehensive bid documentation. They also coordinate closely with
internal departments to ensure timely responses to queries and clarifications during the evaluation phase, and
support execution post-award.
Standalone Clinics. We also operate dialysis clinics that are independent of hospital premises. This model allows
us to expand access to dialysis services in underserved or high-demand areas by decoupling the dependency on
hospital infrastructure while maintaining standardized clinical protocols and quality of care. Under this model we
typically lease the premises and develop the clinic infrastructure ourselves. We operate standalone dialysis clinics
in India and Philippines. As of March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we operated 59, 46 and 27 standalone clinics,
respectively.
As part of our in-clinic services in India, we also offer other critical care services which include plasmapheresis,
continuous renal replacement therapy, hemodiafiltration, and sustained low-efficiency dialysis.
286Off-Clinic Dialysis Services
In line with our commitment to delivering patient-centric care, we offer off-clinic services according to the needs
of our patients, including, home haemodialysis (“HHD”), dialysis on call (“DoC”), and dialysis on wheels
(“DoW”). These services enhance convenience and improve accessibility, particularly for patients with mobility
constraints or residing in underserved areas.
HHD. We offer HHD services, where our patients can undergo dialysis in the comfort of their homes without
having to travel frequently to our clinics. The benefits of dialysis at home include the ease and convenience for
the patient and their attendants as they need not travel to dialysis clinics, and the increased frequency at which
dialysis can be performed due to the inherent convenience.
We started our HHD services in January 2020. As part of the HHD services, our team conducts a home inspection
where they ensure availability and quality of water, electricity supply and drainage facility. Essential equipment
such as the hemodialysis machine and reverse-osmosis based water treatment plant are transported and set up at
the patient’s home. A sample of the treated water is sent to the lab for analysis. Once the result is received and
found to be within acceptable limits, hemodialysis can be started at home for the patient. Monitoring and
maintenance of the equipment is also performed by our clinical staff and a biomedical engineer on a regular basis.
HHD follows a fee-for-service, with patients typically undergoing 10 to 11 treatments per month. Due to the high
level of personalisation, on-demand clinical oversight, and logistical support involved, HHD is priced higher than
the cost of in-clinic dialysis. Despite the higher pricing, the HHD model is particularly attractive for patients
seeking flexibility, reduced travel, and better integration of care into daily life. From a business perspective, it
offers a scalable, asset-light growth opportunity with strong unit economics, driven by high retention rates,
premium margins, and the ability to serve patients beyond the geographic limits of physical dialysis clinics.
DoC. DoC is an initiative that we launched in Hyderabad, Telangana, in March 2021, where we take the dialysis
setup to a patient’s home or even hospitals that do not have dialysis facilities but require dialysis for their patients,
conduct the procedure and then move the equipment out. Unlike HHD, where the dialysis setup stays permanently
in the patient’s home, in DoC no equipment is kept at the patient’s home after dialysis has been done. We launched
this approach as an additional modality towards making dialysis more accessible.
Patients, their attendants or hospitals can call our customer care number and the team is equipped to provide DoC
services for serviceable areas. As on March 31, 2025 we service 11 pin codes. To ensure quality standards and
patient safety are maintained, dedicated protocols for the process have been established by our quality team in
consultation with nephrologists. A specialised vehicle carries the dialysis machine, consumables, reverse osmosis
water tank, and an expert clinical staff to the location. After ensuring the pre-requisites, the dialysis is conducted
and then the vehicle returns to its base location.
As of March 31, 2025, DoC is offered in in India, in the cities, namely, Hyderabad in Telangana, Pune, Mumbai,
Nashik and Nagpur in Maharashtra, Kolkata in West Bengal, Mohali in Chandigarh, Chennai and Coimbatore in
Tamil Nadu, Vadodara in Gujarat, Ranchi in Jharkhand and Bhubaneswar in Odisha.
287DoW. We are also providing our DoW services for dialysis patients, allowing patients to seek essential dialysis
treatment right outside their homes or offices. We started our DoW services a few years ago. The ambulance van
comprises a fully operational dialysis setup and is operated by expert clinical staff. The advantage of DoW is that
it offers patients who do not have suitable environments at home to benefit from HHD just outside their homes or
offices.
Clinic Network and Expansion Strategy
As of March 31, 2025, we operated a total of 477 in-clinic and 13 off-clinics across India and select international
markets. Our expansion strategy is built on a diversified model comprising greenfield developments and
brownfield acquisitions, across various in-clinic formats, enabling scalable growth across geographies.
Greenfield operations involve establishing new dialysis clinics from the ground up. These projects require full
investment in infrastructure, equipment, and staffing, but allow us complete control over site selection, facility
design, and clinical protocols from inception. Brownfield operations, on the other hand, involve acquiring and
integrating existing dialysis clinics—either individually (unit-by-unit) or as part of a larger clinic network. This
model allows for faster operational ramp-up and provides immediate access to an existing patient base,
infrastructure, and local staff.
Greenfield Operations
We commenced our operations in 2010 with a greenfield strategy focused on establishing standalone dialysis
clinics outside hospital premises. These clinics were designed to improve access in underserved areas, backed by
modern infrastructure and standardized clinical protocols that ensure consistent, high-quality dialysis care across
all clinics. These protocols typically include strict infection control practices, patient-specific dialysis
prescriptions, real-time monitoring of treatment adequacy, and clinical audits. Over time, we observed that many
patients preferred receiving dialysis within hospital environments, citing convenience and access to broader
medical services. In response, we pivoted toward a hospital-based model under long-term outsourcing
arrangements, which proved to be more scalable and capital efficient. In the last two years, we have evolved our
greenfield strategy to include clinics established within hospital premises where hospitals require a full dialysis
setup investment but prefer not to manage it directly. This hybrid model combines the benefits of greenfield
customization with the built-in access advantages of hospital settings. We also continue to establish standalone
greenfield clinics in regions with adequate demand, nephrologist presence, and insurance coverage, particularly
where hospital tie-ups are not viable.
Clinics are set up either as standalone units or within hospital campuses, based on demand dynamics and strategic
alignment. These clinics are expected to achieve a run rate of approximately 250 treatments within the first year
of operations. The typical configurations begin with five dialysis beds and are scalable based on utilization
In the last three Fiscals we had operationalized 26 active greenfield clinics in India, both within and outside
hospital environments.
This evolved greenfield approach complements our core hospital outsourcing and brownfield acquisition
strategies, supporting our goal of accessible, high-quality, and scalable dialysis care across diverse markets.
Brownfield Operations
Alongside greenfield expansion, we continue to pursue growth through brownfield opportunities, which involve
taking over and operating existing dialysis clinics run by hospitals, not for profits, or other private providers
looking to outsource their dialysis operations. This strategy enables rapid expansion with lower upfront capital
investment and faster revenue realization. Our brownfield strategy allows us to expand in urban and semi-urban
areas, leverage existing infrastructure and local staff and achieve operational synergies across our network. Both
greenfield and brownfield models are aligned with our objective of providing accessible, high-quality dialysis
care while maintaining capital efficiency and scalability across diverse markets. In the last three Fiscals, we had
operationalized 245 active brownfield clinics in India, both within and outside hospital environments.
288We follow two primary modes under this model:
Clinic-by-Clinic Roll-up:
We follow a clinic-by-clinic roll-up strategy in the Philippines, wherein we identify and acquire individual dialysis
clinics, primarily from independent operators or doctors looking to exit their dialysis operations. These clinics are
subsequently rebranded and integrated into our clinical, operational, and compliance frameworks to ensure
consistency with our quality standards.
As of March 31, 2025, we have acquired 13 dialysis clinics in the Philippines through this model, enabling us to
expand our footprint efficiently and establish a strong presence in the market.
Network Roll-up:
We pursue large-scale strategic acquisitions to drive network expansion and strengthen our market presence. A
key example of a large-scale acquisition in India is our takeover of DaVita India, through which we added 18
clinics to our network. Each acquisition is subject to rigorous evaluation across parameters such as clinical quality,
patient retention, profitability, and geographic fit prior to integration.
In the Philippines, we have successfully executed brownfield acquisitions that have significantly contributed to
our international growth. Including through acquisition of RCDC, which marked our entry into the Philippines,
RTSI, which enabled expanding our presence in the North and central region of Philippines and the Hemo Group,
which further reinforced our position through its multiple high-capacity clinics.
Our brownfield strategy enables us to scale rapidly, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas, by leveraging
existing infrastructure, local clinical teams, and operational resources. This model allows for quicker market entry,
reduced setup time, and the ability to realise operational synergies across our network.
Our Clinics
To deliver our dialysis and related services, we design, build, and operate dialysis clinics. As of March 31, 2025,
we offered dialysis and other services through a network of 490 dialysis clinics, including 477 in-clinic and 13
off-clinic locations, spread across 302 cities in four countries in Asia, including India.
India Operations
We commenced operations in 2010 with one clinic and as of March 31, 2025, we have established 447 clinics in
India. Our network spans 21 States and four Union Territories across India and as of March 31, 2025 and we are
present in 269 cities. We operate the most widely distributed dialysis network in India (Source: F&S Report) with
no single city contributing over 5.21% of our revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025, thereby reducing
concentration risk
Our growth has been driven by a mix of greenfield developments, brownfield acquisitions, and public-private
partnership (PPP) arrangements with government agencies and private hospitals.
Operations outside India
We have expanded our operations outside India to include Nepal, the Philippines, Uzbekistan, and have recently
entered the Middle East market through KSA. As of March 31, 2025, outside India, we operated a total of five
clinics in Nepal, 34 clinics in the Philippines and four clinics in Uzbekistan, respectively. In Fiscal 2025, 2024
and 2023, we generated ₹ 2,403.10 million, ₹ 1,346.16 million and ₹ 511.84 million, respectively, from our
revenue from operations outside India that accounted for 31.79%, 23.78%, and 11.70%, respectively, of our
revenue from operations in such periods.
Nepal
We commenced our operations in Nepal in December 2018, and as of March 31, 2025, we are present in five cities
in Nepal. Owing to geographic proximity and demographic similarity, our Nepal operations are managed as an
extension of our Indian network, following a cluster-based expansion model aimed at operational efficiency and
optimal resource utilization.
289Philippines
To further expand our international footprint, we entered the Philippines market in September 2020 through the
acquisition of a majority stake in RCDC and Asialife. This acquisition provided us with immediate access to an
operational network of six dialysis clinics across the Philippines. Building on this platform, we continued to
strengthen our presence in the Philippines through further strategic acquisitions. For further information, see “-
Organic growth augmented by proven track record of acquisitions and integration in India and internationally”
on page 279.
In addition to these larger transactions, we also pursued our clinic-by-clinic roll-up model, acquiring clinics from
independent operators and integrating them into our standardised clinical and operational framework. As of March
31, 2025, we have acquired a total of 17 companies in the Philippines, all of which are covered under the
PhilHealth Reimbursement Program, a national health insurance scheme that provides financial support for
dialysis and other medical services. These acquisitions have collectively positioned us as a leading dialysis service
provider in the Philippines, with a scalable and capital-efficient model anchored in high-quality patient care and
strong institutional alignment, enabling us to replicate our India growth strategy internationally by leveraging
existing infrastructure, ensuring clinical consistency, and driving operational synergies. For further information,
see “History and Other Corporate Matters – Subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of our Company” on
page 323.
In the Philippines, we offer haemodialysis and its supporting pharmacy and diagnostics, such as, such as routine
blood panels, and dispensing essential nephrology medications including Erythropoietin and Iron through our
network of clinics. our primary operating model is standalone dialysis clinics with all our 34 clinics operating
under the standalone model. While operational quality standards are aligned with our India business, core
functions such as finance, human resources, and business development are handled locally to suit regional
requirements.
Uzbekistan
We entered the Uzbekistan market following our successful participation in a competitive public-private
partnership tender issued by the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan, which we won after a competitive bidding
process against major global dialysis players including Fresenius Medical Care and Diaverum. (Source: F&S
Report) Our selection as the preferred partner was based on our ability to demonstrate proven operational expertise
in managing large-scale dialysis networks in emerging markets, competitive pricing and sustainable business
model, strong clinical governance and quality assurance frameworks and technological readiness and
infrastructure deployment capabilities. This engagement marked a strategic milestone in our international
expansion, enabling us to enter the Uzbekistan market through a long-term PPP structure. The contract awarded
to us includes the design, construction, procurement, commissioning, and operation of a network of dialysis clinics
across multiple provinces in Uzbekistan. A 165-bed dialysis facility in Tashkent, is currently the largest dialysis
clinic globally (Source: F&S Report). With minimum treatment volume catering to 1,100 patients guarantees over
a 10-year period, offering visibility into long-term revenue streams and responsibility for full lifecycle
management, including biomedical engineering, staffing, quality management, and patient care delivery. Our
entry into Uzbekistan through this tender reinforces our ability to compete at a global scale, operate under stringent
regulatory and clinical benchmarks, and replicate our operating model across diverse healthcare ecosystems.
See also, “Risk Factors – We operate a number of our dialysis clinics under public private partnership (“PPP”)
contracts awarded by government agencies through a competitive bidding process. Such contracts accounted
for 32.62%, 29.24% and 22.39% of our revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
There can be no assurance that we will qualify for, or that we will successfully compete and win such tenders,
which could have an adverse impact on our business prospects, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.” on page 45.
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
We have recently entered the Middle East market through a joint venture with Arabian International Healthcare
Holding Company, a Al Faisaliah Group company, with the objective of expanding our dialysis service footprint
in the region.
290Payment Arrangements
We generate revenue through a diversified mix of payment channels. A significant portion comes from public
health agencies, including payments under PPP contracts and various state and central government schemes. For
our captive clinics, payments are collected by majorly by the hospital, whereas in PPP we collect the payment
directly from the government. We also receive payments directly from patients on a fee-for-service, self-pay basis,
predominantly through banking channels, and a smaller share from insurance providers, covering patients under
private or employer-sponsored plans. For DoW and DoC treatments, payments are made after each session. The
table set forth below indicates payment received through different payment channels in India as of / for the month
of March for the years indicated.

Stakeholders
We operate a stakeholder-centric model that integrates the interests and well-being of patients, hospitals,
nephrologists, clinical staff, and dieticians across our network. Our approach is designed to foster long-term
partnerships, enhance clinical outcomes, and create a scalable healthcare ecosystem built on quality, trust, and
patient experience.
Patients.
At the core of our operations are our patients, whom we refer to as “Guests.”. We firmly believe that dialysis
patients can lead normal lives if they have access to high-quality dialysis, in accordance with prescribed clinical
protocols, coupled with nutritional guidance and positive mindset.
We stand by our first core value of ‘Guest Care Comes First’. We endeavour to make our patients to feel like
guests at our clinics.
• Patient-centric philosophy and experience: Our patient engagement model is built around comfort, and
clinical excellence. Majority of our clinics are designed to create a welcoming environment, with wi-fi
access, private television, and activities such as in-clinic birthday celebrations to foster a sense of community
and emotional well-being.
• We organize large-scale community events such as: Aashayein, an annual patient forum where individuals
on dialysis interact with nephrologists, dieticians, and transplant specialists.
• Dialysis Olympiad, a first-of-its-kind Olympic-style event for dialysis patients, focused on boosting morale
through sports. As of March 31, 2025, we had hosted six Dialysis Olympiad across India and Philippines.
Through our holiday dialysis program, patients can continue treatment while traveling, with our Company
managing travel, accommodation, and treatment logistics, wherever the patient is. This program is not just limited
to our Company's 'patients' but also extends to other patients on dialysis.
291In addition, we offer a variety of off-clinic services such as DoC, HHD and DoW that offer convenience to our
patients and bring dialysis to their doorstep. For further information, see “ – Business Operations – Off-Clinic
Dialysis Services” on page 287.
Hospitals.
Hospitals are among our strategic stakeholders and serve as the cornerstone of our captive (in-clinic) dialysis
model in India. Our partnerships with private hospitals are structured to deliver mutual value, allowing hospitals
to offer high-quality dialysis services without incurring capital expenditure or operational burdens, while enabling
us to expand our footprint efficiently across the country.
Under these long-term arrangements, we establish and operate dialysis units within hospital premises on a
revenue-sharing basis. These units are fully owned and operated by us, with our Company responsible for:
• End-to-end clinic setup, including investment in dialysis machines and RO water systems;
• Staffing and training of clinical personnel;
• Procurement and supply of consumables and equipment; and
• Implementation of our RenAssure protocol, ensuring standardization and quality control across partner
hospitals.
This model allows hospitals to:
• Outsource a specialized function that is resource-intensive and requires compliance with clinical and
operational protocols;
• Optimize space utilization and generate ancillary revenue through revenue share; and
• Improve their service portfolio without diverting focus from their core specialties.
Our operational scale, standardized protocols, and sourcing efficiencies enable significant cost advantages and
operating margin improvements for hospital partners.
292As of March 31, 2025, we had entered into 250 partnerships with hospitals and hospital chains across India. These
arrangements represent a key pillar of our growth strategy, contributing to both clinic expansion and revenue
visibility, while allowing us to integrate deeply into the healthcare delivery ecosystem.
Nephrologists.
Nephrologists play a central role in the dialysis care continuum, responsible for diagnosing patients with ESRD,
prescribing and modifying dialysis regimens, and conducting periodic clinical assessments to monitor treatment
outcomes. Our model is designed to be clinical staff-centric, enabling nephrologists to focus exclusively on patient
care by relieving them of administrative and operational burdens. As of March 31, 2025, we had 468 nephrologists
working in our clinics. We manage end-to-end clinic operations, including staffing, machine uptime, consumables,
scheduling, and compliance allowing nephrologists to operate within a well-structured, protocol-driven
ecosystem. We maintain flexible engagement structures tailored to each operating model:
• In PPP clinics, nephrologists are typically engaged on a revenue-sharing basis, wherein they are compensated
as a percentage of the clinic’s earnings. Their engagement is generally for a term ranging from two to five
years, reflecting the contractual and service-linked nature of these government-funded clinics.
• In our captive (hospital-outsource) model, nephrologists are generally engaged through revenue share
arrangements for a term ranging from two to 10 years, either (i) directly with hospital partners where the
nephrologist is retained by the hospital and works alongside us; or (ii) as consultants to our Company, where
we compensate them based on a percentage of revenue share tied to their patient volumes and involvement.
We also offer opportunities for research collaboration, including investigator-led clinical studies and academic
projects. Our internal clinical research team provides full operational support ranging from study design,
regulatory coordination, data collection, and execution—allowing nephrologists to pursue research initiatives
without added administrative overhead. In addition, our consistent adherence to RenAssure protocol, appeals to
nephrologists who prioritize clinical discipline, infection control, and evidence-based treatment. This flexible,
partnership-oriented model has enabled us to build long-standing relationships with nephrologists across markets
and ensures continuity of high-quality care for our patients.
Clinical staff.
Clinical staff play a critical role in providing dialysis treatment to patients at our clinics. We are able to attract
clinical staff to optimally match the needs of our clinics as we offer invaluable clinical experience, and an enabling
environment. As of March 31, 2025, we had 1,738 clinical staff working in our clinics. The job scope of our
clinical staff includes patient-centric dialysis delivery, machine and RO system maintenance, and adherence to
clinical and operational protocols
Clinical staff form the operational backbone of our dialysis delivery model. They are responsible for executing
dialysis procedures, monitoring patient vitals, managing emergency response protocols, and ensuring adherence
to clinical standards at our clinics. Their role is critical to maintaining day-to-day quality of care and patient safety
across our network. We engage clinical staff under a standardized operating structure with a strong focus on
clinical quality, continuous learning, and career development. Our clinical staff are responsible for conducting
dialysis treatments in accordance with the RenAssure protocol, including pre, intra, and post-procedure checklists;
maintaining dialysis machine hygiene and calibration logs; managing patient care documentation and coordinating
with nephrologists on treatment updates and providing first-response support during dialysis-related emergencies.
Further, with Enpidia we are able to deploy well-trained and qualified personnel across our network of clinics.
For further information, see “ – Human Resources – Enpidia” on page 304.
Dieticians.
Diet plays a critical role in the clinical management of patients undergoing dialysis, as impaired kidney function
impacts the body’s ability to regulate fluid, electrolytes, and waste. Dialysis, while necessary for kidney failure,
can lead to bone mineral disorders like renal osteodystrophy, characterized by weakened bones and increased
fracture risk. This occurs due to imbalances in calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels. Dietary
modifications and medication can help mitigate these effects. (Source: F&S Report) Our in-house team of
qualified dieticians supports patients in maintaining nutritional balance and managing risks related to potassium,
sodium, phosphorus, and fluid overload, which are key dietary concerns for individuals on dialysis. We provide
293every patient with access to free one-on-one dietary consultations with a qualified dietician, both at the time of
onboarding and through periodic reviews. Our website features a curated library of dialysis-friendly Indian recipes
and educational content, developed by our in-house nutrition team. We conduct patient education sessions across
clinics on topics such as fluid management, dietary compliance, and transplant readiness. Dietary consultations
are designed to ensure that patients and their caregivers understand the importance of dietary compliance and are
equipped with practical and personalized recommendations to implement it. (Source: F&S Report)
In addition to direct consultations, our dieticians who are enrolled on our payroll, curate and maintain a
comprehensive digital repository of dialysis-friendly Indian recipes, nutrition articles, and educational resources
on our website, enabling sustained patient engagement beyond the clinic. All dieticians at our Company are full-
time employees on our payroll, enabling consistent clinical engagement, accountability, and alignment with
standardized care protocols.
Quality Assurance and Quality Management
One of the factors that has an impact on longevity and quality of life of a dialysis patient is the quality of dialysis
delivered. Dialysis quality is affected by several factors, including the quality of the treated water, infection control
measures, adherence to clinical protocols, dialysate composition and treatment time. (Source: F&S Report)
Our clinical protocols
We have implemented a proprietary clinical framework, RenAssure, which serves as the backbone of our service
delivery across all dialysis clinics. RenAssure is a standardised, evidence-based protocol designed to ensure safety,
consistency, hygiene, and risk mitigation in all aspects of dialysis treatment. The protocol comprises a
comprehensive clinical checklist, encompassing patient admission, treatment preparation, cannulation,
monitoring, disinfection, and post-treatment procedures. This includes stringent infection control protocols aimed
at minimising risks of cross-patient viral transmission such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV, including
seroconversion, along with quality monitoring of all dialysis treatments through a centralised data platform.
All our clinical staff are trained in these protocols and are required to adhere to such protocols. The RenAssure
protocols are reviewed by the Advisory Team of Clinical Experts comprising nephrologists in India and
internationally, whose expertise combined with our operational protocols, to ensure any new research findings are
incorporated. Various stages of review are carried out following which the finalised protocols are then rolled out
across all our clinics.
As part of our ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, we regularly monitor and evaluate the performance of
our dialysis clinics across key clinical parameters such as anaemia management, dialysis adequacy, nutritional
outcomes, vascular access practices, and treatment frequency. We publish clinic rankings based on clinical
outcomes, recognising top-performing clinics across our entire network of clinics. These rankings are based on
objective metrics including testing compliance and clinical control rates, and are used to promote transparency,
foster internal competition, and drive continuous improvement in care quality across our network.
This structured outcome-based monitoring framework enables us to identify best practices, address gaps, and
benchmark performance at a national level, thereby reinforcing our focus on data-driven clinical governance.
Quality assurance and audits
We consistently conduct quality and operational audits of our clinics to ensure compliance with essential protocols
and maintain high standards of service. We have a dedicated quality assurance team, which is independent of
operations, and conducts regular audits across all clinics. Our quality managers, with dialysis experience, perform
on-site reviews and real-time staff training to ensure adherence. The audit findings are tracked through a
centralized system, enabling quick corrective actions and ongoing monitoring.
Digital enablement
We have invested significantly in technology to improve patient convenience and care continuity. Our ‘Guest
Application’ allows patients to schedule treatments, consult with nephrologists and dieticians via video, track
treatment history, and access educational content.
We provide home and on-demand dialysis services, to improve accessibility and flexibility, we offer multiple off-
294clinic models:
• HHD: For patients preferring treatment at home.
• DoC: Temporary setups at patient residences or partner hospitals.
• DoW: Mobile dialysis vans providing care near patient homes or workplaces.
These services are especially relevant for patients with mobility challenges or those in underserved areas. For
further information, see “ – Business Operations – Off-Clinic Dialysis Services” on page 287.
We also leverage technology to monitor and ensure quality of dialysis services at our clinics. Our central quality
team monitors RO water quality, equipment logs, and compliance dashboards. Country-wise quality parameters
including mortality, Hb level and cross infection rates are monitored by the central quality team in India to ensure
that audits are being performed, reverse osmosis parameters are within the desired range and all other quality-
related aspects are maintained, we then adopt the RenAssure protocols to suit the country’s dialysis system. A
team of transition technicians from India assists in transitioning new clinics in international geographies as well.
We follow a structured integration process to ensure seamless onboarding and standardization across newly
acquired or transitioned clinics. Whenever a clinic is transitioned into our network, a transition technician is
deployed for one – three months to ensure the clinic adopts the RenAssure protocols. A day-wise transition plan
is followed, and the on-site team is trained on our ‘patient-centric’ approach to care delivery.
The transition technician is responsible for implementing our proprietary RenAssure protocols, covering clinical
operations, infection control, documentation practices, and patient experience standards and also implementing
our ‘patient-centric’ measures and training to the staff. The integration process also includes calibration of medical
equipment, alignment of inventory and procurement systems, onboarding of clinical and administrative staff onto
our human resources and management information system platforms, and incorporation into centralized reporting
structures. Once the initial implementation is completed, the clinic is handed over to a Quality Manager who
conducts an audit within a defined timeframe to ensure compliance with our protocols. International transitions
are supported by a central team from India to ensure process consistency and quality across geographies.
As we expand our operations outside India, our clinical team works closely with local personnel in countries to
align RenAssure protocols with regional practices while maintaining core quality standards.
Research and Development
We actively contribute to clinical advancement in nephrology through research publications, conference
presentations, and clinical trials. We have published our research in leading peer-reviewed nephrology journals
including Kidney International, Hemodialysis International, American Journal of Kidney Diseases and British
Medical Journal. Some of these publications include for instance, ‘Gender Disparity in Hemodialysis Practices
and Mortality: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Observational Study’ and ‘Risk Factors for Mortality Among
Patients on Hemodialysis in India: A Case Control Study’ published in the Indian Journal of Nephrology in Fiscal
2024 and ‘Reprocessing and reuse of dialyzers: A technological solution for balancing cost and quality in lower
and middle-income countries’ published in the International Journal of Artificial Organs in Fiscal 2023.
We have also participated in several clinical trials and studies including those focused on dialysis parameters for
life-threatening illnesses. As of March 31, 2025, we are involved in five clinical trials. We have a clinical research
team which is Good Clinical Practice-certified and are capable of running trials end-to-end. We have established
an Institutional Ethics Committee which is registered with relevant authorities to review and approve study
proposals. For further information see, “-Driving clinical excellence and quality through protocols and advanced
technology” on page 279.
Digital and IT Infrastructure
The adoption of technology is critical for us to scale our operations. We have leveraged technology to assist us in
modernising and optimising our business operations. Our various technology features also allow for greater
convenience for our stakeholders, allowing our patients a one-stop shop to all their medical records and
prescription, as well as offering our nephrologists to utilise a centralised record tracking system to efficiently track
the progress and treatment of their patients.
Cloud-Native Transformation. We transitioned from traditional, manually scaled servers to a fully cloud-native
architecture. This shift eliminates the need for manual intervention during high or low server loads, ensuring
295automatic scalability, faster deployments, and greater cost efficiency aligned with modern, responsive healthcare
delivery.
We operate a proprietary in-house developed clinic management portal that serves as the core system across all
our clinics. It enables operational functions such as billing, reporting appointment scheduling, patient lifecycle
management, including demographic details, clinical parameters, prescriptions, and investigations and centralized
access for nephrologists and clinical staff to track treatment history and outcomes.
The system is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics to support key enterprise functions including finance,
accounting, supply chain, and management information systems, enabling greater automation, governance, and
scalability across our central operations. Additionally, an OCR engine has been embedded to digitize investigation
reports and automatically populate structured clinical data within the patient records system.
Renova Dialyzer Reprocessing System. We have developed Renova, a cloud-enabled dialyzer and globally
patented reprocessing system that allows safe, efficient reuse of dialyzers for the same patient by ensuring
validated cleaning, performance checks, and automated safety indicators. Key features include cloud-based data
storage for all reprocessing logs, correlation of reprocessing data with clinical outcomes and remote
troubleshooting capabilities, allowing biomedical engineers to log into the device, diagnose faults, and resolve
issues without on-site intervention, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Patient Engagement and Clinical Apps
We have developed multiple digital tools to enhance the patient and provider experience:
Guest Application: A patient facing mobile application that provides access to medical records, prescriptions,
dieticians and nephrologists, treatment bookings, access to regular health and diet tips, amongst others. It serves
as a one-stop platform for communication and continuity of care.
296Nephrologist Application. We have also built a mobile application for nephrologists to track patient’s medical
history, update prescriptions, and conduct video consultations, amongst others. It also provides a transparent
history of nephrologists pay-outs for consultations from our network.
In-clinic application. We have developed a host of custom web and mobile applications to manage our clinic
297operations efficiently. These apps are used to track an array of critical clinical parameters throughout patient’s
journey at our clinics. This includes all the vital parameters, weight gain, fluid removed, tests done and any
medications administered. This enables us to have a lot of important data pertaining to the dialysis treatment and
allows central monitoring of relevant data by quality team along with algorithm generated summaries and triggers.
This further enables analysis of patient data for clinical research.

advancements related to our medical equipment and technology could adversely affect our business prospects
and financial performance.” on page 63.
Risk Management and Internal Controls
Patient safety, clinical excellence, and operational integrity are foundational to our business. We recognize that
the dialysis offered at our clinic scarry inherent clinical and operational risks. To address this, we have
implemented a comprehensive, multi-layered risk management system that ensures compliance with legal
requirements, industry standards and our internal requirements across all aspects of our business and operations.
We have instituted rigorous clinical risk assessment protocols to proactively identify and mitigate risks associated
with procedures, equipment, and medication. Our RenAssure protocols, designed in-house, exemplify this
approach by codifying over 50 steps to eliminate infection risks during dialysis. These protocols not only ensure
patient safety but also strengthen our positioning as a quality- and outcomes-driven dialysis provider.
In addition to risk reporting, traditional reporting to management is an important tool for managing and controlling
risks, as well as for taking preventive measures in a timely manner. Given the scale of our operations and our
diverse presence, it is important for us to ensure the quality of our services and at the same time prevent frauds
from occurring. To tackle the situation, we have deployed a three-pronged approach – quality audits by dedicated
quality team, operational audits by operational teams and vigilance audits by independent internal vigilance team.
Our internal vigilance team is a 14 membered team, as of March 31, 2025, tasked to identify, stop and recover
any frauds across our operations. The vigilance team is tasked with tools including access to IT systems, CCTV
footage, financial records and petty cash statements to monitor on-ground activities. Once a red flag is raised by
299the vigilance team, the team is empowered to conduct surprise audits and suggest corrective action to the
management.
Further, our internal auditors evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls, corporate governance and
accounting processes. Reports are submitted periodically to the Board, enabling active oversight and informed
decision-making.
Business Development and Marketing
We continue to invest in business development and marketing initiatives to support our expansion strategy, build
brand equity, and deepen stakeholder engagement across geographies.
Business Development. Our business development team plays a pivotal role in driving both domestic and
international growth. As of March 31, 2025, the team comprised 21 full-time employees, organized across
functional verticals and regions.
Key responsibilities of the team include:
• Identifying and establishing new dialysis clinics, either through partnerships with hospitals for captive clinics
through Brownfield or Greenfield setups or by setting up standalone clinics in underserved locations.
• Conducting financial feasibility assessments, applying defined thresholds related to capital investment and
long-term profitability for every proposed clinic.
• Engaging with professional medical bodies, organizing continuing medical education (CME) programs, and

responsible for entering new markets and expand the company's international presence through strategic
partnerships. Their mandate includes conducting feasibility assessments, engaging with local governments and
health agencies, and supporting participation in global PPP tenders. The team also explores strategic partnerships
and ensures local alignment of our operating model, including adaptation of clinical protocols, to support
sustainable international expansion.
Marketing. Our marketing strategy is rooted in building trust, enhancing visibility, and fostering meaningful
engagement across all stakeholder groups. While patient and caregiver referrals continue to be a key growth driver,
we supplement this with structured initiatives focused on awareness, education, and community connection.
Key initiatives include:
• Patient engagement events such as the Dialysis Olympiad and Aashayein, which foster community spirit and
build awareness.
• Cross-stakeholder forums like the World Kidney Day Summit and educational webinars, bringing together
nephrologists, clinical staff, technicians, patients, and caregivers to enable dialogue and knowledge-sharing.
• Digital marketing campaigns using emotion-led storytelling, caregiver testimonials, and educational content
to reduce stigma and humanize the dialysis journey.
• Hyper-local and co-branded campaigns with hospital partners, along with preventive health drives and
targeted patient acquisition programs.
• A consistent visual identity and digital presence reinforcing our positioning as a modern, responsive, and
patient-centric dialysis provider.
• Thought leadership through whitepapers, expert columns, and clinical staff-led webinars, reinforcing our
clinical credibility within the nephrology community.
• Technology-enabled communication via mobile apps and WhatsApp, providing patients with real-time
access to appointments, reminders, and lifestyle guidance.
• A curated repository of dialysis-friendly recipes published on our website, created by renal dietitians and
300culinary experts, supporting nutritional adherence and enhancing patient quality of life.
Patient-led advocacy by our co-founder, himself a dialysis patient offering insight and ensuring our engagement
strategy is empathetic, relevant, and purpose-driven. Together, these initiatives reflect a holistic, lifestyle-focused
approach to brand building, anchored in patient-centricity and medical credibility.
Supply Chain and Inventory Management
Efficient procurement and inventory management are critical to ensuring uninterrupted delivery of dialysis care
across our network. We follow a centralized, tech-enabled supply chain model that enables standardization, cost
control, and supply reliability.
Key Consumables and Sourcing Model
Our primary raw materials include dialyser, blood tubing, acid/bicarbonate concentrates, heparin, saline, and other
dialysis-related materials. We follow a hybrid sourcing model:
• For blood tubing sets, we invest in proprietary moulds and source raw materials independently, with contract
manufacturers assembling the final units.
• Dialyzers, Acid/bicarbonate and other critical items are sourced from pre-approved domestic and
international vendors.
All suppliers are evaluated through a structured audit process and must comply with our quality assurance
standards. We have entered into contract manufacturing arrangements typically for 3 years, for key dialysis
consumables such as acid/bicarbonate and blood tubing sets. For acid/bicarbonate, we directly procure raw
materials and supply them to contract manufacturers to produce the final product. Similarly, for blood tubing, we
have invested in proprietary moulds to manufacture components, sourced the tubing independently, and engaged
contract manufacturers to assemble the final units. These contract manufacturing agreements for key consumables
has enabled us to procure raw materials directly and manufacture according to our specifications and retain control
over quality and supply chain timelines. For further information, see “Risk Factors – If we fail to negotiate
favourable terms with our suppliers or vendors, or unable to pass on any cost increases to our patients, our
business, financial condition and profitability may be adversely impacted. We may also be adversely affected if
we experience shortages of consumables or components or material price increases from our suppliers.” on
page 56.

National Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical and Health Research Involving Human Participants, 2017
(“ICMR Code”)
The Indian Council of Medical Research has issued the ICMR Code which envisages that medical and related
research using human beings as research participants must only be carried out after due consideration of all
alternatives and the use of human participants is considered to be essential for the proposed study. The ICMR
Code lays down the requirement of ensuring privacy and confidentiality along with ensuring that such studies are
conducted in a transparent and environmentally friendly manner.
As required by the ICMR Code, it is mandatory that all proposals on biomedical research involving human
participants should be cleared by an appropriately constituted independent and impartial institutional ethics
committee to safeguard the welfare and the rights of the participants. The committee should preferably have seven
to 15 persons while maintaining a balance between medical and non-medical/ technical and non-technical
members, depending upon the needs of the institution.
309These ethics committees are entrusted with the initial review of research proposals prior to their initiation, and
also have a continuing responsibility to regularly monitor the approved research to ensure ethical compliance
during the conduct of research. Such an on-going review has to be in accordance with the international guidelines
wherever applicable and the Standard Operating Procedures of the World Health Organization.
The ICMR Code also provides that the human participants may be paid for the inconvenience and time spent, and
should be reimbursed for expenses incurred, in connection with their participation in the research. They may also
receive free medical services. During the period of research, if any such participant requires treatment for
complaints other than the one being studied necessary, free ancillary care or appropriate treatments may be
provided. However, the ethics committee is entrusted to ensure that payments should not be so large or the medical
services so extensive as to make a prospective participant’s consent readily to enrol in research against their better
judgment, which would then be treated as undue inducement.
ICMR Guidelines for Good Clinical Laboratory Practices, 2021 (“GCLP Guidelines”)

human samples. These guidelines are crucial for ensuring the timely and accurate processing of biological
samples, which in turn leads to early and accurate diagnosis, enhanced patient safety, and desired clinical
outcomes. Their primary objective is to empower laboratories and researchers to consistently provide reliable and
reproducible data and reports for both routine healthcare delivery and clinical research across India’s public sector,
private sector, and research institutions.
The GCLP Guidelines apply uniformly to all clinical laboratories processing human samples, encompassing a
wide range of disciplines such as microbiology, haematology, molecular biology, clinical biochemistry, and
histopathology, etc. This extensive coverage extends to laboratories of all sizes and at all levels of the public
health system, including primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities, as well as specialized reference and
research laboratories and sample collection centres.
There is a meticulous implementation of a Quality Management System, integrating Quality Control, Quality
Assurance, and overall Quality Management to maintain high standards and minimize errors. Furthermore, the
guidelines integrate strong ethical principles, emphasizing voluntariness, non-exploitation, privacy,
confidentiality, and the minimization of risk for human participants. They also mandate professional competence,
transparency, accountability, and environmental protection, ensuring that all laboratory activities are conducted
ethically and contribute to public health and research integrity.

rights to marks such as a brand, label and heading and obtaining relief in case of infringement. The Trademarks

trademarks or chemical compounds, among others. Indian law permits the registration of trademarks for both
goods and services. It also provides for penalty in case of infringement, falsifying and falsely applying for
trademarks. Under the provisions of the Trademarks Act, an application for trademark registration may be made
before the Trademark Registry by any person claiming to be the proprietor of a trademark, whether individual or
joint applicants, and can be made on the basis of either actual use or intention to use a trademark in the future.
Once granted, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled, subsequent to which, it can be
renewed. If not renewed, the mark lapses and the registration are required to be restored. Further, pursuant to the
notification of the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 2010 (“Trademark Amendment Act”) simultaneous

B. Basis of Consolidation
(i) Subsidiary
Subsidiary includes the entity over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed or has right to variable
return from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power (that is, existing rights that give it
the current ability to direct the relevant activities) over the entity. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls the entity, in case the
under-lying facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to above mentioned parameters that determine the existence of
control.
Subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, and they are deconsolidated from the date
when control ceases.
(ii) Principles of consolidation
The Restated Consolidated financial information relate to Nephrocare Health Services Limited and its subsidiaries.
The Restated Consolidated financial information have been prepared on the following basis:
The Restated Consolidated financial information of the Group have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the
book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after fully eliminating intra-group balances and intra-group
transactions and resulting unrealised profits. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated unless cost
cannot be recovered.
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners
of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-
controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-
controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity.
The profit and other comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest of subsidiaries are shown separately in the
Restated Consolidated statement of Profit and Loss and Restated Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as that
of the Group.
The Restated Consolidated financial information have been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and
other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner, as the Company’s separate
financial statements.

C. Summary of material accounting policies
The Restated Consolidated financial information have been prepared using the accounting policies and measurement basis summarized
below:
a. Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
Anassetis classified as current when it is:
(cid:127) Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
(cid:127) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
(cid:127) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(cid:127) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Aliabilityis classified as current when:
(cid:127) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
(cid:127) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
(cid:127) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(cid:127) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
b. Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between the functional currency
and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate. Non-monetary items denominated in a
foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary
items which are carried at fair value, or any other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange
rates that existed when the values were determined.
394Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (subsidiaries), including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are
translated into INR at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into INR
at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of
the transaction.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the equity (as exchange differences on translating the financial
statements of a foreign operation), except to the extent that the exchange differences are allocated to NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve
related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its
interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reallocated to NCI.
c. Revenue recognition
The Group derives income by providing dialysis treatments to patients. Revenue from these services is recognised when the dialysis
treatment of patient is completed.
Revenue is recognized on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers
for an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is
measured based on the transaction price, which is the fixed consideration adjusted for components of variable consideration, principal
versus agents’ considerations, any other rights and obligations as specified in the contracts entered with third party hospitals.
In determining the transaction price, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing
components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any). Revenue is recognised at the point in time for
the dialysis services when the related services are rendered at the transaction price.
Other Operating Income, including revenue from the sale of pharmacy products and scrap, is recognized at the point in time when the
performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer
and payment by the customer contractually exceeds one year as on the date of sale of such goods or service. As a consequence, it does
not require to adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
d. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of
time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as
incurred.
e. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Recognition and initial measurement
As on the date of transition to Ind-AS, the Group had availed one time transition exemption regarding the carrying cost of property, plant
and equipment (PPE), pursuant thereto the carrying cost as at 01 April 2019 reported under the previous GAAP were considered as
deemed cost for reporting under Ind-AS
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization
criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and
rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other
repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit or loss as incurred.
395Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of useful lives as estimated
by management basis its technical evaluation. Following is the useful life estimated by management:
Description Estimated Useful life (in years) Useful life (in years) under
by Management Schedule II
Plant and equipment – Medical 7-11 7
Plant and equipment - Others 10 10
Furniture and fixtures 10 10
Office equipment 5 5
Vehicles 8 8
Computers 3 3
Buildings 30 30
Leasehold improvements Lower of lease term or useful life -
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if
appropriate.
Depreciation
Depreciation on the addition/disposals is charged on pro-rata basis from/until the date of such addition/disposal.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss, when
the asset is derecognised.
Capital work-in-progress
Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet date, is shown as capital work-in-progress. Advances given towards
acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed as other non-current assets.
.
f. Intangible assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Intangible assets are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met
and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
The intangible assets arising from business combination consists of brands, non-compete, patient relationship and nephrologist
relationship with useful life of 5 years, 5 years, 3 years, and 10 years respectively.
Subsequent measurement (amortisation)
The cost of capitalized software is amortized over a period of up to 6 years, on a straight-line basis. Amortisation on the addition/disposals
is charged on pro-rata basis from/until the date of such addition/disposal.
g. Leases
The Group assess at the contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to
each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases where the stand-alone prices of lease
and non-lease components is not determinable, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease
and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Group pays “Hospital fees” to the hospital for services like leasing out the rental premises, nephrologist services and other common
facilities. These include both lease and non-lease components where the standalone prices of non-lease components are not
determinable, hence, the entire expense is considered as a single lease component.
396Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
Group as a lessee
Right-of-use assets:
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use).
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs
incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is
reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated
on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
Lease liabilities:
At the commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made
over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.
The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments
of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments
that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment
occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if
the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased
to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is
remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the
assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset,
or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Short term leases and leases of low-value assets:
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of premises/equipment’s (i.e., those leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of
low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of premises/equipment’s.
h. Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, based on internal or external
factors. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit. If such
recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
If, at the reporting date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed, and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. Impairment losses previously recognized are accordingly reversed in
the statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.
i. Financial instruments
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Trade receivables issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially
recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade
receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not
at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing
component is initially measured at the transaction price.
The financial asset is classified as measured at:
amortised cost;
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – equity instrument; or
fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
397Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
Subsequent measurement
Debt instruments at amortised cost– A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on
the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)
method.
Equity investments– All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for
trading are generally classified at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify
the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Group
makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Group
has transferred its rights to receive the contractual cash flows from the asset.
Other income - Interest income
Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and rate applicable. For all debt
instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the
financial instrument to:
the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
the amortised cost of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and transaction cost that is attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities
is also adjusted. These liabilities are classified as amortised cost.
Subsequent measurement
These liabilities include borrowings, trade payables, deposits etc. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the contractual obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are off-set, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable
legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously.
j. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss
for financial assets.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows
that the Group expects to receive. When estimating the cash flows, the Group is required to consider-
All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.
Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
398Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
(cid:127) the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security
(if any is held); or
(cid:127) the financial asset is past due.
Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL
category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, the Company recognises 12 month expected credit losses
for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly
since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset
increases significantly since its initial recognition.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of
recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be
subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
k. Inventories
Inventories comprising of medical consumables are valued at cost and include purchase price and other direct expenses incurred to bring
inventories to its present condition and location. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories
is determined using the weighted average method. Cost includes purchase price excluding taxes those are subsequently recoverable by
the Group from the concerned authorities, freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present
location.
The carrying cost of medical consumables are appropriately written down when there is a decline in replacement cost of such materials
which are expected to be sold below cost.
l. Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in statement of profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax except the ones recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax
payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be
paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it
is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable
that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future taxable income. This is assessed based on
the Group’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use
of any unused tax loss or credit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are
re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax
relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate
to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current
tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a
non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated
with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from regular revenue generating (operating activities), investing and financing
activities of the Group are segregated.
n. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments (original maturity of three
months or less) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
o. Post-employment, long-term and short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. is recognized on the basis of the amount paid or
payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee.
Defined contribution plan
The Group’s contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance schemes is charged to the statement of profit and loss. The
Group’s contributions towards Provident Fund are deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner under a defined contribution
plan.
Defined benefit plan
The Group has gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to
the employee’s length of service and final salary. The liability recognised in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date net of fair value of plan assets, if any. Management estimates the DBO
annually with the assistance of independent actuaries, by adopting the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses resulting
from re-measurements of the liability are included in other comprehensive income.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group also provides benefit of compensated absences to its employees which are in the nature of long -term benefit plan. Liability in
respect of compensated absences becoming due and expected to be availed more than one year after the balance sheet date is estimated
on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method as on the reporting
date. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded in the statement
of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses arise.
p. Share based payments
Certain employees of the Group are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined
vesting period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. The fair
value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants. The stock compensation
expense is determined based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest using fair value in accordance with
Ind AS 102, Share based payments.
The employee benefits expense is measured using the fair value of the employee stock options and is recognised over vesting period
with a corresponding increase in equity. The vesting period is the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
q. Business combinations
The Group accounts for its business combinations under acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition related costs are recognised in
the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
that meet the condition for recognition are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. Purchase consideration paid in excess
of the fair value of net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost
of acquisition, after reassessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is recognised as capital reserve.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either al fair value of the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of
the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those
interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests' share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination
occurs, the Group reports in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the
measurement period, the Group retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised at the acquisition date to reflect new
400Nephrocare Health Services Limited (formerly known as Nephrocare Health Services Private Limited)
Annexure – V Material accounting policies and other explanatory information
(All Amounts in ₹ millions unless otherwise stated)
information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the
measurement of the amounts recognised as of that date.
During the measurement period, the Group also recognises additional assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities
as of that date.
The measurement period ends as soon as the Group receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed
as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable but does not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
r. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, and when a reliable estimate of the amount
of obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or
Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed. However, when realization of income is virtually certain, related asset is
recognized.
s. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to chief operating decision maker (CODM).
The Managing Director is the Company CODM within the meaning of Ind AS 108.
t. Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
u. Events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the
impact of such events is adjusted within the standalone financial statements. Otherwise, events after the balance sheet date of material
size or nature are only disclosed.

3. Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing
circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that
are beyond the control of the Group.
Recognition of deferred tax assets – The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the
probability of the Group’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized. In addition, significant judgement
is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets: The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires
assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Recoverability of advances/receivables:At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the
management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding receivables and advances.
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets:Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets
at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic
obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software, customer relationships, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.
Measurement of Defined benefit obligation (DBO): Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying
assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these
assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Impairment of Goodwill:TheGroup assesses impairment of goodwill which are recorded at the time of business combination. At the
time when there are any indicators that such investments have suffered a loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The recoverable amount requires estimates of operating margin, discount rate, future growth, terminal value, etc., based on
management’s best estimate.
Loss allowance of trade receivables
In calculating expected credit loss, the Group uses simplified approach for making provision of expected credit losses on trade receivable
using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payment and make appropriate provision at each reporting date.
4. Use of judgements
Following are the critical judgements:
Leases:Ind AS 116 - Leases requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any
option to extend or terminate the lease if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the expected
lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the
contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements
undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group’s
operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future
periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
Income taxes: Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgement on whether tax
positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved
over extended time periods. The recognition of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed
individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.
Provisions and contingent liabilities:The Group exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions and the exposures to
contingent liabilities related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation, government
regulation, as well as other contingent liabilities. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or
a liability will arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation
process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that the outflow of resources would be required to settle the
obligation, the provision is reversed.

(“Audited Financial Statements”) are available on our website at https://nephroplus.com/investors. Our

The accounting ratios derived from the Restated Consolidated Financial Information as required under Clause 11
of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations are given below:
Particulars As at and for Financial Year As at and for Financial Year As at and for Financial Year
ended March 31, 2025 ended March 31, 2024 ended March 31, 2023
Profit/(loss) for the year (in 670.96 351.33 (117.89)
₹ million)
Earnings/(loss) per equity
share
- Basic earnings per share 8.28 4.55 (1.53)
(in ₹)
- Diluted earnings per share 8.01 4.40 (1.53)
(in ₹)
Return on Net Worth (%) 13.19% 8.69% (3.02)%
Net asset value per Equity 59.56 50.20 49.23
Share (in ₹)
EBITDA (excluding other 1,666.37 996.58 485.95
income) (₹in million)
Notes:
(1) Basic earnings per share (₹) = Profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders / Weighted average number of Equity Shares outstanding
during the year for Basic EPS.
(2) Diluted earnings per share (₹) = Profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders/ Weighted average number of Equity Shares during
the year for diluted EPS.
(3) Subsequent to March 31, 2025, our Company has completed a bonus issuance, conversion of CCPS and split of Equity Shares, basic
and diluted EPS as stated above, are computed after considering such bonus issuance, conversion of CCPS and split of Equity Shares.
(4) Return on Net worth (%) is defined as profit/(loss) for the year divided by average net worth. Net Worth has been defined as the
aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities premium account and debit or
credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred expenditure and
miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the restated and consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, but does not include
reserves created out of revaluation of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation.
(5) Net Asset Value per Equity Share is computed by Average Total Equity divided by Weighted average number of shares for dilutive
earnings per share
(6) EBITDA (excluding other income) is calculated as profit/(loss) for the year, plus total tax expense/(benefit), finance costs and
depreciation and amortization expenses, less other income.
Non-GAAP measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with Ind AS, we believe certain non-GAAP measures are
useful to Bidders in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity. We use non-GAAP financial information
such as EBITDA (excluding other income), EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin (%), PAT Margin (%),
Net Debt, Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other income), Net cash flow generated from operating activities /
EBITDA (excluding other income), Return on Adjusted Capital Employed (%), Return on Equity (%), Net Worth,
Return on Net Worth (%) and Net Asset Value per Equity Share to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal
planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively
with financial measures disclosed in financial statements and prepared in accordance with Ind AS, may be helpful
to Bidders because it provides an additional tool for Bidders to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results
449and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, our management does not consider
these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures of our performance and liquidity
that is not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP
Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP and
should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit for the year or any other
measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash
flows generated (used in) by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS
or U.S. GAAP or as a substitute for financial information disclosed in financial statements and presented in
accordance with Ind AS.
Non-GAAP financial information are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of these non-GAAP
Measures between companies may not be possible and these measures may be different from similarly titled non-
GAAP measures used by other companies. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently
from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not required by, or
presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For further details, see “Risk Factors
– Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical information relating to our operations
and financial performance like EBITDA (excluding other income), EBITDA (excluding other income) Margin
(%), PAT Margin (%), Net Debt, Net Debt / EBITDA (excluding other income), Net cash flow generated from
operating activities / EBITDA (excluding other income), Return on Adjusted Capital Employed (%), Return on
Equity (%), Net Worth, Return on Net Worth (%) and Net Asset Value per Equity Share have been included in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of operating
performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable.” on page 81.
For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Results of
Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 455.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Expansion of our clinic network and treatment volumes
Our revenue from operations are dependent on our ability to effectively expand our clinic network and increase
our treatment volumes across both new and existing clinics. We are the only Indian dialysis services provider that
has scaled internationally (Source: F&S Report) with a global network of 490 clinics, with 43 clinics
451internationally across the Philippines, Uzbekistan and Nepal, as of March 31, 2025. We are the most widely
distributed dialysis network in India with an extensive pan-India network of clinics across 269 cities (Source:
F&S Report) and 21 States and four Union Territories and in particular 76.73% of our clinics spread across tier II
and tier III cities and towns, as of March 31, 2025. Our presence spans the North, West, South, and East regions
of India, along with international operations in Nepal, Philippines and Uzbekistan. The following table set forth
certain details of our region wise number of clinics as of March 31, 2025:
Particulars Number of Clinics (As of
March 31, 2025)
India 447
North 76
East 76
West 78
South 217
International* 43
*Out of 43 clinics, 34 are located in Philippines and four in Uzbekistan. Additionally, five clinics are located in Nepal.
Additionally, our ability to serve a growing patient base and perform a higher volume of treatments, such as
haemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, continuous renal replacement therapy, plasmapheresis, and the sale of dialysis-
related pharmacy products, directly impacts our revenue from operations.
The table below sets out our total number of clinics, patients served, total treatments performed and our revenue
from operations for the years indicated:
As of / For the Year As of / For the Year As of / For the Year
Particulars Ended March 31, Ended March 31, Ended March 31,

Treatments (million)(2) 3.30 2.67 2.29
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 7,558.12 5,661.55 4,372.95
Note:
(1) Patients are defined as total number of patients who received at least one dialysis treatment during the reporting year.
(2) Treatments are defined as total number of dialysis treatments performed across the network during the reporting year.
Through the gradual expansion of our network over the years, we have been able to grow our revenue from
operations by serving patients in regions where we did not previously have a presence, as well as increasing our
patient reach in existing regions. We intend to continue to explore expansion opportunities in India to expand our
geographic footprint and deepen patient reach.
The increase in count of clinics and incremental treatment volumes is supported by our brand equity, patient
satisfaction, referral base, and the effectiveness of our marketing and engagement programmes. The quality of
care delivered at our clinics continues to contribute to new patient acquisition, both at existing and newly launched
clinics.
Given the chronic nature of kidney disease, our services generate recurring revenue from ongoing treatments
administered to the same set of patients. However, sustained growth also depends on our ability to attract new
patients and increase awareness and acceptance of our services. To this end, we invest in advertising, brand-
building, and community engagement through multiple channels. In addition to structured marketing initiatives,
word-of-mouth referrals play a critical role in patient inflow. We have dedicated and expect to continue to allocate
significant resources to patient engagement and marketing activities. We remain committed to allocating
significant resources toward marketing, patient engagement, and operational excellence. While these investments
are essential for growth, we continuously evaluate their impact on margins and overall financial sustainability.
International expansion through strategic acquisitions
We intend to continue to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions and investments in the Philippines and
Uzbekistan and other key markets that we expect these to be complementary to our growth strategies, particularly
those that can help us improve our offerings, further strengthen our network, expand our geographic coverage and
grow our patient base. When evaluating potential locations for new clinics, we consider specific criteria such as
population size, competition including demographic analysis, patient footfall estimates, infrastructure readiness,
452commercial viability and proximity to existing clinics. We also pursue strategic acquisitions that complement our
operations and strengthen our service capabilities. In international markets, we strive to leverage our operating
expertise and India-based support systems to replicate our model in geographies with high growth potential.
Integrating acquired companies successfully and realizing anticipated benefits involves several challenges. These
include delays in transfer of clinics, time-consuming integration activities, or outstanding tax obligations and
unexpected difficulties. In addition, the inability to achieve anticipated operating synergies, diversion of
management attention, unforeseen liabilities, and integration costs could also impact our ability to successfully
integrate such acquisitions.
Additionally, target businesses may have undiscovered liabilities or adverse operating issues that we may not
discover as part of our diligence process. Prior owners' non-compliance with laws or contractual obligations may
also result in financial loss or reputational harm. Towards this, we intend to continue to evaluate potential
acquisitions in order to achieve anticipated benefits and avoid incurring excess costs. The successful and timely
integration of such acquisitions will enable us to capture relevant synergies from team and operations and from
a profitability perspective. We will seek to integrate such acquired businesses into our current operations in
a manner that maximizes such synergies.
Asset-light operating model
We operate a scalable and capital-efficient model that supports high patient volumes, enables us to serve a large
and diverse patient base, and delivers strong unit economics. As of March 31, 2025, all of our clinics were either
located within hospital premises under rent-free arrangements or leased, with upfront capital expenditure largely
limited to the installation of medical equipment and basic infrastructure. This asset-light approach facilitates rapid
deployment and expansion, with most clinics achieving operational breakeven within three to four months of
launch. Standardised clinical and operational protocols across our network ensure consistent service delivery and
support uniform scalability. This model allows us to serve a large and diverse patient base while maintaining cost
discipline and operational agility.
However, the asset-light strategy also presents certain risks. Our reliance on leased or hospital-based premises
may expose us to variability in lease terms, renewal uncertainties, and potential limitations on long-term control
over clinic infrastructure. Additionally, while rapid expansion is a strategic advantage, it requires robust
operational oversight to maintain quality standards and manage integration challenges across geographies.
We continue to monitor these risks closely and invest in systems, processes, and governance frameworks to ensure
sustainable growth and consistent patient outcomes across our expanding network.
Expenses relating to costs of dialysis consumables
Dialysis consumables represent a significant component of our operating expenses. These include essential items
such as dialysers, blood tubing, acid/bicarbonate solutions, AVF needles, saline, and medications, which are
critical to the delivery of high-quality renal care.
The table below sets forth details of our cost of materials consumed including as a percentage of our revenue from
operations for the years indicated:
Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Particulars
(₹ million, except for percentages)
Costs of materials consumed 1,941.40 1,686.14 1,425.13
Costs of materials consumed as percentage of 25.69% 29.78% 32.59%
revenue from operations
The cost of these consumables is influenced by multiple factors, including supplier pricing, competitive dynamics,
government policies (such as GST, customs duties, and regulatory price controls), and fluctuations in procurement
volumes.
To manage these expenses effectively, we operate a centralised procurement function that negotiates supply
contracts with a diversified mix of Indian and multinational manufacturers. For international operations, sourcing
is managed independently through local supply chain teams, including both imports and local procurement. This
approach enables us to leverage economies of scale and maintain consistency in supply quality. All procurement
is governed by a standardised requisition and approval process, supported by our internal technology systems.
453Purchase orders are issued based on real-time inventory consumption, clinic-level demand, and supplier terms,
which may include minimum order quantities.
However, any adverse, unforeseen or unanticipated changes in these variables beyond our control may have a
significant impact our cost structure and margins.
Expenses related to hospital fees and healthcare professionals fees
We generate our income from dialysis and related services from our captive, public private partnership and
standalone clinics. The table below sets forth details of our revenues from the three models for the years indicated:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Captive clinics (₹ million) 3,272.44 2,941.90 2,721.23
Public Private Partnership 2,465.63 1,655.57 979.27
Clinics (₹ million)
Standalone clinics (₹ 1,745.37 798.04 444.75
million)
Total (₹ million) 7,483.44 5,395.51 4,145.25
Under these clinic arrangements, our key cost drivers are (i) hospital fees and (ii) healthcare professional fees.
Hospital fees
In our asset-light model, a large number of our clinics are established within existing hospital premises, referred
to as captive setups. In these arrangements, we typically operate on a revenue-sharing model, where the hospital
partner provides space, utilities, and access to captive patient flow. In return, a pre-agreed percentage of the
revenue generated from that clinic is shared with the hospital. This model allows us to enter high-potential
locations with minimal capital outlay while aligning interests with the hospital’s ecosystem. These costs vary
based on geography, patient volumes, and negotiated commercial terms, and represent a material expense line
item in our cost structure.
Healthcare professionals fees
Most of our doctors are not employed full-time but are engaged under two primary models:
• Consultancy agreements: our doctors are retained on a fixed fee and/or revenue share based on the
performance of the clinic; and
• On-call arrangements: our doctors are compensated per patient interaction or treatment, based on pre-
agreed rates.
In addition, we incur joint service payments to doctors who refer patients to our clinics and continue to provide
clinical oversight during the course of dialysis. These arrangements ensure continuity of care and strengthen our
referral ecosystem. All such payments to referring doctors are also recorded under healthcare professional fees in
our Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
The table below sets out our expenses related to hospital fees, in both absolute terms and as a percentage of
revenue from operations for the years indicated:

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Restated Consolidated Financial Information have been prepared using the accounting policies and
measurement basis summarized below:
Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is:
• Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when:
• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency
458(i) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between
the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate. Non-monetary items
denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value, or any other similar valuation
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were
determined.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different
from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in
which they arise.
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (subsidiaries), including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising
on acquisition, are translated into INR at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of
foreign operations are translated into INR at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate
if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the equity (as exchange differences on
translating the financial statements of a foreign operation), except to the extent that the exchange differences are
allocated to NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control is lost, the cumulative amount
in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss
on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant
proportion of the cumulative amount is reallocated to NCI.
Revenue recognition
The Group derives income by providing dialysis treatments to patients. Revenue from these services is recognised
when the dialysis treatment of patient is completed.
Revenue is recognized on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised products or
services to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for
those products or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the fixed consideration
adjusted for components of variable consideration, principal versus agents’ considerations, any other rights and
obligations as specified in the contracts entered with third party hospitals.
In determining the transaction price, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of
significant financing components, non-cash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).
Revenue is recognised at the point in time for the dialysis services when the related services are rendered at the
transaction price.
Other Operating Income, including revenue from the sale of pharmacy products and scrap, is recognized at the
point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or
services to the customer and payment by the customer contractually exceeds one year as on the date of sale of
such goods or service. As a consequence, it does not require to adjust any of the transaction prices for the time
value of money.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalized during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or
459sale. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Recognition and initial measurement
As on the date of transition to Ind-AS, the Group had availed one time transition exemption regarding the carrying
cost of property, plant and equipment (PPE), pursuant thereto the carrying cost as at 01 April 2019 reported under
the previous GAAP were considered as deemed cost for reporting under Ind-AS
Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing
cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition
for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit
or loss as incurred.
Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method, computed on the basis of
useful lives as estimated by management basis its technical evaluation. Following is the useful life estimated by
management:
Description Estimated Useful life (in years) Useful life (in years) under
by Management Schedule II
Plant and equipment – Medical 7-11 7
Plant and equipment - Others 10 10
Furniture and fixtures 10 10
Office equipment 5 5
Vehicles 8 8
Computers 3 3
Buildings 30 30
Leasehold improvements Lower of lease term or useful life -
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
Depreciation
Depreciation on the addition/disposals is charged on pro-rata basis from/until the date of such addition/disposal.
De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss, when the asset is derecognised.
Capital work-in-progress
Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet date, is shown as capital work-in-progress.
Advances given towards acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed as other
non-current assets.
.
Intangible assets
Recognition and initial measurement
460Intangible assets are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if
capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the
intended use.
The intangible assets arising from business combination consists of brands, non-compete, patient relationship and
nephrologist relationship with useful life of 5 years, 5 years, 3 years, and 10 years respectively.
Subsequent measurement (amortisation)
The cost of capitalized software is amortized over a period of up to 6 years, on a straight-line basis. Amortisation
on the addition/disposals is charged on pro-rata basis from/until the date of such addition/disposal.
Leases
The Group assess at the contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the
consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However,
for the leases where the stand-alone prices of lease and non-lease components is not determinable, the Group has
elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component.
The Group pays “Hospital fees” to the hospital for services like leasing out the rental premises, nephrologist
services and other common facilities. These include both lease and non-lease components where the standalone
prices of non-lease components are not determinable, hence, the entire expense is considered as a single lease
component.
Group as a lessee
Right-of-use assets:
The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset
is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount
of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership
of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.
Lease liabilities:
At the commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance
fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise
price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for
terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the period on which the event or
condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease
payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a
change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to
purchase the underlying asset.
461When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of
the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been
reduced to zero.
Short term leases and leases of low-value assets:
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of premises/equipment’s
(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a
purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of
premises/equipment’s.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, based
on internal or external factors. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the
asset or the cash generating unit. If such recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset
belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction
is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If, at the reporting date there
is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed,
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. Impairment losses previously recognized are accordingly
reversed in the statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.
Financial instruments
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Trade receivables issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial
liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is
initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially
measured at the transaction price.
The financial asset is classified as measured at:
• amortised cost;
• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – equity instrument; or
• fair value through profit and loss (FCTPL)
Subsequent measurement
Debt instruments at amortised cost – A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cost if both the following
conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method.
Equity investments – All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity
instruments which are held for trading are generally classified at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). For
all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The Group makes such election
on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
462De-recognition of financial assets
A financial asset is primarily de-recognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have
expired or the Group has transferred its rights to receive the contractual cash flows from the asset.
Other income - Interest income
Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and rate
applicable. For all debt instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective
interest rate (EIR) method.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through
the expected life of the financial instrument to:
• the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
• the amortised cost of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and transaction cost that is attributable to the
acquisition of the financial liabilities is also adjusted. These liabilities are classified as amortised cost.
Subsequent measurement
These liabilities include borrowings, trade payables, deposits etc. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
De-recognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is de-recognised when the contractual obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled
or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification
is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the
respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are off-set, and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is
a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,
to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss for financial assets.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract
and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. When estimating the cash flows, the Group is required to
consider-
• All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life
of the assets.
• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual
terms.
463The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
• the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions
such as realising security (if any is held); or
• the financial asset is past due.
Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials
assets in FVTPL category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, the Company
recognises 12 month expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date
the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit
losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly
since its initial recognition.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is
no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not
have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the
write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to
comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
Inventories
Inventories comprising of medical consumables are valued at cost and include purchase price and other direct
expenses incurred to bring inventories to its present condition and location. Inventories are measured at the lower
of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average method. Cost
includes purchase price excluding taxes those are subsequently recoverable by the Group from the concerned
authorities, freight inwards and other expenditure incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location.
The carrying cost of medical consumables are appropriately written down when there is a decline in replacement
cost of such materials which are expected to be sold below cost.
Income taxes
Tax expense recognized in statement of profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax except the
ones recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the
best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to
income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in
other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be
utilized against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Group’s forecast of future operating results,
adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or
credit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be
utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
464enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside
profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and
liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments and
item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from regular revenue
generating (operating activities), investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments
(original maturity of three months or less) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Post-employment, long-term and short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. is recognized on the basis
of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee.
Defined contribution plan
The Group’s contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance schemes is charged to the statement of
profit and loss. The Group’s contributions towards Provident Fund are deposited with the Regional Provident
Fund Commissioner under a defined contribution plan.
Defined benefit plan
The Group has gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is
defined by reference to the employee’s length of service and final salary. The liability recognised in the balance
sheet for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date
net of fair value of plan assets, if any. Management estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent
actuaries, by adopting the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from re-measurements
of the liability are included in other comprehensive income.
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group also provides benefit of compensated absences to its employees which are in the nature of long -term
benefit plan. Liability in respect of compensated absences becoming due and expected to be availed more than
one year after the balance sheet date is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method as on the reporting date. Actuarial gains and losses
arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded in the statement of profit
and loss in the year in which such gains or losses arise.
Share based payments
Certain employees of the Group are entitled to remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments, for
rendering services over a defined vesting period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair
value of the instrument at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting
period of the respective tranches of such grants. The stock compensation expense is determined based on the
Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest using fair value in accordance with Ind AS 102,
Share based payments.
465The employee benefits expense is measured using the fair value of the employee stock options and is recognised
over vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The vesting period is the period over which all the
specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.
Business combinations
The Group accounts for its business combinations under acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition related
costs are recognised in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. The acquiree's
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the condition for recognition are recognised at
their fair values at the acquisition date. Purchase consideration paid in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired
is recognised as goodwill. Where the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities exceed the cost of acquisition,
after reassessing the fair values of the net assets and contingent liabilities, the excess is recognised as capital
reserve. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.
The interest of non-controlling shareholders is initially measured either al fair value of the non-controlling
interests' proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying
amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling
interests' share of subsequent changes in equity of subsidiaries.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
business combination occurs, the Group reports in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for
which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Group retrospectively adjusts the
provisional amounts recognised at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the
amounts recognised as of that date.
During the measurement period, the Group also recognises additional assets or liabilities if new information is
obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have resulted
in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date.
The measurement period ends as soon as the Group receives the information it was seeking about facts and
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable but does not
exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, and when a reliable
estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each
reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisions are discounted to their present values,
where the time value of money is material.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
• Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group;
or
• Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed. However, when realization of income is virtually certain,
related asset is recognized.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to chief operating
decision maker (CODM). The Managing Director is the Company CODM within the meaning of Ind AS 108.
466Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for
events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Events after reporting date
Where events occurring after the balance sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the
reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the standalone financial statements. Otherwise,
events after the balance sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date,
which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future
developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control
of the Group.
Recognition of deferred tax assets – The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an
assessment of the probability of the Group’s future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be
utilized. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or
uncertainties.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets: The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment
of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of
recoverable amount of the assets.
Recoverability of advances/receivables: At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed
over expected life, the management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding receivables and advances.
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets: Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of
depreciable/amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in
these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software,
customer relationships, IT equipment and other plant and equipment.
Measurement of Defined benefit obligation (DBO): Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number
of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of
future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual
defined benefit expenses.
Impairment of Goodwill: The Group assesses impairment of goodwill which are recorded at the time of business
combination. At the time when there are any indicators that such investments have suffered a loss, if any, is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The recoverable amount requires estimates of operating margin,
discount rate, future growth, terminal value, etc., based on management’s best estimate.
Loss allowance of trade receivables
In calculating expected credit loss, the Group uses simplified approach for making provision of expected credit
losses on trade receivable using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payment and make appropriate
provision at each reporting date.
467Use of judgements
Following are the critical judgements:
Leases: Ind AS 116 - Leases requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease
adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group
makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is
reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease
term, the Group considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term,
costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Group’s operations
taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term
in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
Income taxes: Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including
judgement on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can
involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. The recognition of taxes that are
subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the
specific facts and circumstances.
Provisions and contingent liabilities: The Group exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions
and the exposures to contingent liabilities related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims subject to
negotiated settlement, mediation, government regulation, as well as other contingent liabilities. Judgement is
necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and to quantify the
possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual
losses may be different from the originally estimated provision. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet
date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that the outflow of resources would
be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

FISCAL 2025 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2024
Total income
Total income increased by 33.96% from ₹ 5,747.22 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 7,699.15 million in Fiscal 2025 on
account of an increase in revenue from operations and other income for reasons indicated below:
470Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations increased by 33.50% from ₹ 5,661.55 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 7,558.12 million in
Fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in income from dialysis and related services by 38.70% from
₹ 5,395.51 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 7,483.44 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of an increase in the number of
treatments at our existing clinics from 2,668,220 treatments in Fiscal 2024 to 3,297,447 treatments in Fiscal 2025,
and an increase in revenue on account of opening and acquisition of new clinics from 436 clinics, as of March 31,
2024, to 490 clinics, as of March 31, 2025. We also witnessed a rise in average realisation per treatment during
the year from ₹ 2,084.54 in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 2,274.62 in Fiscal 2025. The increase in average realisation was
primarily due to price escalations at existing clinics. The growth has also been supported by periodic revisions in
reimbursement rates and an increase in the number of clinics in regions with relatively higher realisations.
Additionally, a mid-year revision in public reimbursement rates in one of our key markets further contributed to
the increase in average realisation per treatment during the year. In addition, the number of patients we served
increased from 28,947 patients in Fiscal 2024 to 33,076 patients in Fiscal 2025.
This was offset by a decrease in other operating income, primarily due to a decrease in the sale of pharmacy by
89.79% from ₹ 166.51 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 17.01 million in Fiscal 2025 owing to the closure of our dialysis
consumables distribution business and a decrease in liabilities no longer required to be written back by 40.56%
from ₹ 93.10 million to ₹ 55.34 million, which comprised overdue payables that were subsequently written back
during Fiscal 2024.
Other income
Other income increased significantly by 64.62% from ₹ 85.67 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 141.03 million in Fiscal
2025, primarily on account of increases in (i) interest income under effective interest method from fixed deposits
by 37.19% from ₹ 83.25 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 114.21 million in Fiscal 2025; (ii) interest on income tax
refund from nil in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 5.34 million in Fiscal 2025; (iii) gain on fair value changes of arbitrage fund
from nil in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 7.55 million in Fiscal 2025; and (iv) others from ₹ 2.42 million in Fiscal 2024 to
₹ 13.93 million in Fiscal 2025.
Expenses
Total expenses increased by 26.02% from ₹ 5,415.61 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 6,824.78 million in Fiscal 2025
primarily on account of an increase in (i) cost of material consumed; (ii) employee benefits expense; (iii)
depreciation, amortization and impairment expense; (iv) finance costs; (v) healthcare professional fees; (vi)
hospital fees; and (vii) other expenses.
Cost of materials consumed
Cost of materials consumed increased by 15.14% from ₹ 1,686.14 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 1,941.40 million in
Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of an increase in the number of treatments and increase in purchases of medical
consumables. Additionally, cost of materials consumed as a percentage of revenue from operations decreased
from 29.78% in Fiscal 2024 to 25.69% in Fiscal 2025, due to improved cost efficiency on account of multiple
strategic initiatives at network level and better procurement power due to increased scaling of our business.
Inventories at the end of the year in Fiscal 2024 was ₹ 259.13 million while inventories at the beginning of the
year was ₹ 262.71 million. Purchases amounted to ₹ 1,682.56 million in Fiscal 2024. In Fiscal 2025, inventories
at the end of the year were ₹ 266.23 million while inventories at the beginning of the year was ₹ 259.13 million.
Purchases amounted to ₹ 1,948.50 million in Fiscal 2025.
Employee benefits expense
Employee benefits expense increased by 34.22% from ₹ 913.91 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 1,226.62 million in
Fiscal 2025 primarily on account of increases in (i) salaries and wages by 29.40% from ₹ 808.95 million in Fiscal
2024 to ₹ 1,046.81 million in Fiscal 2025 which was mainly attributable to increments and an increase in our
number of employees from 2,560 employees as of March 31, 2024 to 3,230 employees as of March 31, 2025 on
account the opening of new clinics during the Fiscal 2025; (ii) contribution to provident fund and other funds by
49.62% from ₹ 35.71 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 53.43 million in Fiscal 2025; (iii) employee stock compensation
expenses from ₹ 18.64 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 63.80 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of new grants of stock
471options to employees; and (iv) staff welfare expenses by 30.73% from ₹ 39.41 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 51.52
million in Fiscal 2025.
Finance costs
Finance costs increased by 3.25% from ₹ 201.79 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 208.34 million in Fiscal 2025
primarily on account of increases in: (i) interest expense on lease liabilities by 28.65% from ₹ 19.16 million in
Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 24.65 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of an increase leases pursuant to opening of in new
clinics; (ii) other borrowing costs by 66.84% from ₹ 11.79 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 19.67 million in Fiscal 2025
on account fees paid for cash credit facility enhancement and annual renewal fees on borrowings; and interest on
delayed payments to MSME vendors from nil in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 2.19 million in Fiscal 2025. These were partially
offset by a decrease in interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost from ₹ 170.84 million
in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 161.83 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of repayments of term loans.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased by 29.15% from ₹ 561.13 million in Fiscal 2024 to
₹ 724.69 million in Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of increases in (i) depreciation on property, plant and
equipment from ₹ 465.73 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 586.11 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of additions to
leasehold improvements and medical equipment during the year; (ii) depreciation of right-of-use assets from
₹ 71.37 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 110.48 million in Fiscal 2025 due to an increase in the number of clinics during
the Fiscal 2025; (iii) amortization of other intangible assets from ₹ 11.75 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 28.10 million
in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to additions to non-compete and customer and nephrologist relations in Fiscal 2025
and full year effect added during Fiscal 2024; and (iv) impairment on intangible assets under development of
₹12.28 million in Fiscal 2024, whereas no such impairment was recorded in Fiscal 2025.
Healthcare professional fees
Healthcare professional fees increased by 52.34% from ₹ 593.19 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 903.64 million in
Fiscal 2025 on account of an increase in the variable pay to our doctors associated with increases in revenue from
our existing clinics and with the engagement of new doctors on account of addition of new clinics and on account
of increase in the number of contractual employees. We had 565 doctors as of March 31, 2025, compared to 532
doctors as of March 31, 2024 and we had 2,270 contractual employees as of March 31, 2025, compared to 1,814
contractual employees as of March 31, 2024.
Hospital fees
Hospital fees increased by 21.12% from ₹ 559.25 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 677.35 million in Fiscal 2025 on
account of an increase in revenue from existing captive clinics and the operationalization of 38 new captive clinics.
Other expenses
Other expenses increased by 26.94% from ₹ 900.20 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 1,142.74 million in Fiscal 2025.
This increase was primarily on account of:
• Legal and professional charges incurred marginally increasing from ₹ 82.40 million in Fiscal 2024 to
₹ 88.16 million in Fiscal 2025 on account of recruitment-related expenses, professional fees for the
implementation of human resources and payroll software, and due diligence costs associated with
acquisition of Philippines entities, namely Rizal Dialysis and Wellness Centre Inc., AIZ Hemo Dialysis
Center Inc., Bioregen Hemo Center Inc., Carmona Dialysis System Inc., Infini Care Health Systems Inc.,
and Kolff Dialysis Inc.
• Rent increasing significantly from ₹ 17.73 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 37.75 million in Fiscal 2025 on
account of increase in rent for additions of new clinics;
• Sales promotion expenses increasing significantly from ₹ 18.75 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 52.97 million
in Fiscal 2025 on account of increase in business development social media retainer services, co-sponsor
events, and team meetings;
• Power and fuel expense increasing from ₹ 120.54 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 157.38 million in Fiscal
2025 on account of an increase in treatments at our existing clinics and due to the additions of new
clinics;
472• Repairs and maintenance expense for equipment and vehicles increasing from ₹ 33.75 million in Fiscal
2024 to ₹ 51.05 million in Fiscal 2025 and others increasing significantly from ₹ 43.39 million in Fiscal
2024 to ₹ 85.51 million in Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of software maintenance, central sterile
services department, and painting works; and
• Miscellaneous expenses increasing significantly from ₹ 18.80 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 59.22 million
in Fiscal 2025.
These increases, however, were offset by decreases in:
• Housekeeping and security charges from ₹ 97.85 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 72.97 million in Fiscal 2025;
• Allowance for expected credit loss from ₹ 113.89 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 77.95 million in Fiscal 2025
on account of receipt of payments from customers; and
• Foreign exchange fluctuation loss, net from ₹ 28.20 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 10.10 million in Fiscal
2025.

For the reasons discussed above, profit before tax was ₹ 874.37 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to profit before
tax of ₹ 331.61 million in Fiscal 2024.
Profit for the Year
For the reasons discussed above, profit for the year was ₹ 670.96 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to profit for the

FISCAL 2024 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2023
Total income
Total income increased by 29.66% from ₹ 4,432.59 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 5,747.22 million in Fiscal 2024 on
account of an increase in revenue from operations and other income for reasons indicated below:
Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations increased by 29.47% from ₹ 4,372.95 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 5,661.55 million in
Fiscal 2024 primarily on account of an increase in income from dialysis and related services by 30.16% from
₹ 4,145.25 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 5,395.51 million in Fiscal 2024 on account of a combination of acquisitions
and setting up of clinics along with an increase in patients’ volume during Fiscal 2024. Our total clinics increased
from 316 clinics, as of March 31, 2023 to 436 clinics, as of March 31, 2024, while the number of patients served
increased from 22,995 in Fiscal 2023 to 29,368 in Fiscal 2024. The number of treatments we conducted increased
from 2,286,631 treatments in Fiscal 2023 to 2,668,220 treatments in Fiscal 2024. In addition, the revenue from
dialysis increased due to the rise in average realisation per treatment during the year from ₹ 1,912.40 in Fiscal
2023 to ₹ 2,084.54 in Fiscal 2024. The increase in average realisation was primarily due to price escalations at
existing clinics. The growth has also been supported by periodic revisions in reimbursement rates and an increase
in the number of clinics in regions with relatively higher realisations. Additionally, a mid-year revision in public
reimbursement rates in one of our key markets further contributed to the increase in average realisation per
treatment during the year.
This was offset by a decrease in other operating income primarily on account of a decrease in sale of pharmacy
and consumables by 26.87% from ₹ 227.70 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 166.51 million in Fiscal 2024 owing to the
phasing out of our business in dialysis consumables distribution due to lower margins.
Other income
Other income increased by 43.65% from ₹ 59.64 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 85.67 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily
on account of an increase in interest income under effective interest method from fixed deposits by 97.16% from
₹ 42.24 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 83.25 million in Fiscal 2024.
473Expenses
Total expenses increased by 19.85% from ₹ 4,518.50 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 5,415.61 million in Fiscal 2024
primarily on account of an increase in (i) cost of material consumed; (ii) depreciation, amortization and
impairment expense; (iii) finance costs; (iv) healthcare professional fees; (v) hospital fees; and (vi) other expenses.
Cost of materials consumed
Cost of materials consumed increased by 18.31% from ₹ 1,425.13 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 1,686.14 million in
Fiscal 2024, primarily on account of an increase in the number of treatments and increase in purchases of medical
consumables.
Inventories at the end of the year in Fiscal 2023 was ₹ 262.71 million while inventories at the beginning of the
year was ₹ 145.84 million. Purchases amounted to ₹ 1,542.00 million in Fiscal 2023. In Fiscal 2024, inventories
at the end of the year were ₹ 259.13 million while inventories at the beginning of the year was ₹ 262.71 million.

Employee benefits expense
Employee benefits expense decreased by 5.48% from ₹ 966.90 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 913.91 million in Fiscal
2024, primarily on account of decreases in (i) salaries and wages by 6.49% from ₹ 865.14 million in Fiscal 2023
to ₹ 808.95 million in Fiscal 2024 on account of a decrease in permanent employees at clinic level with part-time
and/or contract employees reducing employee costs; (ii) contribution to provident fund and other funds by 16.00%
from ₹ 42.51 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 35.71 million in Fiscal 2024; and (iii) employee stock compensation
expenses by 10.67% from ₹ 20.87 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 18.64 million in Fiscal 2024.
This was offset by an increase in (i) gratuity and compensated absence expense by 51.45% from ₹ 7.40 million in
Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 11.20 million in Fiscal 2024; and (ii) staff welfare expenses by 27.21% from ₹ 30.98 million in
Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 39.41 million in Fiscal 2024.
Finance costs
Finance costs increased by 24.02% from ₹ 162.71 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 201.79 million in Fiscal 2024,
primarily on account of increases in: (i) Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost by
29.18% from ₹ 132.25 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 170.84 million in Fiscal 2024 on account of increased
borrowings for term loan taken for the purchase of medical equipment; and (ii) interest expense on lease liabilities
by 40.78% from ₹ 13.61 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 19.16 million in Fiscal 2024 on account of an increase in
leases in light of addition of new or acquired clinics. This was offset by a decrease in other borrowing costs by
30.03% from ₹ 16.85 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 11.79 million in Fiscal 2024.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased by 19.70% from ₹ 468.79 million in Fiscal 2023 to
₹ 561.13 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily on account of (i) depreciation on property, plant and equipment from
₹ 401.32 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 465.73 million in Fiscal 2024 due to additions to buildings and medical
equipment during the year; (ii) depreciation of right-of-use assets from ₹ 62.96 million in Fiscal 2023 to
₹ 71.37 million in Fiscal 2024 due to the addition to buildings constituting right-of-use assets in Fiscal 2025; (iii)
amortization of other intangible assets from ₹ 4.51 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 11.75 million in Fiscal 2024; and
(iv) impairment on intangible assets under development from nil in Fiscal 2023 to ₹12.28 million in Fiscal 2024.
Healthcare professional fees
Healthcare professional fees increased by 91.05% from ₹ 310.50 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 593.19 million in
Fiscal 2024 on account of an increase in the variable pay of our doctors associated with increase in our revenue
in existing clinics and with the engagement of new doctors on account of addition of new clinics and on account
of increase in the number of contractual employees. We had 532 doctors as of March 31, 2024, compared to 461
doctors as of March 31, 2023 and we had 1,814 contractual employees as of March 31, 2024, compared to 1,425
contractual employees as of March 31, 2023.
474Hospital fees
Hospital fees increased by 16.87% from ₹ 478.52 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 559.25 million in Fiscal 2024 on
account of the addition of 28 captive clinics during the year and a higher payout share to hospitals in line with the
proportionate increase in revenue.
Other expenses
Other expenses increased by 27.52% from ₹ 705.95 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 900.20 million in Fiscal 2024.
This increase was primarily on account of an increase in:

2024;
• Travel and conveyance from ₹ 101.12 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 133.15 million in Fiscal 2024 on

account of an increase in operations at existing clinics as well as additions of new or acquired clinics;
and
• Housekeeping and security charges from ₹ 73.50 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 97.85 million in Fiscal 2024
on account of an increase in cost associated with clinics set up or acquired during the year.
These increases, however, were offset by a decrease in miscellaneous expenses from ₹ 64.03 million in Fiscal
2023 to ₹ 18.80 million in Fiscal 2024.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial
instruments affected by market risk mainly includes borrowings. We are not significantly impacted by currency
risks.
478Interest Rate Risk
Our borrowings carried at amortised cost are either variable rate instruments or fixed rate instruments. The fixed
rate instruments are not subject to fluctuation because of a change in market interest rates. We consider the impact
of fair value changes on account of interest rate changes as not material.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to our Company, leading to a financial
loss. We are mainly exposed to the risk of its balances with the bankers and trade and other receivables. None of
our cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans and security deposits were past due or impaired as at March 31,
2024 and March 31, 2023. As per simplified approach, we make provision of expected credit losses on trade
receivable using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payment and make appropriate provision at each
reporting date.
Liquidity Risk
Our Management maintains sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Due to the nature of the business,
we maintain flexibility in funding by having committed facilities.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of our liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of
expected cash flows. We take into account the liquidity of the market in which we operate. In addition, our
liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid
assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory
requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

(e) Material civil litigation by our Company
1. (a) Our Company initiated an arbitration proceeding on September 4, 2019 under Section 9 of the
Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Arbitration Proceeding”) against Nayati Healthcare and
Research Private Limited (“Respondent 1”) and Narayani Investment Private Limited (“Respondent
2”, and together with Respondent 1, the “Respondents”) before the Hon’ble Retd. Mr. Justice Kailash
Gambhir, sole arbitrator at New Delhi. Our Company and the Respondents had entered into a Master
Medical Services Agreement dated August 24, 2018 (“MSA”) pursuant to which our Company had
agreed to provide dialysis services in the hospitals owned by Respondent 1. However, the Respondents
terminated the MSA on August 8, 2019 on the grounds that a patient had passed away on account of
alleged negligent act by the Company, and did not allow the Company to recover the assets such as
dialysis machines which it had purchased from Respondent 1. Further, our Company claimed that the
Respondents had not fulfilled their revenue sharing obligations under the MSA. Accordingly, our
Company initiated arbitration proceedings against the Respondents pursuant to the arbitration clause in
Clause 16 of the MSA, challenging the termination of the agreement on the grounds that it was illegal,
without cause and there was no negligent act by the Company. Further, the Company inter alia sought
an award of ₹11.02 million for recovery of revenue sharing obligations incurred during the term of the
MSA, along with ₹228.92 million for loss of future revenue sharing due to termination of the MSA, and
interest and damages of ₹50 million. Pursuant to the Insolvency Proceedings (as defined below),
Respondent 1 has been admitted into corporate insolvency resolution process. Accordingly, the arbitrator
pursuant to an order dated January 11, 2024, has adjourned the Arbitration Proceeding sine die on account
of imposition of moratorium under Section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“IBC”).
(b) Our Company issued a demand notice dated August 20, 2019 against Respondent 1 under Section 8
of the IBC, for recovery of ₹11.17 million due towards revenue sharing obligations under the MSA,
along with interest (“Insolvency Proceedings”). Subsequently, our Company submitted a claim for
₹289.95 million under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for
Corporate Persons) Regulation, 2016, pursuant to which Respondent 1 was admitted into the corporate
insolvency resolution process and an interim resolution professional (“IRP”) was appointed pursuant to
the order dated December 22, 2023 of the National Company Law Tribunal, Chandigarh (“NCLT
Chandigarh”). The IRP by e-mails dated January 21, 2024 and January 22, 2024 rejected the Company’s
claim on the ground that the amount sought to be recovered did not qualify as an operational debt under
the IBC. Our Company filed an interlocutory application dated March 31, 2024 before the NCLT
Chandigarh seeking, inter alia, (i) admission of the Company’s claim by the IRP; (ii) continuation of the

application dated November 21, 2021 under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996

issued that may be issued by our Company, the total investment made by the FPI will be re-classified as FDI

Regulations; and

derivative instruments are to be transferred are pre-approved by the FPI.
The FPIs who wish to participate in the Offer are advised to use the Bid cum Application Form for non-residents.
It should be noted that multiple Bids received from FPIs, who do not utilize the MIM structure, and bear the same
PAN, are liable to be rejected. In order to ensure valid Bids, FPIs making multiple Bids using the same PAN, and
with different beneficiary account numbers, Client IDs and DP IDs, are required to provide a confirmation in the
Bid cum Application Forms that the relevant FPIs making multiple Bids utilize the MIM Structure. In the absence
of such confirmation from the relevant FPIs, such multiple Bids shall be rejected.
Further, in the following cases, Bids by FPIs shall not be treated as multiple Bids:
• FPIs which utilise the MIM structure, indicating the name of their respective investment managers in
such confirmation;

distributed to the Applicant FPIs (with same PAN). In order to ensure valid Bids, FPIs making multiple Bids using
the same PAN, and with different beneficiary account numbers, Client IDs and DP IDs, are required to provide a
confirmation along with each of their Bid cum Application Forms that the relevant FPIs making multiple Bids
utilize any of the above-mentioned structures and indicate the name of their respective investment managers in
such confirmation. In the absence of such confirmation from the relevant FPIs, such multiple Bids shall be
rejected.
Please note that in terms of the General Information Document, the maximum Bid by any Bidder including QIB

542RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India
and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign
investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which
such investment may be made. Foreign investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian
companies, either through the automatic route or the approval route, depending upon the sector in which foreign
investment is sought to be made. The Government of India makes policy announcements on FDI through press
notes and press releases. The regulatory framework, over a period of time, thus, consists of acts, regulations, press
notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The DPIIT (formerly Department of Industrial
Policy & Promotion) issued the Consolidated FDI Policy Circular dated October 15, 2020, with effect from
October 15, 2020 (the “FDI Policy”), which consolidates and supersedes all previous press note, press releases
and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020.
In terms of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020 (“Press Note”), issued by the DPIIT, the FDI Policy and
the FEMA Non-Debt Instruments Rules have been amended to state that all investments under the foreign direct
investment route by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an
investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior approval of the Government
of India. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an
entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/
purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of
India. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020,
a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country
nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India. Each
Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior
approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate
our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof within the
Bid/ Offer Period.
Transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI,
provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the Consolidated FDI
Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident
shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance
with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Offer Procedure – Bids
by Eligible Non-resident Indians” and “Offer Procedure – Bids by Foreign Portfolio Investors” on pages 529
and 530, respectively.
As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Offer.
The Equity Shares offered in the Offer have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or
any state securities laws in the United States, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold within the United
States, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the U.S. Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable U.S. state securities laws. Accordingly, the Equity
Shares are being offered and sold only outside the United States in ‘offshore transactions’ in compliance with
Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable laws of the jurisdictions where such offers and sales
are made. The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other
jurisdiction outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such
jurisdiction, except in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
