Hyderabad-based NephroPlus, Asia’s largest dialysis service provider and the fifth-largest globally in terms of treatments performed in Fiscal 2025, is set to launch its highly anticipated IPO this week. The subscription window will open on Wednesday, December 10 and close on Friday, December 12, marking one of the most significant healthcare IPOs of the fiscal year.
With a strong domestic and international presence, advanced dialysis capabilities, and growing demand in the renal care space, NephroPlus has positioned itself as a frontrunner in India’s rapidly expanding healthcare services sector.
IPO Price Band and Discounts
The company has fixed its price band at ₹438 to ₹460 per Equity Share, offering flexibility to investors. A special discount of ₹41 per Equity Share will be available to eligible employees, making the IPO especially attractive for internal stakeholders.
Issue Size and Structure
The NephroPlus IPO consists of:
- Fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹353.4 crore
- Offer for sale (OFS) of up to 1,12,53,102 equity shares by existing shareholders
The blended structure indicates that the IPO will not only provide an exit route to current shareholders but also enable the company to fund strategic expansion.
Utilization of IPO Proceeds
NephroPlus plans to utilize the proceeds from the fresh issue for key growth objectives, including:
- ₹129.1 crore to open new dialysis clinics across India
- ₹136 crore to pre-pay or repay borrowings
The focus on both expansion and debt reduction reflects a strong strategy toward financial resilience and market penetration.
Company Overview: From India to Global Scale
Founded in 2009, NephroPlus today stands as India’s largest organized dialysis network, revolutionizing renal care through accessibility, affordability, and advanced dialysis solutions.
Key operational highlights:
- Pan-India presence: 288 cities across 21 States and 4 Union Territories
- Global footprint: 519 dialysis clinics
- International operations: 51 clinics in Uzbekistan, Nepal, and the Philippines
- Largest dialysis clinic globally: The 165-bedded facility in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
NephroPlus runs a scalable and replicable clinical model, enabling smooth expansion across geographies while ensuring high clinical quality standards.
Technology-Driven Dialysis Care
The company offers multiple advanced dialysis formats to address diverse patient needs, including:
- Hemodialysis
- Home hemodialysis
- Hemodiafiltration
- Dialysis on call
- Dialysis on wheels
- Holiday dialysis
This wide spectrum of services ensures that patients — even those who are traveling, immobile, or living in remote areas — get access to treatment. The company’s mobile and home-based solutions provide convenience while dramatically improving patient quality of life.
Dialysis Market Outlook: High-Growth Sector Ahead
The Indian dialysis service market continues to expand due to rising chronic kidney disease cases, lifestyle-driven renal disorders, and a growing elderly population.
- Market size in Fiscal 2024: USD 818 million
- Projected market size by 2029: USD 1,979 million
This represents an impressive growth trajectory, reflecting increasing demand and unmet service needs — areas where NephroPlus has demonstrated consistent strength.
As the largest organized player, NephroPlus is well-positioned to capitalize on this rising demand, both through organic expansion and partnerships with hospitals and health systems.
Competitive Strengths Supporting the IPO

- Participation in India’s rising chronic care demand
- Expansion in both Indian and global markets
Given its scale and efficiency, NephroPlus may attract not only retail investors but also institutional interest.
Risks to Consider
Like any healthcare IPO, NephroPlus is not without risks:
- Regulatory changes in healthcare policies
- High operating costs in clinical infrastructure
- Dependence on patient volume consistency
- Competition from public and private health providers
However, the company’s leadership position significantly mitigates these risks.
Final Takeaway
