Meaning of Relationship
Issuer means the hospital is directly operated under the IPO company. Subsidiary
means the hospital is operated through a subsidiary company. Controlled entity means the company
controls operations, but the ownership or structure may be different from direct ownership.
IPORupee View
The company is not dependent on one hospital only. It has built a regional hospital platform across multiple cities.
However, retail investors should understand the legal and operating structure because ownership, consolidation and
control arrangements can affect financial reporting and future profitability.
Important Note on Bed Capacity Difference
The company’s overview and operational tables show different bed capacity figures, likely due to reporting basis,
consolidation or acquisition inclusion. This should be read carefully from the RHP before making any investment view.

IPORupee View: For a hospital IPO, bed capacity is one of the most important operating metrics.
Investors should check whether the number includes recently acquired hospitals, proforma consolidation or proposed
acquisitions. A higher bed count is useful only when occupancy, revenue per occupied bed and doctor availability also
improve.
Business Model
Gujarat Kidney and Super Speciality Limited earns revenue mainly through hospital-based healthcare services. Its revenue
comes from in-patient treatment, out-patient consultations, surgeries, ICU and critical care, diagnostics, pharmacy services,
specialty and super-specialty services, government scheme patients, walk-in patients and individually insured patients.
Secondary Care Services
Secondary services include surgical and general hospital services such as general surgery, laparoscopic surgery,
orthopaedics, gynaecology and other hospital-based treatments.
Tertiary Care Services
Tertiary services include super-speciality services such as urology, nephrology, renal transplant, cardiology,
neurology, neurosurgery, oncology and advanced procedures.

Key Medical Positioning
Renal Sciences and Urology
The company has a strong focus on kidney care, nephrology, urology and renal transplant. Gujarat Kidney Hospital
is authorised to perform renal transplants and has conducted 31 renal transplants till date.
Interventional Cardiology
The company provides interventional cardiac procedures such as angiography and implantation of cardiac assist
devices. Vadodara and Godhra locations support emergency response advantages.
Neuroscience
The company offers treatment for stroke, brain haemorrhage, spinal disorders, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, trauma,
brain tumours and minimally invasive neuro-spine procedures.
Gastroenterology
The hospital network provides gastroenterology services covering the digestive system, liver, pancreas, gallbladder
and bile ducts, along with procedures such as endoscopy, ERCP and colonoscopy.
Oncology
The company offers cancer-related services, including medical oncology and surgical oncology. Oncology can be a
long-term demand area, but it requires strong clinical capability and patient trust.
IPORupee View
The company has a broad service mix, but its strongest brand identity appears to be renal sciences and urology.
This speciality-led positioning can help create local patient recall and referral strength.
Urology Sub-Specialities and Procedure Volumes
The company has established urology sub-specialities such as endourology, urologic oncology, pediatric urology,
reconstructive urology, renal transplant and laparoscopic urology.

IPORupee View: Endourology is the largest procedure category and shows the company’s depth in
urology-led procedures. Renal transplant numbers are lower and fluctuate, so investors should not treat transplant
as the main volume driver. The broader renal and urology ecosystem is more important.

IPD, OPD, Occupancy and Revenue Quality
IPD Revenue
IPD means In-Patient Department. These are patients admitted for surgery, ICU treatment, procedures or longer
observation. IPD usually generates higher revenue because it includes room charges, surgery, nursing, diagnostics,
ICU care and medicines.
OPD Revenue
OPD means Out-Patient Department. OPD patients visit for consultation, diagnosis, follow-up or minor treatment
without admission. OPD is important because it can become the entry point for future admissions and surgeries.
Occupancy Insight
Average bed occupancy remained stable but moderate, around 54% to 56%. This means there is room to improve
utilisation. If occupancy improves without a proportionate rise in fixed costs, operating leverage can improve.
Revenue per Bed Insight
Average revenue per occupied bed improved from Rs. 9,304.77 in FY2023 to Rs. 10,255.39 in FY2025 and
Rs. 11,243.06 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, showing better revenue intensity per occupied bed.
Patient Source and Revenue Quality
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, 94.54% of revenue from operations came from individually insured patients
and walk-in patients. For FY2025, 90.00% of revenue from operations came from individually insured patients and
walk-in patients.
IPORupee View: This is a positive signal because it shows local patient trust and reduces dependence
on one single government scheme, corporate account or institutional tie-up. However, insured patient revenue still
depends on claim approval, documentation, pricing agreements and settlement timelines.
Government Schemes, PSU and Corporate Patients
The company also serves patients under Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, public sector undertakings
and private companies. These channels can support patient volume, especially in regional healthcare markets.
IPORupee View: Government scheme and institutional patients can increase volume, but reimbursement
rates, claim approvals and payment cycles should be monitored because they can affect cash flows.
Restated Consolidated Financial Information
Restated consolidated financials reflect the company’s restated reporting basis. These numbers should not be mixed
casually with the proforma numbers because the company has expanded through acquisitions.

Unaudited Proforma Consolidated Financial Information
The proforma numbers present a broader view of the enlarged hospital network after considering acquisitions and

Restated vs Proforma: Important for Retail Investors
The restated consolidated FY2025 revenue from operations is Rs. 4,024.21 lakhs, while the unaudited proforma
consolidated FY2025 revenue from operations is Rs. 11,997.46 lakhs. This difference is large because the company
has grown through acquisitions and proforma numbers present a broader view of the enlarged network.
Investors should not mix both numbers casually. Proforma numbers help understand the larger hospital network,
but restated consolidated financials are important for legal and accounting comparison.
Acquisition-Led Growth
The company has expanded through acquisition and operational control of hospitals. Acquisition-led growth can provide
faster access to hospital infrastructure, beds, doctors and local patient base, but it also creates integration risk.
Ashwini Medical Centre
The company acquired the hospital situated at Ashwini Medical Centre, Anand, on a slump sale basis. The sale deed
for transfer of assets was entered on March 15, 2025. Approval is awaited to change the hospital name to Gujarat
Kidney and Superspeciality Hospital, Anand.
Harmony Medicare Private Limited
The company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated October 3, 2025 with shareholders of Harmony Medicare
Private Limited to acquire 100% equity share capital. It has completed acquisition of 51% equity shares.
Parekhs Hospital Acquisition
The company is in the process of acquiring Parekhs Hospital at Ahmedabad. Parekhs Hospital was commissioned in
2006 and had 49 beds, including 8 ICU beds, as of February 28, 2025.
IPORupee View: Acquiring running hospitals can support faster expansion compared with building
hospitals from scratch. But integration is critical. The company must retain doctors, align systems, maintain licenses,
improve service quality, control costs and protect patient trust.
Management and Hospital Operating Structure
The company manages each hospital through a separate professional management team. Each hospital is managed by a Chief
Operating Officer who supervises day-to-day functioning.
IPORupee View: This structure can help maintain operating control across multiple hospitals.
For a hospital chain, hospital-level management is important because every hospital has daily operational needs such as
patient admission, surgery scheduling, doctor coordination, billing, pharmacy, diagnostics, nursing, emergency care
and compliance.

Doctor and Consultant Dependency
For a hospital company, doctors and consultants are the real business strength. Beds alone do not create revenue.
Patient inflow, surgeries and reputation depend heavily on doctors, nurses, medical staff, equipment and patient trust.
Doctor count declined from 106 in FY2023/FY2024 to 91 in FY2025 and 89 as of June 30, 2025. This should be monitored,
although the company also has visiting consultants and full-time consultants on proforma basis.
Industry Opportunity
The hospital sector is the core part of the Indian healthcare industry. The Indian hospital industry increased from
approximately INR 2,400 billion in FY2016 to INR 5,800 billion in FY2023. It was estimated to have risen by 12% in
FY2024 to approximately INR 6,496 billion.
Demand Drivers
- Increase in lifestyle diseases
- Rise in non-communicable diseases
- Growing elderly population
- Higher health insurance penetration
Regional Healthcare Opportunity
- Demand for quality healthcare outside metros
- Patients prefer treatment closer to home
- Regional cities need multispeciality hospital capacity
- Super-speciality care is expanding beyond large metros
IPORupee View
Gujarat Kidney and Super Speciality Limited is positioned in the regional healthcare growth theme. Its presence
in central Gujarat can be useful because many patients prefer quality healthcare closer to home.
Competitive Strengths
Renal Sciences Focus
The company has a strong identity in kidney care, urology, nephrology and renal sciences.
Regional Gujarat Presence
The company operates in multiple cities of Gujarat, giving local market understanding and patient reach.
Multispeciality Services
The company offers both secondary and tertiary care services under one network.
Walk-in Patient Trust
High revenue from walk-in and individually insured patients indicates local trust and brand recall.
Improving Proforma Financials
Revenue, EBITDA and PAT improved over FY2023 to FY2025 on a proforma consolidated basis.
Moderate Leverage
Proforma debt-to-equity improved from 0.73 times in FY2023 to 0.22 times in FY2025.
Key Risks and Watch Points
- Regional concentration risk: The company is concentrated in Gujarat.
- Doctor dependency: Hospitals depend heavily on doctors, consultants, nurses and clinical staff.
- Acquisition integration risk: Acquired hospitals must be integrated into systems, brand, billing, licenses and quality standards.
- Moderate occupancy: Average occupancy is around 54% to 56%, showing headroom but also underutilised capacity.
- Financial comparison risk: Restated and proforma financials are very different and should not be mixed casually.
- Insurance and scheme payment risk: Claims and reimbursements may involve delays, deductions and documentation risk.
- Regulatory and clinical quality risk: Hospitals must maintain licenses, patient safety, infection control and clinical standards.
- Competition risk: The company competes with local hospitals, specialist clinics, large hospital chains and super-speciality centres.
- Reputation risk: Any adverse medical event or patient dissatisfaction can affect patient trust.
IPORupee Overview
Gujarat Kidney and Super Speciality Limited is a regional multispeciality hospital chain with a clear focus on
renal sciences, urology and super-speciality healthcare services in Gujarat. The company has expanded from one
hospital into a hospital network through acquisitions and operational control.
Its strengths include speciality-led positioning, regional healthcare presence, improving proforma financial performance,
moderate leverage, walk-in patient trust and acquisition-led expansion. At the same time, the company should be
analysed carefully because hospital businesses depend heavily on occupancy, doctor availability, clinical quality,
reputation and integration of acquired facilities.
IPORupee Detailed Insight
1. Regional Healthcare Platform
This is not a national hospital chain. It is a regional healthcare platform focused on Gujarat. Growth depends on
execution in existing cities, patient inflow, doctor retention, acquisition integration and expansion into new Gujarat markets.
2. Kidney and Urology Positioning
The company’s biggest speciality identity is kidney care and urology. Specialty-led hospitals often build stronger
patient recall than generic hospitals, especially in regional markets.
3. Occupancy Has Room to Improve
The company has 389 operational beds as of June 30, 2025, but average occupancy is around 54% to 56%. If occupancy
improves, operating leverage may improve. But occupancy improvement depends on doctors, service quality and local competition.
4. Revenue per Bed is Improving
Average revenue per occupied bed increased from Rs. 9,304.77 in FY2023 to Rs. 10,255.39 in FY2025 and
Rs. 11,243.06 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, indicating better revenue intensity.
5. Financials Need Careful Reading
Restated consolidated FY2025 revenue is Rs. 4,024.21 lakhs, while proforma FY2025 revenue is Rs. 11,997.46 lakhs.
This difference is mainly due to acquisitions and enlarged network presentation.
6. Acquisition Strategy: Growth and Risk
Acquisition can expand the network faster, but success depends on retaining doctors, improving systems, maintaining
service quality and integrating operations without hurting margins.
7. Walk-in Revenue is a Positive Signal
A high share of revenue from walk-in and individually insured patients suggests local patient trust and reduces
dependence on one government scheme or one corporate client.
8. Doctors are the Biggest Intangible Asset
In hospital businesses, doctors and consultants drive patient inflow, surgery volumes and reputation. The company’s
ability to attract and retain doctors will directly affect future performance.
Simple Interpretation for Retail Investors
Gujarat Kidney and Super Speciality Limited should be analysed as a regional hospital chain with a speciality-led
healthcare model. The company has a clear focus on renal sciences and urology, and it is expanding through acquisitions.
Retail investors should not look only at the healthcare theme. They should check the company’s actual occupancy,
revenue per occupied bed, doctor strength, acquisition integration, difference between restated and proforma financials,
profitability, debt level and IPO valuation.
