Manipal Hospitals repays Rs 5,310 crore debt from IPO funds
The healthcare major said, “The redemption was undertaken using the relevant portion of the IPO proceeds, in accordance with the objects of the Initial Public Offering disclosed in the Prospectus dated July 31, 2026.”
Manipal Health Enterprises Limited has successfully repaid its outstanding non-convertible debentures (NCDs) worth ₹5,310 crore using proceeds from its recent initial public offering (IPO). The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Manipal Hospitals Private Limited, issued the NCDs. This debt repayment, disclosed in the prospectus dated July 31, 2026, is a significant milestone in the company's post-listing financial strategy.
The move aims to bolster its balance sheet, decrease the interest burden, and provide more financial flexibility for future growth. Manipal Health's CFO, Sameer Agarwal, highlighted that deploying IPO proceeds towards debt repayment is crucial for strengthening the company's financial position. The IPO, which took place on August 5, 2026, raised funds to repay debt accumulated from acquisitions such as Columbia Asia and Sahyadri Hospitals.
The company operates the largest private healthcare network in India, with a bed capacity of 13,140 across its facilities. In Q1, Manipal Health reported a 38.1% year-on-year increase in revenue to ₹3,091 crore, EBITDA growth of 26.4% to ₹749 crore, and a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹243 crore.
