Manipal Health Enterprises has moved closer to its stock market debut. The company has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus with Securities and Exchange Board of India for the Manipal Health IPO.
The company plans to raise Rs. 8,000 crore through a fresh issue of shares. Along with this, some existing investors and promoters will sell their shares. The offer-for-sale includes more than 4.32 crore equity shares. Promoters like Imperius Healthcare Investments and Manipal Education and Medical Group India will reduce their stake. Investors such as TPG and Novo Holdings will also take part.
The company may also bring in up to Rs. 1,600 crore before the IPO. This step can reduce the size of the fresh issue. The share sale has been divided into three parts. Half of the issue is for big institutional investors. Retail investors will get 35%. The remaining 15% is set aside for other investors.
The company has clear plans for using the money. A large part, about Rs. 5,378 crore, will go toward paying back loans taken by Manipal Hospitals. Around Rs. 574 crore will help buy a stake in Sahyadri Hospitals. The rest of the money will support daily needs and future plans.
Manipal Health Enterprises runs a wide network of hospitals across India. It has 38 hospitals in 14 states and union territories. The group has more than 10,700 beds for patients.
The company has seen strong growth in recent years. It treated 7.19 million patients in FY25. In the first half of the year ending September 2025, it treated 3.94 million patients. The company earned Rs. 8,242.2 crore in revenue. Its profit stood at Rs. 1,081.6 crore.
The Manipal Health IPO comes at a time when the healthcare sector is growing fast. More people now look for better hospital services. The company plans to expand into smaller cities to reach more patients.
Many well-known firms will manage the IPO. These include Kotak Mahindra Capital, Axis Capital, Goldman Sachs India, JP Morgan India, UBS Securities India, Jefferies India, and DBS Bank India.
The hospital sector already has strong players like Apollo Hospitals and Fortis Healthcare. Still, Manipal Health plans to grow with better services and a wider reach.
The Manipal Health IPO shows a simple goal. The company wants to reduce its debt and grow its hospital network. The IPO is likely to attract strong interest in the market.
