Business

Founded in 2007, Jupiter Life Line Hospitals is a multispecialty tertiary and quaternary healthcare provider in western India.

It currently operates three hospitals under the Jupiter brand in Thane, Pune and Indore. The company has a total operational bed capacity of 1,194 beds and 1,246 doctors—including specialists, physicians and surgeons as of March 31.

The business is currently building a multispecialty hospital in Dombivli, Maharashtra, with around 500 beds. The construction commenced in April.

In fiscal 2023, the company's in-patient and out-patient income was distributed among hospitals, with Thane, Pune and Indore hospitals accounting for 54%, 34% and 12% of revenue from operations respectively.

Use Of Proceeds

The funds that will be raised will be employed for the following purposes:

  • Repayment/prepayment, in full or part, of borrowings availed from banks by the company and material subsidiary: Estimated Rs 463.9 crore.

  • General corporate purposes.

Risk Factors

  • The company's revenue is significantly dependent on its hospital in Thane. The hospital was responsible for 54% of the company's revenue in the last financial year.

  • The company's industry is highly regulated and requires renewal and maintenance of regulatory permits, accreditations and licences. Any regulatory changes or violations may adversely affect the business.

  • The business incurs high expenses in relation to medical equipment and infrastructure maintenance. Inability to obtain favourable pricing from suppliers or negotiate compensation for healthcare professionals could affect profitability.

  • The company's ability to provide affordable healthcare depends on the volume of patients, occupancy rates and managing project costs.

  • Inability to maintain optimum levels of doctor-patient ratio has an impact on operations.
