The listing is expected to provide fresh capital for future expansion while also offering partial exits to existing investors participating in the offer for sale.
Manipal Hospitals is reportedly preparing to launch its $1 Bn initial public offering (IPO) as early as July, aiming for a valuation of around $10 billion.
The listing, backed by Singapore's Temasek Holdings, is expected to be among India's largest healthcare IPOs and could become the country's first billion-dollar public issue of 2026.
Manipal Hospitals has completed investor roadshows ahead of its proposed $1 Bn IPO; however, the timeline and issue size remain subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals.
The Bengaluru-headquartered hospital network submitted its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in March.
According to the filing, the IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares worth about INR 8,000 Cr alongside an offer for sale of up to 43.23 million equity shares, representing nearly 3.66% of the company's equity, by existing shareholders.
Manipal Hospitals has grown into one of India's largest private healthcare providers through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. Over the past few years, the company has strengthened its national footprint by acquiring several hospital assets, including Columbia Asia Hospitals in India and, more recently, a majority stake in Sahyadri Hospitals.
These transactions have significantly expanded its presence across key metropolitan and regional markets while increasing its bed capacity and speciality care network.
The listing is expected to provide fresh capital for future expansion while also offering partial exits to existing investors participating in the offer for sale.
While the IPO is set to launch in July, Manipal Hospitals has not officially announced the timeline, and the final size and valuation may change before the issue opens.
