Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Paras Healthcare IPO is a Rs 1,450 crore issue, made up of a fresh issue of Rs 500 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 950 crore, open from 21 Oct to 23 Oct 2026 at a price band of Rs 660 to Rs 693. Occupancy rose from 50.78% in FY25 to 61.75% in FY26, revenue grew about 24.1% to Rs 1,605.95 crore (my calculation) and profit after tax turned positive at Rs 43.83 crore after a loss of Rs 57.98 crore. The main risks are high staff attrition of 60.38% in FY26, contingent liabilities of Rs 398.44 crore and secured borrowings of Rs 990.33 crore at 31 Aug 2026. Allotment is on 26 Oct and listing is proposed for 28 Oct 2026 on BSE and NSE.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Paras Healthcare IPO comes from a hospital chain with 8 hospitals, 2,211 beds, 1,084 doctors and 1,937 nurses, of which 7 of the 8 hospitals are NABH accredited. The issue is mostly an offer for sale, which means about 65.5% of the issue size goes to selling shareholders and not to the company (my calculation), while the fresh issue is meant mainly to cut debt.<\/p>\n
