OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS:
As we report today, more than three decades since our steadfast commitment to our mission - to bring Complete Healthcare of excellent standards in an affordable manner to all Citizens.
Today, our small but comprehensive setup includes Doctor Clinics, Outpatient Services, Diagnostic Laboratory and other Diagnostic Services, an Indoor Facility with wards and ICU, Surgical Infrastructure, Dialysis Services, Special Clinics like Infertility, Retail Pharmacys, Home Care Services, and an Adult Vaccination Unit. Initiatives like ours, were among the early contributors to the emergence of Indias private healthcare sector, which now serves over 70% of the nations medical needs.
Indias healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological innovation, increased insurance penetration, digitisation of patient data, regulatory reforms, and evolving patient expectations. Kolkata has recently witnessed significant consolidation, in form of major hospital chains changing ownership?indicative of shifting dynamics in regional healthcare delivery.
Looking ahead, we foresee several important sectoral developments:
Greater adoption of digital health technologies and Al in diagnostics and treatment planning
Expansion of insurance coverage and cashless treatment networks
Increased emphasis on value-based and home-based care models
We are proactively aligning our internal systems and service architecture to embrace these changes. Our organisation stands ready to adapt, collaborate, and innovate while remaining steadfast in our commitment to affordable and quality healthcare based on ethical and patient centric values.
Despite macroeconomic headwinds and a competitive environment, our financial performance during the year under review has been satisfactory. We have maintained our debt-free status, a testament to our prudent financial management. Our conservative approach?prioritising sustainability over aggressive expansion?has enabled us to weather economic disruptions and preserve shareholder value. With the exception of the pandemic-affected years, we have consistently declared dividends, reflecting our stable governance and fiscal discipline.
At NG, we have never compromised on ethics or quality, even in the face of market pressures. Our patient-first philosophy, adherence to medical ethics, and focus on long-term impact have guided every decision. Our teams?clinical, administrative, and support? deserve appreciation for upholding these values while delivering care with empathy and professionalism.
As we move forward, our focus will be on strategic consolidation, operational optimisation, and incremental expansion in patient care services?especially in areas such as preventive health, digital health access, medical services and geriatric care. We aim to further leverage technology, strengthen partnerships, and remain actively engaged in sectoral dialogues that shape policy and patient care. We hope to return to operational growth pursuing our policies in the coming years, having faced once in a life time disruption of the COVID and immediate thereafter resulting consequent disruptive years.
We consider your companys performance for the year 2024-25 as satisfactory in the context of the above described scenario and believe that the outlook of the company can be one of further recovery and consolidation and we hope the same to be achieved in the coming years. To our esteemed shareholders, thank you for the tremendous belief you have shown in our vision, which empowers us to reach new heights in healthcare delivery.
We enter FY 2025^26 with cautious optimism, grounded in resilience and guided by a clear vision.
We thank our stakeholders?patients, employees, partners, and shareholders?for their continued trust and support. Together, we look forward to building a healthier tomorrow.
There was no change in the nature of the business of the Company during the year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Over the years, our reflections in the Management Discussion & Analysis may appear having remained same, yet they represent the cumulative wisdom and deep understanding that we have gathered over nearly three decades in the healthcare industry. The challenges and learnings in this sector often evolve incrementally and wisdom in healthcare is as much about continuity as it is about innovation.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS
Indias healthcare landscape continues to grow and diversify, supported by macroeconomic trends and rising public health consciousness. Key drivers of this expansion include:
Rising income levels and a growing middle class with increased willingness to spend on quality healthcare
Greater health awareness, particularly post-pandemic
Aging population, contributing to higher demand for chronic care and specialized treatment
Rapid advancements in medical technology, diagnostics, and Al-led interventions
Longer life expectancy, necessitating sustained access to preventive and curative care
Wider health insurance coverage, both public and private
Government policy is actively encouraging wider insurance penetration. Union Government schemes, along with various State Government health-card initiatives, are targeting broader population segments for insured and subsidised healthcare. The long-term aim is universal health coverage, where quality care is made accessible to every citizen. These developments are expected to create stronger demand for structured, ethical, and technologically supported healthcare delivery models.
The healthcare industry is also experiencing a phase of digital transformation. Al-powered diagnostics, minimally invasive surgical procedures, cloud-based health records, and telehealth solutions are increasingly becoming integral to service delivery. This has opened new avenues for improving access, efficiency, and patient outcomes, while also challenging institutions to keep pace with evolving expectations. ^
IMPACT OF COVID-19 & SECTORAL SHIFTS
COVID-19 remains a defining global disruption, and its long-term imprint on healthcare is undeniable. Though the immediate crisis has passed, the pandemic brought systemic shifts in patient behaviour, healthcare delivery models, and regulatory oversight. Our Company has previously detailed the pandemics operational and financial impact in dedicated disclosures, available under the Information & Circulars for Shareholders section of our website, and referenced in earlier Annual Reports.
We reiterate the importance of the pandemic not as a one-off event, but as a structural breakpoint that continues to influence staffs, patient interaction models, infection control protocols, and public expectations. It has reinforced the need for agility, resilience, and a patient-centric communication strategy. It has also meant rebuilding of our doctor support base and patient outreach segments and dealing with challenges in holding onto sustainable levels of services under such circumstances.
OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS & CONCERNS
Opportunities:
Continued growth in insurance penetration, both cashless and reimbursement- based, is opening up access for wider segments of the population.
Digitalisation and Al are reshaping the diagnostics and treatment landscape, offering opportunities for efficient service delivery and enhanced outcomes.
The increased demand for outpatient services, preventive care, home healthcare, and adult vaccination services aligns well with our core competencies.
Urban population growth, combined with increasing chronic illness burdens, ensures sustained relevance for affordable, ethical healthcare providers.
Risks & Concerns:
Economic slowdowns, especially in the services and informal sectors, can reduce discretionary health spending and delay elective treatments.
Negative - public perception, particularly in cases of treatment failure or complications, poses reputational risk?even in the presence of sound clinical judgment.
Attrition of experienced medical professionals and support staff remains a post pandemic challenge, particularly with global demand for talent.
Disruptions to Doctor-Clinic relationships, especially during COVID, have required continuous rebuilding of referral networks and trust-based outreach.
Political sensitivity and regulatory risks continue to surround the healthcare sector. Periodic moves toward price capping, over-regulation, and standardisation?though well-intentioned?can sometimes impact service quality and innovation.
Violence and litigation against healthcare institutions, often arising from misinformation or unrealistic expectations, pose real operational and legal challenges.
The Company has taken steps to mitigate these risks through:
Strong emphasis on ethical and transparent medical practices
Patient education and counselling, using plain language to set realistic expectations
Ongoing staff training and adherence to clinical protocols
Regular external quality audits and accreditation processes
Proactive investment in technology and diagnostic upgrades
Retention and on boarding of qualified medical professionals, with a focus on longterm engagement and workplace culture
Reinforced security measures and adherence to updated legal and statutory compliance frameworks
OUTLOOK
The overall outlook for the Company remains cautiously optimistic. The healthcare sector continues to be a priority for public and private investment, and we believe that institutions like ours?with a strong ethical foundation and long-standing community trust?will continue to play a vital role in the future of patient care.
We are focused on:
Rebuilding and strengthening our outpatient and diagnostic divisions
Expanding digital capabilities and patient interface tools
Deepening our relationships with the medical fraternity
Enhancing staff capabilities through training and continued professional development
Participating actively in public health initiatives, including vaccination outreach, medical services, home care services and preventive health drives
Our nearly 30-year legacy of consistent service, coupled with a debt-free balance sheet and prudent governance, positions us well to navigate the evolving post-pandemic landscape. We remain committed to quality, affordability, and ethical care?principles that will continue to guide our growth and transformation in the years ahead.
