Revenue model

1. Hospital Services (India): Revenue from inpatient and outpatient medical services across 18 hospitals and 22 healthcare centers in India, covering specialties including cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, neurology, nephrology, and more. India revenue grew 12.8% YoY to ₹1,250.5 crore in Q4FY26, with Q3FY26 India revenue at ₹1,235 crore (up 8.8% YoY). Annual revenue for FY26 climbed 42% to ₹7,806 crore.
2. International Operations (UK & Cayman Islands): Revenue from Health City Cayman Islands (2 hospitals, 13 healthcare centers) and the newly acquired UK subsidiary Practice Plus Group (16 facilities, 330 beds, ~80,000 surgeries annually). UK business contributed ₹809 crore to Q4FY26 quarterly revenue and ₹1,299 crore for the full year FY26. Cayman business posted ₹188 crore in profitability in Q3FY26, up 42% YoY. UK acquisition completed in October/November 2025 for approximately £188.78 million (₹2,200 crore).
3. Health Insurance (Narayana Health Insurance / Narayana One Health): Managed care insurance model where the wholly-owned subsidiary assumes 100% probability of healthcare needs over a customer's lifetime rather than treating hospitalization as an inconvenience to be denied. Provides proactive services including health check-ups, specialist consultations, and 24-hour doctor access as part of the policy. Currently limited to Karnataka and select cities (Kolkata, Guwahati, Jaipur, Raipur, Jamshedpur). Developing WhatsApp-based low-cost policy and bite-sized procedure-specific insurance products.
4. Government Health Schemes: Revenue from government-sponsored health schemes including Ayushman Bharat and West Bengal's Swasthya Sathi. Government schemes currently account for about 25% of revenue at top private hospitals, though Narayana Health has capped scheme volumes in its northern region due to profitability pressures from payment delays and low reimbursements.
