Chandan Healthcare’s franchises primarily operate as diagnostic collection points, with samples routed to the nearest Chandan laboratory or diagnostic centre for processing. The franchise partner undertakes local infrastructure and operating expenses, while Chandan provides diagnostic capabilities, quality protocols, branding and operational support. With franchise outlets requiring no capex deployment from Chandan Healthcare, the model enables the Company to scale its network without additional franchise-level capital investment from its balance sheet, while supporting its margin profile.
As on 23rd September, 2026, the Company operates 23 Comprehensive Diagnostic Centres, 18 Diagnostic Centres, 25 standalone laboratories and 2 Central Reference Laboratories, alongside a network of 568 operational franchises.
Currently, around 80% of the franchise network is concentrated in Uttar Pradesh, where Chandan has built significant collection density around its diagnostic infrastructure. The next phase will focus on replicating this network across newer geographies, with the Company progressively expanding its franchise presence across India.
The combination of owned diagnostic hubs and an expanding franchise network provides Chandan Healthcare with a scalable route to enter new markets, widen patient access and generate additional volumes for its existing laboratory infrastructure.
Commenting on the Development, Mr. Amar Singh, Promoter and Chairman & Managing Director of Chandan Healthcare Limited, said, “Our franchise journey is still relatively new, but the response has enabled us to scale to 568 franchises within a short span of six months. We are now working towards reaching 1,000 franchises by the end of FY27 and subsequently scaling the network to 3,000 franchises over the next two years.
The strategy is to build laboratories and diagnostic centres as hubs and create a wider network of franchise collection points around them. This allows us to reach patients in locations where establishing a full diagnostic centre may not be necessary, while the additional sample volumes can improve utilisation of our existing laboratory infrastructure. As our owned and franchise networks expand together, we expect to build a significantly wider diagnostics footprint across India.”
