HealthCare Global Enterprises Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, to the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited. The filing covers consolidated operations across its network of cancer care centres and hospitals in India and Kenya.
The report discloses that the company’s turnover for FY26 stood at ₹25,384.29 million, while its net worth was reported at ₹13,319.70 million. These figures make the company eligible for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) obligations under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. International business revenue contributed 2.13% to the total turnover.
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence exists between the company’s energy consumption trends and its emission intensity metrics. While total energy consumption decreased from 194,224.10 GJ in FY25 to 170,621.49 GJ in FY26, the energy intensity per rupee of turnover also fell significantly from 0.000008756185 to 0.0000067215. This suggests improved operational efficiency relative to revenue generation, despite a larger physical footprint or patient volume potentially driving absolute usage elsewhere. Additionally, Scope 1 emissions rose sharply from 468.77 metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent to 1,311.97 metric tonnes, even as Scope 2 emissions declined from 34,415.84 to 29,172.37 metric tonnes. This shift warrants attention regarding direct operational emissions versus purchased electricity impacts.
Environmental Disclosures
The company reported total water withdrawal of 432,986.22 kilolitres, a slight decrease from 443,640 kilolitres in the previous year. Water intensity per rupee of turnover dropped from 0.0000200005771 to 0.0000170573. Total waste generated increased to 578.51 metric tonnes from 536.774 metric tonnes. Bio-medical waste constituted the largest share at 454.92 metric tonnes. The company does not have a Zero Liquid Discharge mechanism in place.
