Narayana Hrudayalaya Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year 2025-26, disclosing significant progress in environmental sustainability and operational safety metrics. The filing, dated July 23, 2026, reveals that the company achieved a renewable energy mix of 39.08% for its total electricity consumption, surpassing its earlier target of 35%. This transition, particularly impactful across four hospitals in Karnataka where over 98.92% of electricity is now sourced from renewables, resulted in annual cost savings of approximately ₹80.5 million and avoided more than 28,300 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

The report was filed pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015. SGS India Private Ltd provided reasonable assurance on the BRSR core indicators and limited assurance on selected non-core indicators, confirming the data's accuracy in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) and ISAE 3410.

Environmental Performance and Efficiency

Narayana Hrudayalaya’s environmental strategy focuses on energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste management. In FY26, the company implemented retrofit initiatives, including replacing diesel-fired boilers with refrigerant-based heat pumps and upgrading HVAC systems. These measures yielded energy savings of ₹43.69 million, equivalent to conserving 5.66 million units of electricity.

Water stewardship remains a critical focus, with the company achieving a 95% wastewater recycling rate, meeting its target. Total water withdrawal increased to 10,53,382 kilolitres from 9,85,908 kilolitres in FY24-25, driven by service expansion within existing facilities. However, water consumption decreased to 7,62,839 kilolitres from 8,79,640 kilolitres the prior year. Four hospitals currently operate Zero Liquid Discharge systems, reusing treated wastewater for non-contact applications such as flushing and gardening.

Safety and Social Impact

Operational safety metrics remained robust, with a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of zero for employees in FY26, consistent with FY24-25. The company conducted over 473 clinical and 983 non-clinical mock drills annually to ensure emergency preparedness. On the social front, Narayana Hrudayalaya trained 1,160 doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff against a target of 1,000, and supported 2,138 underprivileged students through NEET coaching and scholarships, exceeding its goal of 2,040.

Key Sustainability Metrics

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between rising total water withdrawal and falling water consumption highlights the effectiveness of Narayana Hrudayalaya’s efficiency initiatives despite operational expansion. While withdrawal grew by nearly 7% due to service scaling, consumption dropped by over 13%, indicating successful reduction in water loss and improved usage intensity. Similarly, the increase in renewable energy mix to 39.08% alongside a decrease in total energy consumption demonstrates that the company is decoupling growth from carbon intensity, aligning with its long-term carbon neutrality target for 2040.

Narayana Hrudayalaya has announced that its board will convene on July 31 to review the financial results for the first quarter (Q1). The scheduled board meeting is a key event for investors and market participants tracking the company's quarterly financial performance.
