Apollo Hospitals share price jumps over 4% 50 52-week high on plans to list digital health, pharmacy businesses
The board of directors of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise and Apollo HealthCo, a subsidiary of the healthcare major, have accorded in-principle approval for the composite scheme of arrangement.
The scheme entails the demerger of the Omni Channel Pharma and Digital Health business - comprising the telehealth business of Apollo and its investment in Apollo HealthCo Ltd - into a new entity.
Following the demerger, the scheme provides for the amalgamation of Apollo HealthCo with the new entity.
This will subsequently be followed by the amalgamation of Keimed Pvt Ltd with NewCo (new entity).
'The proposed transaction will result in the creation of the largest, integrated omni-channel healthcare eco-system with a FY25 revenue of ₹ 16,300 crores ($1.9 billion) in FY25,' Apollo Hospitals said in a release.
The business will comprise - Apollo 24/7, the digital health platform; the offline pharma distribution of AHL; Third party pharma distribution of Keimed; and telehealth services of AHEL.
'The combination of businesses is anticipated to generate substantial synergies, and the New Co is expected to achieve a revenue run rate of ₹ 25,000 crores ($2.9 billion) by FY27,' the company added.
Upon the effectiveness of the Scheme, the new entity will become an Indian Owned and Controlled Company (IOCC) and will apply for listing on the stock exchanges, it added.
The listing is expected within 18-21 months, the healthcare major said.
For every 100 shares of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, the shareholders of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise will receive 195.2 shares of NewCo, enabling their direct participation in the value unlock.
Upon becoming an IOCC, the entity also proposes to consolidate the front-end pharmacy business by acquiring the remaining 74.5% stake in Apollo Medicals Pvt Ltd (AMPL), which owns 100% of Apollo Pharmacies Limited (APL), it said.
Apollo Hospitals Enterprise will retain a 15% stake in the 'NewCo' to ensure an integrated, seamless, and comprehensive healthcare offering across the patient lifecycle, it added.
Apollo Hospitals Enterprise MD Suneeta Reddy said the proposal enables the healthcare provider's shareholders to gain direct shareholding to country's largest omni-channel pharmacy and digital health platform.
Apollo Hospitals share price has risen 9% in one month, and more than 12% in three months. The stock is up just 1% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, but has rallied 22% in one year. Apollo Hospitals shares have delivered mutlibagger returns of 466% in the past five years.
At 10:15 AM, Apollo Hospitals share price was trading 3.28% higher at ₹ 7,480.00 apiece on the BSE.

Why HDB Financial's IPO Has Retail Investors Talking
HDB Financial Services IPO Allotment: HDB Financial Services, a non-banking finance arm of HDFC Bank, launched its much-anticipated IPO this week. The IPO received strong investor interest, being subscribed nearly 17 times. Retail and institutional investors alike are eyeing this issue, which could be one of the biggest non-banking financial services (NBFC) listings in recent years. The company aims to raise Rs 12,500 crore through a mix of offer for sale (OFS) and fresh issue. The expected price band of Rs 700-740 per share is competitive, considering HDB's strong fundamentals and backing by India's largest private lender. The listing on the BSE and NSE is set for July 2, 2025. What Makes HDB Financial's IPO Special? Strong Parentage: Backed by HDFC Bank, one of India's most trusted financial institutions. Healthy Financials: HDB has shown consistent growth in its loan book, asset quality, and net profit margins. Low NPAs: Gross NPA ratio is among the lowest in the NBFC segment. Digital Lending Play: With a shift towards tech-driven lending, HDB is well-positioned for the next fintech wave. Why Retail Investors Are Buzzing Many retail investors are comparing HDB's potential listing to past success stories like SBI Cards or HDFC AMC. Given its wide service reach, brand trust, and stable returns, it's drawing both seasoned investors and first-timers. "I missed the HDFC Life IPO back then. This time I'm not letting go of HDB," a Reddit user wrote on the r/IndianStockMarket forum. Others see this as a long-term wealth creation opportunity, especially with the NBFC sector bouncing back after recent regulatory clarity from RBI. Should You Apply? Analysts are optimistic but caution against overvaluation. Here's what to consider: Check GMP (Grey Market Premium) trends before investing. Look at the company's valuation compared to peers like Bajaj Finance or Muthoot. If you're a long-term investor, HDB could offer steady compounding and brand-backed stability. How to Check Allotment Status Once the allotment is announced, investors can check the status via the BSE IPO Allotment portal Keep your PAN number and application number handy. Why This Matters HDB Financial's IPO isn't just another listing - it's a signal of where India's NBFC sector is headed. With deep roots and digital ambitions, HDB could be a worthy bet for long-term investors. But like all IPOs, research before you leap.
