Suraksha Diagnostics to Invest Rs 200 Million in Eastern India

19 Jun 2025 CW Team

Suraksha Diagnostics, a leading diagnostics provider in eastern India, has announced a Rs 200 million investment to establish over 20 advanced imaging centres across the region. The project, in partnership with United Imaging, aims to enhance access to high-quality diagnostic services in tier-II and tier-III cities across states such as West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, and Meghalaya.

The investment will enable the setup of new centres equipped with cutting-edge imaging technologies, augmenting Suraksha’s existing network—which currently includes 59 diagnostic and 166 sample collection facilities. The expanded network will combine United Imaging’s advanced machinery with Suraksha’s robust operational expertise to deliver affordable and reliable healthcare solutions.

Founded through an IPO in December, Suraksha Diagnostics raised Rs 846.25 million to fund its growth plans. The additional centres will bring specialised services like MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, and X-rays closer to underserved communities, addressing the growing demand for accessible healthcare in semi-urban areas.

Somnath Chatterjee, Chairman and Managing Director of Suraksha Diagnostics, said the collaboration would allow the company to broaden its reach and provide top-tier diagnostic care to a wider population in eastern India.

This expansion forms part of Suraksha Diagnostics’ strategic initiative to upgrade healthcare infrastructure in underdeveloped regions, promising improved health outcomes and better clinical support outside major urban centres.
