About the Brand

Brand USP

Collection-centre franchise backed by a listed Lucknow diagnostics company with its own central lab, per its own page and filings.

HeadquartersLucknow, Uttar Pradesh

Chandan Diagnostic is the diagnostics brand of Chandan Healthcare Limited, a Lucknow company listed on the NSE (symbol CHANDAN). Its franchise page invites partners to open a collection centre of 150-250 sq ft on a main road, on owned, leased or rented ground-floor premises with a toilet, backed by a central lab. The page says the network has 1 central lab, 60+ diagnostic centres, 40+ network labs and 400+ collection centres. The only cost figure is "Minimum Investment: Rs 45,500 onwards (Limited Period Offer)"; the page says to speak to the franchise team for investment plans and publishes no franchise fee, royalty or revenue share, agreement term or what the Rs 45,500 covers. Because "onwards" and a limited-period offer are not a full cost, we show no headline investment and no confirmed live offer. Syndicated company press releases carried by a news outlet (not verified by it) say the company had 568 franchises on 23 September 2026 and 685 as of 30 September 2026 after adding 410 in the quarter, mostly collection points in Uttar Pradesh; the two counts do not reconcile. They also say the franchise partner covers local infrastructure and operating costs, that the programme is about six months old, and that the company targets 1,000 franchises by the end of FY27. What to watch: the company's FY25 annual report does not mention franchising, and says 360 collection centres without stating how many are franchised. The locator lists 45 diagnostic centres and one hospital (46 rows) but does not list collection centres, so we cannot count the franchise outlets. Filings show the standalone company earning Rs 156.65 crore revenue and Rs 25.34 crore net profit in FY26; those are company results, not franchise-unit earnings. Ask existing Chandan franchise partners for real centre volumes, costs and payouts before committing.
