Lifecare Diagnostics Franchise

Healthcare & PharmacyEst. 1995Andheri West, Mumbai

Lifecare Diagnostics, Mumbai (since 1995): franchise page is old and gives only indicative costs; 4 Mumbai branches on its centres page.

About This Listing

We could not confirm this programme is live. The franchise page is on Lifecare's current site, but its text reads as written around 2012 (it cites 'a business presence for 17 years', 2011-12 market figures, 'four diagnostics centers', 'over 100 collection centers' and a plan for 15-20 new centres), and it gives no franchise fee, royalty or contact other than a general helpline. Its cost figures are marked '(* ... indicative only)'. Lifecare's own centres page lists four branches, all in Mumbai. Treat everything on the page as an old brand statement and ask Lifecare in writing whether it is signing franchisees today.

About the Brand

Brand USP

Lifecare says it started in 1995 in Andheri, Mumbai, and offers pathology, imaging and preventive-health checks; its centres page lists four Mumbai branches.

HeadquartersAndheri West, Mumbai
Lifecare Diagnostics is a Mumbai diagnostics business run by Lifecare Diagnostics & Research Center Pvt. Ltd, which says it started in July 1995 in Andheri. It offers pathology, imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, DEXA), dental imaging, cardiac tests and preventive health packages. Its centres page lists four branches, all in Mumbai (recounted 2 Nov 2026), and it claims NABL accreditation, which we have not checked on the NABL register. Its franchise page offers two models with indicative, asterisked costs: a Diagnostic Centre of 3,000-4,500 sq ft (around Rs 4.5-5.5 crore, or 'an additional 9 cr' for CT and MRI) and an Advanced Pathology lab of 700-1,200 sq ft (Rs 1-1.5 crore). It states a 7-year initial agreement, renewable by mutual agreement, 2-3 months to open after signing, and says no licence is needed 'but you need to sign the formal legal agreement'. Diagnostic labs are regulated businesses, so check what registrations a centre needs in your state. The franchise fee, royalty and any revenue share are not published. What to watch: the page text reads as written around 2012 ('17 years', 2011-12 market data, 'four diagnostics centers', 'over 100 collection centers', a plan for 15-20 new centres). It does not show any franchised outlet, and Lifecare's own centres page lists none outside Mumbai. We could not confirm the programme is active, so the status is shown as unknown. It also names ISO 9001:2008, an older version of that standard, and says Lifecare is 'in process' to get CAP accreditation. Ask Lifecare in writing whether it signs franchisees today and for the contact details of existing partners.
