• DCDC Kidney Care has raised ₹150 crore from ABC Impact, a Singapore-based impact investor backed by Temasek.
  • The company plans to open 150+ additional clinics, expanding access to dialysis for patients who currently travel up to 50 km for treatment.

Delhi-based DCDC Kidney Care has secured ₹150 crore in funding from ABC Impact, a Singapore-based impact investor backed by Temasek.

The capital infusion will help the company expand its dialysis network and improve patient accessibility across India.

DCDC operates over 200 dialysis centers under public-private partnerships and as standalone clinics.

The company aims to use the funds to open more than 150 additional clinics in the coming months, addressing the critical need for dialysis services in underserved areas.

Many patients currently travel up to 50 kilometers for treatment, highlighting the urgent demand for more accessible care.

Addressing the Growing Burden of Kidney Disease

Founded in 2009, DCDC delivers nearly 100,000 dialysis sessions every month. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) affects over 1.5 million people in India, with many requiring dialysis three times a week.

The lack of accessible and affordable treatment continues to pose significant challenges, especially for low-income families who struggle with high costs and inconsistent care.

Leadership Insights on Expansion Plans

DCDC Founder and CEO Aseem Garg emphasized the importance of investment in transforming kidney care across India.

"This investment from ABC Impact will help enhance our efforts to transform kidney care in India. With this investment, we plan to expand our network of company-owned centres, ensuring last-mile connectivity and making high-quality dialysis care accessible closer to patients' homes," he said.

ABC Impact’s Chief Impact Officer Sugandhi Matta highlighted the pressing need for expanded dialysis services in India.

DCDC’s existing investors include the Danish government-owned investment fund IFU and the Asian Development Bank. IFU’s investment is made through the Danish SDG Investment Fund, which is backed by the Danish State, large Danish pension funds, and other private and institutional investors.
