1. At a Glance – Dialysis, Diagnostics & Drama
Nephro Care India Ltd is currently sitting at a market cap of ₹124 Cr, trading at ₹75.2, down a brutal 49.2% in the last 3 months and 51.1% in the last 1 year. Investors who entered near the high of ₹183 are probably Googling “home dialysis for portfolios.”

- P/E: 36.6
