Most will only live long enough if they get dialysis three times a week \u2013 forever. In each session, 120\u2013150 litres of dialysate concentrate, a very specific chemical solution that removes blood from the body, are used. If it wasn&#8217;t there, the machine would be all metal and plastic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the bad news is that the majority of the dialysis fluid used in India&#8217;s rapidly expanding dialysis chains are imported from abroad or produced by just two dozen companies, mostly from Maharashtra and Telangana. In many parts of Jharkhand, Odisha, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and the entire North East patients have to rely on supplies, which come after traversing a distance of 1000-1500 kilometres before reaching the dialysis chair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhm.tn.gov.in\/en\/nhm-programsnon-communicable-diseases\/national-dialysis-programmendp\">National Health Mission<\/a> (NHM) estimates that India currently gets around 2.2 lakh new end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients every year. This number adds up to 3.4 crore additional dialysis treatment each year. The Government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/pmndp.mohfw.gov.in\/en\">Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme (PMNDP)<\/a> has already expanded to 1,704 dialysis centres in 751 districts. All of these centres require concentrate each week. It&#8217;s not a niche opportunity this is a structural supply gap in a life-saving industry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#The_Supply_Gap_No_One_Is_Filling_Fast_Enough\" >The Supply Gap No One Is Filling Fast Enough<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Get_Detailed_Insights_from_This_Book_Industrial_Chemicals_Technology_Hand_Book\" >Get Detailed Insights from This Book: Industrial Chemicals Technology Hand Book<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#TABLE_1_State-wise_Demand_Profile_and_Key_Industrial_Clusters_for_Hemodialysis_Dialysate_Concentrate\" >TABLE 1: State-wise Demand Profile and Key Industrial Clusters for Hemodialysis Dialysate Concentrate<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Section_3_Why_the_Window_Is_Open_Right_Now\" >Section 3: Why the Window Is Open Right Now<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Get_Detailed_Project_Report_DPR_Industrial_Cleaning_and_Detergent_Projects_Guide\" >Get Detailed Project Report (DPR): Industrial Cleaning and Detergent Projects Guide<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Step-by-Step_Setup_Guide\" >Step-by-Step Setup Guide<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Step_1_%E2%80%94_Assess_your_product_mix_and_target_market\" >Step 1 \u2014 Assess your product mix and target market<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Step_2_%E2%80%94_Location_and_space\" >Step 2 \u2014 Location and space<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Step_3_%E2%80%94_Core_machinery_required\" >Step 3 \u2014 Core machinery required<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\/#Stage_4_%E2%80%93_Raw_material_procurement\" >Stage 4 &#8211;

However, there is one weak link in the domestic supply chain that is always a problem: the use of dialysate concentrates, the consumable on which every hemodialysis session depends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider the numbers. Three dialysis sessions per week are required for each patient with regular hemodialysis. The amount of acid concentrate (Part A) needed for each session is about 8\u201310 litres, while the amount of bicarbonate concentrate (Part B) is 650 ml. Count, say, 7-8 lakh patients undergoing dialysis in India, and you end up with thousands of tonnes of usage of concentrate, mostly imported from Germany, the US and China or produced by a few local manufacturers concentrated in the west and south of India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tier-2 and Tier-3 heavy states with the highest unmet demand are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh with dialysis infrastructure growing under PMNDP and local manufacturing is close to zero. The <a href=\"https:\/\/pharmadocx.com\/haemodialysis-solution-manufacturing-business-in-india\/\">CDSCO <\/a>classification of haemodialysis concentrate as a Class C medical device has created a slight regulatory moat: new players have to go through a process of manufacturing licence for the product, which disables fly by night operators but does not prevent serious MSME investors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supply situation for the cleaning chemicals \u2013 sodium hypochlorite solution, citric acid and acetic acid for disinfecting dialysis machines \u2013 is even more simple. Very few of these products are branded, and they are purchased from industry chemical suppliers as needed by dialysis centres, and may not be pure in quality. A manufacturer with the capacity to provide pharma-grade cleaning chemicals as well as dialysate concentrate to the same buyer is on a head-start in the procurement process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"get-detailed-insights-from-this-book-industrial-chemicals-technology-hand-book\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Detailed_Insights_from_This_Book_Industrial_Chemicals_Technology_Hand_Book\"><\/span>Get Detailed Insights from This Book: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/books\/book\/industrial-chemicals-technology-hand-book\/isbn-817833075X\/zb,,55,a,0,0,a\/index.html\">Industrial Chemicals Technology Hand Book<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"table-1-statewise-demand-profile-and-key-industrial-clusters-for-hemodialysis-dialysate-concentrate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TABLE_1_State-wise_Demand_Profile_and_Key_Industrial_Clusters_for_Hemodialysis_Dialysate_Concentrate\"><\/span><strong>TABLE 1: State-wise Demand Profile and Key Industrial Clusters for Hemodialysis Dialysate Concentrate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\r\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>State \/ Region<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>CKD Burden (est.)<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Dialysis Centres<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Key Industrial Cluster<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Demand Driver<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Uttar Pradesh<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>High \u2013 1.8 cr+ diabetics<\/td>\r\n<td>280+<\/td>\r\n<td>Noida, Agra, Kanpur<\/td>\r\n<td>Highest population; rising diabetes &amp; hypertension<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Maharashtra<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>High \u2013 dense urban load<\/td>\r\n<td>370+<\/td>\r\n<td>Mumbai, Pune, Nashik<\/td>\r\n<td>Large hospital chains; strong API\/pharma cluster<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Tamil Nadu<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>High \u2013 legacy NCD burden<\/td>\r\n<td>320+<\/td>\r\n<td>Chennai, Coimbatore<\/td>\r\n<td>Well-developed dialysis network; PMNDP coverage<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Telangana \/ AP<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>Rising rapidly<\/td>\r\n<td>210+<\/td>\r\n<td>Hyderabad pharma hub<\/td>\r\n<td>Bulk drug industry; proximity to raw material suppliers<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Gujarat<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>Moderate\u2013High<\/td>\r\n<td>160+<\/td>\r\n<td>Ahmedabad, Surat, Ankleshwar<\/td>\r\n<td>Chemical manufacturing base; port access for exports<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>West Bengal<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td>High \u2013 urban slums<\/td>\r\n<td>120+<\/td>\r\n<td>Kolkata, Durgapur<\/td>\r\n<td>Underserved; major gap between demand and supply<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: IMARC Group India Dialysis Market Report; NHM Tamil Nadu NDP data; Pharmadocx Industry Analysis<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"section-3-why-the-window-is-open-right-now\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Section_3_Why_the_Window_Is_Open_Right_Now\"><\/span><strong>Section 3: Why the Window Is Open Right Now<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three forces are all coming together at once. According to the government&#8217;s direction to Parliament, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ddnews.gov.in\/en\/pm-national-dialysis-programme-expanded-to-751-districts-across-india\/\">Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme<\/a> has extended its reach to 751 districts, and is moving towards the taluka level. The opening of a new dialysis centre in a district represents a new customer base, one that will purchase concentrate at regular intervals and who is often more willing to pay any price for concentrate because they need it to keep their patients alive. Every new dialysis center in a district becomes a new customer for concentrate, one who cannot afford to not have it, and who often will pay any price for it because it helps keep their patients alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, the import dependency of India in the medical devices is a policy concern. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ksandk.com\/investment\/manufacturing-of-medical-devices-through-pli-scheme\/\">PLI scheme for Medical Devices<\/a> provides an incentive of 5% for an incremental sale for manufacturer over 5 years period. The medical devices PLI framework applies to dialysate concentrate. It is administered by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in collaboration with DPIIT and the list of approved applicants already includes dialysis consumables. If it is a new unit with a moderate capex, a 5% revenue top-up by the government makes a significant difference to the payback period.(Hemodialysis Dialysate Concentrate)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, demographics are driving the show. India has more than 10.1 crore diabetic population which is the largest diabetic population in the world. Another 22 crore adults suffer from hypertension. These both are a major cause of chronic kidney disease. With increasing recognition of kidney health and increased screening in Tier-2 cities, the number of new dialysis patients will continue to expand in the next ten years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entry conditions are relatively easy for an MSME manufacturer. Other relevant government schemes that are directly beneficial to this business are: PMEGP (Prime Minister&#8217;s Employment Generation Programme) which provides 15-35% capital subsidy on projects up to \u20b950 lakh for manufacturing units through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kviconline.gov.in\">kviconline.gov.in<\/a>; and CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises) which permits collateral-free loans up to \u20b92 crore through any scheduled bank for Udyam-registered units.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"get-detailed-project-report-dpr-industrial-cleaning-and-detergent-projects-guide\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Detailed_Project_Report_DPR_Industrial_Cleaning_and_Detergent_Projects_Guide\"><\/span>Get Detailed Project Report (DPR): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/profile-projects-reports\/profiles\/soap-detergents-surfactants-cleaners-cleaning-powder-laundry-care-fabric-care-wash-household-industrial-detergents-washing-toilet-liquid-soaps-liquid-detergents-acid-slurry-projects\/z,,1e,0,a\/index.html\">Industrial Cleaning and Detergent Projects Guide<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-34240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1-920x1380.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.niir.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Untitled-design-42-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"stepbystep-setup-guide\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Setup_Guide\"><\/span><strong>Step-by-Step Setup Guide<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"step-1-assess-your-product-mix-and-target-market\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%94_Assess_your_product_mix_and_target_market\"><\/span><strong>Step 1 \u2014 Assess your product mix and target market<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First use two to three products: liquid acid concentrate (Part B \u2014 bicarbonate type), bicarbonate concentrate (Part B liquid), sodium hypochlorite cleaning solution.

Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\">Niir Project Consultancy Services (NPCS)<\/a> at niir.org specializes in such pre-investment analysis including plant layout design, selection of machinery, raw material cost modelling, roadmap for compliance with regulatory requirements and financial projections tailored to the Indian market. Furthermore, NPCS has already released detailed project reports on haemodialysis dialysate concentrate manufacturing, including formulation notes, equipment sourcing guide and revenue models based on the capacity. Additionally, Their reports can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\">entrepreneurindia.co<\/a> and represent a solid foundation to get founders from the idea stage to an investable proposition without employing a full-service consultant up front. Thus, A project report worth \u20b910,000 to \u20b925,000 is worth the investment for an investment amount of \u20b950 lakh \u2013 \u20b91.5 crore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"one-decision-one-next-step\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_Decision_One_Next_Step\"><\/span><strong>One Decision.

There is no viral moment, there is no consumer brand to build, there&#8217;s no VC interest in. What is there: a consistent, non-discretionary demand from a patient population that continues to increase, a government programme actively creating a larger buyer group and a supply chain with great geographic gaps to be filled.(Hemodialysis Dialysate Concentrate)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a seriously under explored manufacturing play if you are an industrial investor or are a first-generation entrepreneur with access to \u20b950-60 lakh of seed money and have a chemistry\/Pharma background. The regulatory route is in place. It&#8217;s the institutions who are the buyers and not wild consumers. Once you pass the test and make the hospital&#8217;s approved vendor list, the money is in contract.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, proceed to commission a techno-economic feasibility study (TES) (NPCS, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\">niir.org<\/a>) and at the same time launch your CDSCO pre-application engagement.

Additionally, With 12 years of distribution experience and hospital purchasing managers for contacts, he raised an MSME loan at CGTMSE support and under the PMEGP capital subsidy and established a 2,500 sq ft concentrate manufacturing facility on the outskirts of Patancheru. Consequently, Within 30 months the unit was providing concentrate to 18 dialysis centers in Telangana and AP with monthly turnover peaking at 14 lakhs. The lesson: &#8220;Obtain your CDSCO approval before buying machinery, not after,&#8221; emphasizes him.
