API Holdings Repays Rs 1,050 Crore Debt, Retains Control of Thyrocare
API Holdings, parent company of PharmEasy and Thyrocare, has repaid its entire outstanding debt of Rs 1,050 crore, becoming debt-free. The repayment was funded through proceeds from a partial sale of its 9.9% stake in Thyrocare by promoter entity Docon Technologies and internal accruals. Following the sale, Docon retains a 51.02% stake in Thyrocare, now fully unencumbered after the release of pledged shares. Company officials highlighted this milestone as strengthening the balance sheet without diluting ownership, with expectations of profitability across group businesses.
