The full read
Star Imaging has put a 1184-slice-per-second CT scanner into its Tilak Nagar centre in Delhi. The company says it is the first in North India with this speed. The upgrade is clinical: the scanner captures a full heart in one beat and covers an entire organ in a single pass. That's a technical edge in cardiology, neurology, and oncology. The spending fits within the company's guided ₹20-25 crore capex for FY27, though the specific unit cost isn't disclosed. For a nano-cap, this is a focused bet. It is less about overall capacity and more about winning specific, high-margin referrals in a competitive geography.
