IHH Healthcare to expand India capacity to 7,000 beds by 2028

IHH Healthcare, one of the world’s largest healthcare groups, has announced plans to expand its hospital capacity in India to 7,000 beds by 2028, highlighting its long-term commitment to the Indian market, according to a report. The expansion will be undertaken through a combination of brownfield and greenfield projects across key cities, aimed at addressing the growing demand for quality healthcare services. India continues to remain a priority growth market for IHH Healthcare, supported by favourable demographics, increasing healthcare awareness and a steady rise in demand for advanced medical care. The planned capacity addition is expected to strengthen the group’s presence across major clinical specialties and improve access to tertiary and quaternary healthcare services.
The expansion aligns with India’s broader healthcare development objectives, including improving hospital infrastructure, enhancing private sector participation and strengthening service delivery. Factors such as the rising prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, expanding health insurance coverage and improving affordability are driving sustained demand for hospital services. Investments by global healthcare providers like IHH Healthcare are also expected to contribute to employment generation, technology adoption and skill development in the healthcare sector. The planned scale-up reflects confidence in India’s policy environment and long-term healthcare demand outlook. Overall, the expansion is expected to support the strengthening of India’s healthcare ecosystem and contribute to the country’s efforts to improve healthcare accessibility, quality and outcomes over the medium to long term.
