IHH Healthcare has recently identified India as a high-priority growth market. Consequently, the group aims to accelerate the Fortis Healthcare expansion to become a top private healthcare player. Group CEO Prem Kumar Nair announced plans to increase IHH’s stake in Fortis to 50% over the medium term. This strategic move follows the resolution of the mandatory tender offer. Moreover, the group believes this investment will strengthen its clinical footprint across Asia.
The group plans to increase its bed capacity to 10,000 in India by 2030. Furthermore, IHH has committed a capital expenditure of ₹2,500 crore for the next three years. This investment will primarily fund brownfield projects at existing facilities. For instance, expansion will target clusters in Punjab, Jalandhar, and Bengaluru. Additionally, the group will fully integrate Gleneagles into the Fortis network. Currently, the network spans 36 hospitals across the country.
Nair emphasized that growth must not compromise clinical quality. He believes that high-intensive-care beds are more valuable than a high volume of low-quality beds. Currently, Fortis operates with strong profitability levels. The group reports EBITDA margins between 23% and 24%. Therefore, the increased investment is expected to be earnings-per-share accretive. Meanwhile, IHH is also repositioning its diagnostics arm, Agilus, to focus on high-end genomics.
Q1: What is the target stake for IHH in Fortis?
IHH Healthcare aims to increase its shareholding in Fortis Healthcare to 50% over the medium term to drive long-term value.
Q2: How many beds does IHH plan to have in India?
The group targets a total of 10,000 beds in India by 2030 through strategic brownfield expansion and full network integration.
