Manipal Hospitals has acquired Sahyadri Hospitals, a regional chain in Maharashtra, adding 11 facilities and expanding its presence in Western India.
The acquisition strengthens Manipal's position with 49 hospitals and over 12,000 beds, making it one of India's largest hospital chains.
Sahyadri's focused regional strategy in Maharashtra, a compelling healthcare market, made it an attractive asset for national chains looking to scale regionally.
The acquisition is part of a broader trend of consolidation in India's healthcare industry, with M&A becoming a preferred method to expand and improve patient outcomes.
