Aster DM Healthcare lines up Rs 1,900 crore capex to expand presence
Bengaluru: Aster DM Healthcare has lined up Rs 1,900 crore to expand its hospital network across India. This strategic expansion aims to increase its total bed capacity to 13,600 by the 2026-27 financial year, positioning Aster as one of the top healthcare providers in the country.
"The merger between Aster DM Healthcare and Quality Care India unlocks significant synergies that will drive growth, operational efficiency, and enhanced patient care across the combined network. As part of our expansion strategy in India, the merged entity plans to add 3,300 beds organically. Of these, around 2,100 beds will be added by Aster and the remaining by QCIL. The total capex outlay is Rs 1,878 crore, of which Rs 323 crore was already spent so far in the 2025 fiscal," said Dr Azad Moopen, founder and chairman of Aster DM Healthcare.
Of the 2,100 beds planned for Aster's India expansion, Bengaluru will get 939 new beds, including the upcoming hospital on Sarjapur Road, strengthening Aster's position among the city's top three healthcare providers. Moopen said 818 beds will be added in Kerala over the next three years, anchored by two greenfield projects—Aster Kasargod (264 beds) and Trivandrum (454 beds). In Hyderabad, a 300-bed women and children's hospital will be commissioned soon.
