Fortis Healthcare

Fortis Healthcare has strengthened its presence in southern India through the acquisition of People Tree Hospital for Rs. 430 crore, signaling a renewed push toward strategic expansion in high-growth urban healthcare markets. The transaction aligns with Fortis’ long-term strategy of scaling capacity through targeted acquisitions rather than greenfield projects. By integrating a well-established tertiary care facility into its network, Fortis aims to enhance patient reach, operational synergies and clinical depth.

Fortis Healthcare has strengthened its clinical offerings with the launch of a specialized mental healthcare facility, marking a significant step toward addressing India’s growing mental health needs. The new center is designed to provide comprehensive, patient-centric care for a wide range of psychological and psychiatric conditions. By integrating medical expertise, therapeutic support and modern infrastructure, Fortis aims to reduce the treatment gap in mental health services.

Fortis Healthcare delivered an impressive financial performance in the first quarter of FY26, reporting a 57% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit. The company attributed this growth to improved operational metrics, higher occupancy rates, and strategic cost controls. Revenues also witnessed a healthy rise, backed by a robust performance in the hospital and diagnostics segments.
