India Plans Expanded Healthcare and Senior Living Services Amid Growing Elderly Population
India's elderly population is projected to double by 2050, prompting government efforts to expand healthcare, caregiving, and senior living services. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment operates around 800 care homes and offers free treatment under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY for seniors aged 70 and above. The senior living market is expected to reach $10.1 billion by 2030, driven by rising demand for housing, assisted care, and healthcare services, highlighting the need for policy support and investment.
