IHH Healthcare Plans to Raise Fortis Stake to 51% and Expand Capacity by 2031
Malaysia-based IHH Healthcare plans to increase its stake in Fortis Healthcare to 51% within three to five years and expand Fortis's bed capacity to around 10,000 by 2031. This follows the Supreme Court of India's September 2026 decision disposing of Fortis's petition challenging a Delhi High Court order for a forensic audit. IHH affirmed full cooperation with the audit and expressed confidence in an independent review of its 2018 investment. The company also emphasized its long-term commitment to India's healthcare sector.
