Aster DM Healthcare Plans Expansion to 15,000 Beds by FY30 Post Quality Care Merger

Aster DM Healthcare plans to expand its capacity to 15,000 beds by fiscal year 2029-30, driven by organic growth and its merger with Blackstone-backed Quality Care India. The combined entity aims to operate over 39 hospitals across 28 cities, targeting annual revenue growth above 20% and improving profit margins by 200-300 basis points from the current 21%. Deputy Managing Director Alisha Moopen highlighted a potential talent shortage as a key challenge amid this rapid expansion.
