Manipal Hospitals is poised to acquire Pune-based Sahyadri Hospitals in a landmark transaction valued at approximately Rs. 6,400 crore. The acquisition—among the largest in India’s healthcare sector in recent years—reflects Manipal’s strategic ambition to expand its footprint in western India, particularly in Maharashtra. With this move, Manipal will significantly enhance its bed capacity and gain access to Sahyadri’s well-established network and medical expertise.
