The operational bed capacity stands at around 250 beds, with an expected revenue of ₹200 crore in FY24.

Max Healthcare plans to integrate its medical programs, including oncology and organ transplants, while reinforcing existing initiatives such as orthopedics, cardiac sciences, neurosciences, and renal sciences. Abhay Soi, the Chairman and Managing Director of Max Healthcare, expressed that this acquisition aligns with their strategy to enter new Tier I / II cities with well-established healthcare services ecosystems.

Crosslay Remedies, Max Healthcare’s subsidiary, already owns and operates Max Super Speciality Hospital in Vaishali and Max Medical Centre in Noida. Acquired in July 2015 as part of the Pushpanjali Crosslay Hospital acquisition, Crosslay Remedies has contributed to Max Healthcare’s growth.

As of now, Max Healthcare has a concentrated presence in North India, boasting a network of 17 healthcare facilities. Among these, eight hospitals and four medical centers are situated in Delhi and the NCR region, while others are located in Mumbai, Mohali, Bathinda, and Dehradun. This acquisition aligns with Max Healthcare’s commitment to enhancing healthcare services in new geographies, leveraging its successful post-merger integration track record and the expertise of its clinicians.
