Medanta, a private multi-speciality tertiary care provider operating in the North and East regions of India, announced its entry into the North East with its plan to establish a super-speciality hospital in Guwahati. The Board of Directors have approved the purchase of 3 acres of land from Assam Electricity Grid Corporation for Rs 30 crore plus incidental expenses for registration and possession of the land.
The Board has also approved plans to invest approximately Rs. 500 crores, including the cost of land, in developing a 400-bed super-speciality hospital. The proposed site is located on National Highway 27 and aims to offer seamless connectivity across the entire Northeast region. This expansion aims to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and will serve over 50 million people across Assam and its neighbouring states. Medanta’s foray into the region will be transformative, bringing world-class medical expertise, cutting-edge technology and comprehensive care across more than 20 super specialities, including transplants and advanced robotic procedures.
Naresh Trehan, Chairman and Managing Director, Medanta, shared, “At the Advantage Assam 2.0 Summit, I emphasised the need to bring world-class healthcare to the North East, a region that has long been underserved. Today, with the Board’s approval to acquire land in Guwahati and our plans to build a 400-bed super specialty hospital, we are taking a decisive step toward fulfilling that vision.”
Pankaj Sahni, Group CEO, Medanta, said, “The North East region is rich in cultural diversity but continues to face a significant gap in access to high-quality healthcare. Guwahati, often regarded as the gateway to the North East, offers strong connectivity across the entire region and is ideally positioned to address this critical need.”
