India’s hospital sector is experiencing a surge in deal-making, driven by rising healthcare demand, medical tourism, and increased insurance penetration. Hospitals now account for 50% of healthcare FDI, reaching USD 1.5 billion in FY24, up from 24% in FY21. Private equity firms like Temasek, Blackstone, and Carlyle are actively investing. This shift highlights a preference for hospitals over pharmaceuticals and diagnostics.
