The acquisition was carried out through its wholly owned subsidiary, International Hospital Ltd (IHL), and includes the hospital’s business operations, land and building. Suguna Hospital, commissioned in 2006, is a 110-bed facility on Dr Rajkumar Road in Rajajinagar, north-west Bengaluru, with potential to expand to around 150 beds. It recorded revenue of approximately Rs 50 crore in FY26. With this acquisition, Fortis gains access to around 500 potential beds in the north-western Bengaluru corridor across its existing Rajajinagar facility, People Tree Hospital in Yeshwanthpur, and Suguna Hospital. Fortis MD and CEO Dr Ashutosh Raghuvanshi said the company now has around 1,000 operational beds in Bengaluru, including O&M facilities. Fortis Healthcare shares closed 3.12% higher at Rs 759.50 on Wednesday. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both The Hindu Business Line and CNBC TV18 present the acquisition as a straightforward corporate transaction, offering identical facts: the Rs 277 crore price, the slump sale structure, the 110-bed facility, and the strategic rationale for the north-west Bengaluru corridor.
