Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman, Aster DM Healthcare said, “The current Indian healthcare market looks promising and post segregation now, our efforts will be to dynamically increase our footprint in India.

The dividend distribution plan aims to reward shareholders for their long-held trust and investment in the company. Aster DM Healthcare remains committed to transparency and regulatory compliance throughout the process.”
As the Indian entity is now separate from its GCC counterpart, the Company plans to add 1700 beds by FY27 through the organic route and will further look for expansion through the inorganic route as well.
Through both greenfield and brownfield opportunities, the company aim to take its total bed tally in India to 6600+ in the next 3 years and scale up its labs and pharmacy business to emerge as the top 3 integrated healthcare providers in India.
The plan will encompass a mix of brownfield and greenfield projects, including the upcoming Aster Capital in Trivandrum, and Aster MIMS Kasargod and adding bed capacity to the existing hospitals.
