Manipal Hospitals plans to add 750 beds in West Bengal and Odisha through both greenfield and brownfield projects, thus expanding its footprint in the East.

The expansion is planned over the next three to five years, and follows the hospital's acquisition of 84 percent stake in AMRI Hospitals which has raised its bed count in the East to around 2,000. AMRI Hospitals operates units in Kolkata and a single facility in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. 

The multi-speciality chain will establish at least three more hospitals, two in West Bengal and one in Odisha, and will help to successfully offer treatment within Kolkata for patients. 

For greenfield projects, a minimum of 250 beds will be put up, with an approx. investment of Rs 300 crore, excluding land and building costs. It has three ongoing greenfield projects in Bengaluru and one in Raipur that follow this model.

Manipal Hospitals has a capacity of 9,500 beds across the country.
