The Adani Group has announced it will construct a 1,000-bed hospital and medical college each in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in partnership with US-based medical centre Mayo Clinic. 

The Gautam Adani-led ports-to-energy conglomerate plans to invest Rs 6,000 crore to build the two integrated health campuses, which will be called Adani Health Cities.

The Mumbai campus, located in Kandivali, will be the largest private hospital in Mumbai. At present, the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute in Andheri West is the largest medical facility in Mumbai, with a capacity of 750 beds. 

The civic-owned SevenHills Hospital in Andheri East has a capacity to expand to 1,500 beds, but currently operates only 400 due to an ongoing dispute in the National Company Law Tribunal.

The Adani Group plans to build more such campuses in cities and towns across India. They will provide affordable, world-class medical care and medical education, according to a press statement. The initiative will be implemented through the conglomerate’s not-for-profit healthcare arm.
