The Bajaj Group has announced its entry into India’s healthcare sector with an investment of ?2,000–?2,500 crore to build an integrated healthcare network. This move marks a major diversification for the long-established business group as it looks to expand beyond its traditional sectors.
The new venture, Bajaj Integrated Health Systems, aims to create a connected healthcare ecosystem rather than relying only on hospitals. The plan includes setting up multispecialty hospitals, neighbourhood clinics, day-care centres, and home healthcare services. The idea is to offer patients treatment across different stages of care in a more accessible and efficient way.
Nirav Bajaj, who will lead the initiative, highlighted that a large portion of healthcare needs—around 70–80%—can be managed outside hospitals. By focusing on clinics and home-based care, the group hopes to reduce costs, improve convenience, and deliver better patient outcomes.

The project will begin in Pune, where a flagship hospital along with several outpatient care and day-care centres is expected to be launched by the end of the year. After that, the group plans to expand to Mumbai within the next three to four years, followed by other major cities. Over time, the goal is to build a strong presence across India.
The investment will initially be funded through internal resources and promoter capital. However, as the network grows, the total investment could increase significantly in the coming years, strengthening India’s healthcare infrastructure.
In a notable approach, doctors working within this network will not be given revenue-based targets. Instead, their performance will be measured based on quality of care, clinical outcomes, and patient satisfaction. This reflects the group’s focus on building trust and maintaining high standards in healthcare delivery.
The Bajaj Group also plans to explore synergies with its insurance business to design products that cover day-care treatments and outpatient services, which are still underdeveloped in India.
With this initiative, the group aims to tap into the growing demand for affordable healthcare, accessible healthcare, and well-connected healthcare services, positioning healthcare as a key area of future growth.
