Lilavati Hospital Plans 5,000 New Beds, Kazakhstan Facility Opening 2026
A big hospital in Mumbai called Lilavati Hospital wants to help many more people.
It plans to add about 5,000 new beds in India and other countries over the next two years.
In India, it will open new facilities in Ahmedabad, Indore and Delhi, starting with Ahmedabad.
It also plans to expand internationally, with facilities in Kazakhstan, Oman and other places.
Its first hospital outside India will be a special clinic in Kazakhstan, opening in early September 2026.
That clinic will see patients for check-ups and specialist advice, but won't have overnight beds at first.
Patients with very serious conditions will be sent to the main hospital in Mumbai for advanced care.
The hospital hopes Kazakhstan will be its doorway to Central Asia and other international markets.
Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre plans to add around 5,000 new beds across India and international markets over the next two years.
New facilities in India are planned for Ahmedabad, Indore and Delhi, with Ahmedabad set to open first.
The hospital's first international facility will be a super-speciality OPD in Kazakhstan, launching in early September 2026.
The Kazakhstan centre will offer outpatient consultations and specialist advice, while complex cases will be referred to Mumbai for advanced care.
International expansion also includes Oman and other overseas locations, with Kazakhstan positioned as the hospital's gateway to Central Asia.
