The Bajaj Group, known for its diverse business interests, is diversifying into healthcare with an investment of ₹2,000-2,500 crore (approximately $240-300 million USD) to establish the Bajaj Integrated Health Systems (BIHS). This initiative aims to create a nationwide integrated healthcare network that includes hospitals, day clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and home care services. The first facility, a large multispecialty hospital, is set to open in Pune, India, by the end of December, with plans for a similar setup in Mumbai within the next 3-4 years. Over the next 10-15 years, the Bajaj Group intends to expand its footprint across major Indian cities.

Nirav Bajaj, MD & CEO of BIHS and a member of the Bajaj family, emphasized that the new healthcare model will prioritize outpatient care, stating that 70-80% of healthcare needs can be addressed outside of hospitals. The group plans to hire 500 staff members, including doctors and paramedics, by the end of the year. Additionally, the Bajaj Group aims to leverage its existing insurance businesses to create tailored products for outpatient services, addressing gaps in India's healthcare insurance ecosystem. This venture is expected to evolve into a significant part of the Bajaj Group's portfolio, enhancing its commitment to nation-building.
