Novo Holdings has made a significant minority investment in Surya Hospitals, the largest private women’s and children’s specialty hospital chain in Western India, strengthening its presence in India’s healthcare sector and reinforcing its focus on high-quality, specialised care.
Founded in 1984, Surya Hospitals has built a four-decade legacy in women’s, neonatal and paediatric healthcare. The group operates a network of superspecialty hospitals across Mumbai, Pune and Jaipur, and is widely regarded as a referral centre for complex maternal, neonatal and paediatric cases across Western India and neighbouring regions.
While maternal healthcare remains central to its operations, Surya Hospitals has evolved into a comprehensive superspecialty platform offering advanced care in complex gynaecology, neonatology, paediatrics and multiple surgical super-specialities.
The group is known for strong clinical outcomes, including neonatal survival rates exceeding 97 per cent, comparable with leading global benchmarks. Its care model is supported by advanced medical infrastructure, multidisciplinary clinical teams and a strong roster of senior specialists, including neonatologists, paediatricians and obstetricians.
Surya Hospitals also plays a significant role in medical education and training. It is an accredited teaching centre for several state and national programmes, contributing to the development of specialised clinical talent in maternal and child healthcare. All its facilities are accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), reflecting adherence to high standards of patient safety, clinical governance and quality of care.
Novo Holdings’ investment is expected to support Surya Hospitals’ next phase of growth, including expanding its hospital network across Western India, strengthening clinical infrastructure and building specialist medical teams. The partnership combines Surya’s established clinical leadership with Novo Holdings’ long-term investment approach and global healthcare expertise.
As part of the investment, senior representatives from Novo Holdings will join the Surya Hospitals board, strengthening governance and strategic oversight.
The deal adds to Novo Holdings’ growing healthcare portfolio in India, which includes investments across healthcare services, diagnostics and technology-enabled platforms. With a long-term investment horizon and an on-the-ground presence in India, Novo Holdings continues to back healthcare providers focused on scalable growth, strong governance and improved patient outcomes, particularly in areas of critical need such as women’s and children’s healthcare.
