With the expansion, the hospital’s total bed capacity will rise from 380 to 539 beds
Aster DM Healthcare announced a Rs 96 crore expansion of its dedicated women and children care facility at Aster Whitefield Hospital, Bengaluru, strengthening its long-standing healthcare presence in the city. The development was disclosed through an NSE filing under Regulation 30.
With the expansion, the hospital’s total bed capacity will rise from 380 to 539 beds, adding a 159-bed specialised Aster Women & Children centre focused on end-to-end maternal, neonatal and paediatric care. The new facility will offer services spanning preconception counselling, maternity, water birthing, advanced laparoscopic gynaecology, fetal medicine and surgery, fertility services, Level 3A NICU, paediatric surgery, and PICU/HDU support.
The expanded unit was inaugurated in the presence of Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, Karnataka Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader, and other senior state leaders, underscoring the strategic significance of the investment in Bengaluru’s growing healthcare ecosystem.
Commenting on the development, Dr Azad Moopen, Founder and Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, said the company remains focused on scaling specialised centres of excellence as demand for high-quality maternal and paediatric care rises. He added that the Whitefield expansion reflects Aster’s commitment to advanced infrastructure and integrated care delivery for mothers and children under one roof.
Aster said the Whitefield expansion, alongside its upcoming 500-bed Yeshwantpur hospital and 430-bed Sarjapur facility, will take its total capacity in Karnataka to 2,573 beds, reinforcing its ambition to rank among the top three private healthcare providers in the state.
Across India, Aster currently operates 20 hospitals with 5,451 beds, along with clinics, pharmacies, and diagnostic labs across five states.
