In a significant move poised to reshape healthcare access in Eastern India, Fortis Healthcare Limited (NSE: FORTIS) has announced a strategic expansion into Odisha. The healthcare giant cemented its presence with an Operations and Management (O&M) agreement for a new 300-bed multi-specialty hospital in Cuttack, partnering with the Dion Group, a prominent real estate and infrastructure developer in the state.

This greenfield project, slated for Dion Riverside Township, Trishulia, marks Fortis Healthcare’s inaugural major foray into Odisha. The upcoming facility is strategically positioned within the rapidly developing Cuttack-Bhubaneswar corridor, aiming to serve as a comprehensive tertiary care destination not just for Odisha but also for neighboring regions.
