Medanta, one of India’s leading multispecialty healthcare groups, has entered the Northeast market with the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony for its upcoming 400+ bed super-speciality hospital in Guwahati. The ceremony, held on October 31, was attended by Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma as guest of honour, along with Medanta Chairman & Managing Director Dr. Naresh Trehan and Group CEO Pankaj Sahni.
Located at the Sarusajai Industrial Estate along NH-27, the ₹500-crore facility will offer comprehensive tertiary and quaternary care, including advanced transplant services, robotic procedures, cardiology, neurology, oncology, trauma care, and a full suite of diagnostics and preventive programmes. The project is also expected to generate 5,000–7,000 jobs, spanning medical, administrative, and support roles.
Dr. Trehan said the Northeast has long required advanced medical infrastructure, adding that the new hospital reinforces Medanta’s mission to make quality healthcare accessible to all. CEO Pankaj Sahni highlighted Guwahati’s strategic advantage as the gateway to the Northeast, with access to over 50 million people.
Guwahati note increasing demand for advanced healthcare due to rising lifestyle diseases and patient outflow to metros like Delhi and Mumbai. Medanta’s entry is expected to strengthen the city’s position as a regional medical hub, boost medical tourism within the Northeast, and create new opportunities in healthcare and allied services.
