Tata Group is investing ₹500 crore in Breach Candy Hospital, strengthening its presence in Mumbai’s healthcare sector. This move makes Tata the hospital’s largest financial backer and gives it three seats on the 14-member board of trustees. From October 1, 2025, Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran will take over as chairman from Deepak Parekh.
Hospital’s Legacy and Growth
Founded in 1946, Breach Candy Hospital has long been associated with Mumbai’s elite. It introduced India’s first MRI facility in 1998 and has treated prominent figures like Amitabh Bachchan, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Dhirubhai Ambani. The Tata investment will support infrastructure upgrades, medical equipment, and a new hospital tower.
Ratan Tata’s Connection
Ratan Tata had a long-standing bond with Breach Candy, receiving treatment there and donating through Tata Trusts. His relationship with the hospital has now been formalized under Tata Sons’ official partnership.
Tata’s Growing Healthcare Presence
This is Tata Group’s third major healthcare project in Mumbai, following Tata Memorial Centre for cancer treatment and an animal hospital in Mahalaxmi. The investment also positions Tata among major business groups like Reliance, Hinduja, Birla, and Raheja in the city’s healthcare sector.
Competition from Adani Group
Tata’s move comes as Adani Group plans a 1,000-bed hospital and medical college in Kandivli, marking its entry into Mumbai’s healthcare industry.
