India's largest private hospital in Faridabad
The first phase of 2,400-bed Amrita Hospitals in Faridabad, a jumbo facility spread over 133 acres of land and touted as India's largest private hospital, is set to become operational this August with 500 beds.
With a total built-up area of 10 million square feet, the sprawling facility has been under construction since 2016.

The total project cost for the jumbo facility is estimated to be over Rs 2,000 crore and the medical college attached to it will annually accommodate 150 MBBS students and 100 postgraduate (MS/MD) students.
Importantly, the hospital with 534 critical care beds will also have the largest intensive and critical care unit in the country.
This is the second large-scale Amrita hospital in India after the 1,200-bed center in Kochi, Kerala, which was established 25 years ago by Mata Amritanandamayi Math, a spiritual and humanitarian organization.

"When we set out to set up the hospital, the idea was not to come up with the largest private hospital in India," said Dr Prem Nair, Group Medical Director, Amrita Hospitals, at the hospital's pre-launch event in June. 16, "But as we also focused on building an academic and research center for doctors and allied health professionals, the facility turned into a bigger project."
As of now, the 3,025-bed Government Medical College in Kozhikode is the largest government hospital in India, while the 2,305-bed Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore is the largest private hospital.
