Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU) has expanded into Odisha with a new hospital in Bhubaneswar, backed by a ₹100 crore commitment from Asia Healthcare Holdings (AHH) as the specialty hospital chain plans to reach 10 facilities by the end of FY27.
The Bhubaneswar facility is AINU’s eighth hospital in India and marks the chain’s entry into Odisha. The latest commitment takes AHH’s cumulative investment in AINU to ₹750 crore, according to the company.
The hospital provides specialised services in nephrology, urology, uro-oncology, kidney transplantation, dialysis, paediatric urology, andrology and reconstructive urology. Its infrastructure includes a 12-station haemodialysis unit, three dedicated operation theatres, advanced laser systems, 3D laparoscopy, an in-house 32-slice CT scanner and video urodynamics.
The expansion comes as AHH focuses on increasing capacity, strengthening its clinical workforce and adding robotic surgery capabilities across the network. Vishal Bali, executive director of AHH, said the group had added 300 beds, enhanced robotic technology and strengthened clinical talent after acquiring AINU.
“Post the acquisition, we have added 300 beds, enhanced robotic technology and strengthened clinical talent,” Bali said, according to the company statement reported by The Hindu BusinessLine.
The Bhubaneswar investment is part of AHH’s strategy to increase its presence in eastern India. Bali said the group was on track to close FY27 with a network of 10 hospitals, which would expand the chain’s reach across the country.
AINU’s service mix places the Bhubaneswar facility within a specialised healthcare segment requiring operating theatres, diagnostic equipment, dialysis capacity and clinicians trained in complex kidney and urinary-system care. The hospital’s listed facilities include dedicated infrastructure for both routine treatment and advanced procedures, including kidney transplantation, laser-based interventions and minimally invasive surgery.
The 12-station haemodialysis unit is a key component of the hospital’s capacity. Dialysis services require regular, repeated access for patients and depend on dedicated clinical space, equipment and supporting medical staff. The facility also includes three operation theatres, allowing AINU to provide surgical care alongside consultations, diagnostics and dialysis.
AHH’s planned network expansion will take place alongside investments in robotic surgery and clinical talent, according to Bali. The company has not disclosed in the supplied announcement the investment split between the Bhubaneswar hospital, capacity expansion, technology and workforce development.
The announcement also does not specify the hospital’s total bed capacity, opening date, expected patient volumes or the precise timeline for the two additional facilities needed to reach the 10-hospital target. Those details will determine how quickly the expansion translates into additional specialised care capacity in Odisha and other eastern Indian markets.
For Bhubaneswar, the facility adds a specialised hospital offering across nephrology and urology, including dialysis, transplantation and uro-oncology. AHH’s stated next milestone is to close FY27 with a 10-hospital AINU network, supported by further capacity, clinical talent and robotic surgery investments.
