Fortis Healthcare Limited announced that the Supreme Court of India disposed of the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the company on September 25, 2026. This petition challenged the Delhi High Court's order regarding a forensic audit and certain observations concerning Fortis. IHH Healthcare, a major stakeholder, reiterated its position that its subsidiary, Northern TK Venture Pte Ltd (NTK), acquired its stake in Fortis in 2018 through a transparent, regulated bidding process, obtaining all necessary corporate, shareholder, and regulatory approvals. IHH's investment of ₹4,000 crore (31% stake) was via a preferential allotment of newly issued shares, with no secondary shares acquired from former promoters.
IHH emphasized that it was not a party to the dispute between Daiichi Sankyo and judgment debtors, despite suffering losses due to delays in mandatory tender offer approvals. IHH expressed confidence that a forensic audit would establish the facts of the transaction. The company reaffirmed its commitment to India as a key strategic market, with plans to increase its stake in Fortis to 51% over the next three to five years, integrate platforms, and expand capacity to approximately 10,000 beds by 2031.
