Fortis Healthcare Limited has announced the approval of a composite scheme of merger by absorption for its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Fortis Emergency Services Limited (FESL), Fortis Cancer Care Limited (FCCL), Fortis Health Management (East) Limited (FHMEL), and Birdie & Birdie Realtors Private Limited (B&B). The scheme involves their amalgamation into Fortis Hospitals Limited (FHsL).

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi, approved the scheme on January 5, 2026, followed by the NCLT, Chandigarh's approval on January 16, 2026. The appointed date for this Scheme of Arrangement is April 01, 2022.

The merger aims to rationalize operational efficiencies, reduce administrative and managerial overheads, and simplify the management structure and financial reporting, ultimately leading to cost rationalization. The transaction does not involve any cash consideration or share exchange, as the transferor companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of FHsL, and their shareholding will be cancelled upon merger.

The scheme will become effective upon the filing of the certified copies of the NCLT orders with the jurisdictional Registrar of Companies. This announcement continues from a previous intimation dated April 8, 2022.
