Hospital Tenders in India: Active Contracts & Leads

Projects India currently tracks 2,686 upcoming hospital projects across the country, of which 202 are fully verified with primary-source documentation and a combined recorded project cost of about Rs 2.69 lakh crore. Four new projects were added to our database in the 90 days before 18 October 2026, double the rate of the prior 90-day period, pointing to a steady acceleration in fresh hospital tenders in India across both government and private promoters.

Hospital projects in India at a glance

Largest hospital tenders in India by recorded cost

The table below lists the highest-value upcoming hospital projects in our database as of 18 October 2026. These represent EPC, civil and specialist-fit-out packages that are either already tendered or approaching the market shortly.

Several patterns emerge from these figures. AIIMS alone accounts for multiple entries across Haryana, Delhi, West Bengal, Jammu & Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, making the institution one of the single largest generators of hospital construction value in the country. Private-sector investment is visible too: BRS Medicity's Rs 5,450 crore Amaravati project and KPC Medical College's Rs 1,650 crore Kolkata expansion both sit under approvals, signalling imminent tendering activity. The Mangalagiri AIIMS project carries a completion date of December 2026, which means remaining packages — MEP, medical-gas, finishing — are likely to be in the market immediately. Contractors and suppliers tracking hospital projects in India should treat these as priority accounts.

Where hospital tenders are concentrated: a state-by-state view

As the chart below shows, Maharashtra and Karnataka together account for nearly 700 of the 2,686 upcoming projects our database tracks in this scope — a share that reflects both population size and the relatively mature private hospital investment climate in both states.

For teams targeting hospital tenders in Maharashtra, the Public Works Department is the dominant government client with 105 projects and a combined recorded cost of about Rs 3,423 crore. Activity spans district hospitals, primary health centres and medical college upgrades; sub-Rs 50 crore packages are common, making this market accessible to mid-tier civil contractors as well as large EPC firms.

Karnataka is led by the Health and Family Welfare Department, which carries 219 projects — the highest count of any single promoter in the entire scope — at a combined recorded cost of about Rs 4,030 crore. West Bengal (149 projects) is notable for the AIIMS Kalyani campus already under construction at Rs 1,754 crore, alongside the Rs 1,650 crore KPC Medical College expansion in Kolkata, giving the state outsized value relative to its project count. Suppliers looking at upcoming hospital projects in Kolkata should monitor both sites for specialist subcontracts in medical imaging, HVAC, modular operation theatres and waste-treatment systems.

Uttar Pradesh (190 projects) is anchored by government agencies including UP Projects Corporation Limited and Uttar Pradesh Rajkiya Nirman Nigam, the latter carrying about Rs 7,437 crore across 48 projects — the highest cost-per-project ratio among the most active promoters. Odisha (166), Assam (135) and Bihar (123) represent strong pipeline states for contractors willing to operate in Tier-2 and Tier-3 geographies. The Ministry of Ayush's 58 projects at a combined cost of about Rs 2,715 crore add a distinct segment — Ayurveda and wellness facilities — that calls for different procurement and fitout suppliers than a conventional acute-care hospital.

Our database does not currently show a dedicated Kerala state breakdown in the top-ten counts, but teams targeting hospital tenders in Kerala and hospital tenders in Rajasthan will find relevant listings by using the state filter on our upcoming projects database.

Project stages: what the pipeline means for buyers and sellers

The stage distribution matters because it determines what suppliers and contractors can actually sell right now, as the chart below shows.

With 1,502 projects Under Approvals and 361 in Planning, the majority of the pipeline is pre-tender. These are the accounts for business-development teams to map now: consultants, project-management firms, structural engineers and medical planners are the right entry point at this stage. Equipment vendors — imaging, CSSD, modular OT, building automation — can begin specification conversations with architects and hospital planners long before formal tenders are issued.

The 723 projects already under construction represent the most immediate commercial opportunity. At this stage the main civil contract is typically awarded, but MEP, medical-gas pipelines, elevators, HVAC, flooring, fire-fighting, CCTV, nurse-call and furniture packages are actively being procured. Suppliers with the right approvals on architects' or consultants' preferred-vendor lists are best placed to convert these leads quickly. The 23 projects nearly complete and 18 with approvals received represent a transitional segment — final fitout, commissioning services, biomedical equipment and facility-management contracts are the relevant categories here.

Recently added hospital projects worth watching

Four hospital projects entered our database in the 90 days before 18 October 2026, two of them carrying substantial recorded costs:

• Max Healthcare Institute Limited — Rs 1,400 crore hospital at Shaheed Path, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (Under Approvals). This is a major private-sector addition to the UP pipeline and will generate significant civil, MEP and medical-equipment packages once tendered.
• Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) — Rs 1,000 crore hospital at Villupuram, Sedarapet, Puducherry (Under Approvals). A government-backed institution project that will follow central procurement norms; GeM and CPP portal tenders are likely.
• BLDE Association — Super Speciality Hospital expansion at Solapur Road, Vijayapura, Karnataka (Under Approvals, cost not yet recorded). The Shri B.M. Patil hospital expansion is a private medical-college institution project; watch for specialist clinical-equipment and civil tenders.
• Brigade Enterprises Limited — Rs 90 crore hospital at Aero Park, Bengaluru, Karnataka (Construction Started). Already on-site; MEP and internal-fitout packages are likely in the market now or shortly.

These four projects illustrate the range of hospital tender activity: a Rs 1,400 crore greenfield from a listed private-hospital chain, a Rs 1,000 crore government medical-institution project, a private-college expansion, and an Rs 90 crore urban hospital already breaking ground. Contractors and suppliers who spotted these early — before the formal tender notices appeared — had time to qualify with the promoter, identify the PMC and position proposals. Our free sample project report shows the level of detail available for each tracked project.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The Rs 2.69 lakh crore pipeline is not a single market — it is several overlapping procurement cycles running simultaneously, each requiring a different go-to-market posture.

• Civil and EPC contractors should prioritise the 723 projects under construction for immediate subcontract leads, and the 1,502 under approvals for pre-qualification and relationship-building with PMCs. State PWDs in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha collectively run several hundred government hospital packages, many in the Rs 10–100 crore range suited to regional contractors. See our related guide on hospital construction contractors in India for procurement-process context.
• Medical-equipment and technology vendors should focus on projects approaching construction completion and those in the approvals stage where specification decisions are made. AIIMS campuses follow Ministry of Health procurement rules; state-government hospitals typically procure through state medical services corporations such as Telangana State Medical Services and Infrastructure, which our records show has 62 active projects.
• Consultants and architects find their entry point earliest — at Planning and Early/Announced stages. The 361 planning-stage and 36 early/announced projects are the right targets for design-services proposals.
• B2B sales teams targeting private chains such as Max Healthcare or corporate developers such as Brigade should track the Under Approvals column, since purchase decisions for branded medical equipment often begin well before a shovel enters the ground.

The Ministry of Ayush's 58 projects at about Rs 2,715 crore are a distinct and often overlooked niche: they call for Ayurvedic pharmacy equipment, panchakarma fitouts and specialised HVAC rather than conventional acute-care procurement. Suppliers in that sub-segment will find less competition than in mainstream hospital tenders.

How to track hospital tenders in India

Monitoring 2,686 projects manually across dozens of state PWD portals, central health ministry notifications and private-company announcements is not practical. Projects India aggregates verified project intelligence — promoter contacts, project stage, estimated cost, PMC details and procurement timeline — in one searchable database. Teams can filter by state, stage, cost band and promoter type to build a shortlist relevant to their geography and capacity.

The full hospital projects listing is updated continuously; the live government tenders section carries active tender notices with deadlines and issuing authorities. For teams that want to understand the platform before subscribing, a projects intelligence overview and a free sample project report are available. Contractors already in the sector may also find the contractor and supplier directory (VendorConnect) useful for identifying potential consortium partners or sub-vendors on larger hospital packages.
