Fortis Healthcare (ISIN INE061F01013) was trading at INR 822.00 on the NSE on September 29, 2026 at 3:15 p.m. IST, while its market capitalization stood at INR 620.6 billion. As ScanX reports, IHH Healthcare will cooperate with the Supreme Court ordered forensic audit concerning Fortis Healthcare.

Audit risk meets expansion plans

The audit relates to Fortis Healthcare's historical ownership and transaction disputes, while IHH has outlined a longer-term capacity strategy for the hospital operator. ScanX says IHH plans to increase Fortis Healthcare's network to 10,000 beds by 2031.

The combination creates two distinct valuation signals: legal scrutiny affects the risk discount, while bed additions offer a measurable route to future capacity. IHH's stated cooperation keeps the audit as the immediate counter-factor to Fortis Healthcare's operating expansion.

Q1 revenue rises 8.04 percent

According to Upstox, consolidated revenue reached INR 2,559.50 crore in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with INR 2,369.06 crore in the previous quarter. The 8.04 percent increase was accompanied by operating profit of INR 363.18 crore, up 12.02 percent from INR 324.20 crore.

Profit growth was more restrained: net profit rose to INR 272.80 crore from INR 271.19 crore, a 0.59 percent increase. That gap between operating profit and net profit makes margin delivery and financing costs important indicators alongside the company's physical expansion.

Stock valuation and yearly range

Fortis Healthcare traded at INR 822.00 on the NSE on September 29, 2026 at 3:15 p.m. IST. The stock's 52-week range was INR 766.80 to INR 1,104.30, leaving the current level above the yearly low and below the yearly high.

The company describes its platform as an integrated healthcare provider with 27 facilities, 4,300 operational beds and 400 diagnostic centers, according to its Fortis Healthcare investor-relations page. For investors, the key tension is measurable earnings growth against the legal process surrounding the group's historical ownership structure.

Market capitalization remains measurable

Fortis Healthcare's market capitalization was INR 620.6 billion on September 29, 2026. The NSE listing trades under ticker FORTIS, giving the audit developments and the Q1 operating comparison a direct market valuation context.
