Abstract

The ability of Indian private healthcare system to deliver healthcare services is an important part of delivering healthcare in this country, however, the development of sustainable delivery models like Ayushman Bharat, green hospital initiative and CSR requirements coming from corporations pose both challenges and opportunities for financial success for this industry. This paper uses a systematic review of secondary data to look into the effects of sustainable practices on profitability of private Indian hospitals. This study uses thematic synthesis of government reports, big hospitals financial reports and published research work from the years 2015 to 2024 to examine revenue dynamics, financial impact and regional variations. There are many evidences which shows that although there is increase in operating expenditure due to sustainable healthcare policies but in long run it boosts profitability by enhanced patient volume and goodwill. This study analyses the combined financial impact of various sustainable policies like Ayushman Bharat, CSR rules and green initiatives. The study highlights the urgent need for evidence-based policy responses in encouraging private healthcare fiscal sustainability. The results are useful blueprints for hospital managers and policymakers who care to balance sustainability with economic profitability in India's healthcare industry.
