BENGALURU: Bengaluru-based Nova IVF on Friday announced the launch of its 100th clinic in Jammu, as part of its expansion into tier-2 and tier-3 regions.

With this launch, the fertility facility chain has expanded its presence to 28 centres across 21 cities in northern India, with the rest of its centres located in south, central, and eastern India, the company said in a statement.

"The growth and expansion of Nova IVF are in tandem with the growing need for fertility care in India. In 2019, when Asia Healthcare Holdings acquired Nova IVF, we had 19 IVF centres. Now, this has reached 100 centres," Shobhit Agarwal, CEO of Nova IVF, was quoted as saying.

He added, "We are present in 63 cities across the country and are continuing to expand our footprint to be closer to the community and fulfil their parenthood needs." Nova IVF further said it plans to expand to 15 more locations, including Haldwani, Jaipur, Junagadh, Jamnagar, Srikakulam, Nellore, Tirupati, Kanpur, Meerut, Saharanpur, Bhubaneswar, and others.
