DLF is on the verge of inking a 26:74
joint venture with Fortis Healthcare for setting up hospitals in its
200-acre-plus integrated townships across the country, with an investment of
around Rs.6,000 crore.
The proposed joint venture company,
likely to be christened - Fortis Specialty Hospitals - is looking to set
up 31 hospitals in cities such as Chennai, Bangalore, Jaipur and Kolkata. The
250-400 bed hospitals will have a minimum built-up area of 20,000 sq.mt (or 2.15
lakh sq.ft).
According to the proposed joint
venture, DLF will provide the land and oversee the construction of the proposed
hospitals. Fortis will operate and manage the hospitals under the Fortis banner.
