29 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Emami is scouting for acquisitions in the healthcare space to expand the footprint of its hospitals business in the country. AMRI Hospital, which is run by the Emami and Shrachi Groups along with the West Bengal government, is also in the process of investing Rs 400 crore to increase the number of beds it operates to around 1,500 this fiscal from 900 at present. 

While Emami controls a 66 per cent stake in AMRI, Kolkata-based developer Shrachi has a 30 per cent stake and the West Bengal government holds the remaining stake. It currently has three hospitals in West Bengal, while one more is coming up in Orissa. It is also looking to set up hospitals at Siliguri, Rajarhat, Ranchi, Patna and Raipur. On the back of the current expansion, the firm expects to achieve a turnover of Rs 1,000 crore from the hospitals business by next fiscal, up from Rs 300 crore at present.crackcrack
