The filing stated that there is also an option agreement proposed for the acquisition of the remaining equity stake of roughly 36%.

JHL owns a 100-bed hospital in Anoopshahar, which is not currently operational.  

For the fiscal year 2023-2024, the company reported revenue of Rs4.21bn and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of Rs700m.

The transaction is expected to be completed within the next 30 days, following the revival plan approved by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).

This plan aims to sustain Jaypee Hospitals’ operations by enhancing operational efficiency and building stakeholder confidence.

Max Healthcare Institute chairman and managing director Abhay Soi said: “The addition of Jaypee Healthcare to the network is an important milestone in our journey to build a formidable presence in NCR, a region which is not only home to 46 million people but also plays a pivotal role in shaping the Indian economy as an economic hub.

“We are excited to build upon the legacy of Jaypee Hospitals and leverage our combined expertise to further enhance patient care and expand access to quaternary healthcare services.”

With Max Healthcare as a strategic partner, JHL is poised for potential growth and continued community service.

Max Healthcare operates 20 healthcare facilities, including tertiary and quaternary care hospitals, secondary care hospitals, and medical centres across North India.
