Fortis was quoted by the Bombay Stock Exchange as stating: “No firm proposal which is commercially viable was received and no agreement (binding or non-binding) has been reached with any of these parties in connection with the potential transactions or any other transaction involving RHT and RHTTM.

“Pursuant to an open invitation to interested parties to submit proposals in connection with the potential transactions, a process to evaluate proposals was undertaken with professional advisers, and preliminary discussions were held with certain third parties concerning the potential transactions.”

Fortis further stated: “Since the bidding process to explore the potential transaction was inconclusive, it was decided to close the bidding and search process”.

Fortis has a total stake of 27.82% in RHT, of which 25.14% is held by Fortis Healthcare International Ltd and 2.68% by the trustee-manager RHTTM, which is a Stellant unit. Fortis Healthcare directly or indirectly owns FHIL and Stellant..
