As part of its plan for a pan-India foray in the healthcare sector, Reliance ADAG is planning to set up health cities or medical cities across the country. The company is learnt to be in talks to acquire land in Kolkata and Jaipur for the project.

According to industry estimates, each of these healthcities would require an investment of about $250 million or Rs 1,000 crore. When contacted, a Reliance ADAG spokesperson said, “We would not like to comment at this stage.”

Most of the leading Indian healthcare service providers such as Apollo Group, Fortis Healthcare and Hinduja Group among others have chalked out plans for medicities.
