Havells Parent Company Acquires Central Hospital and Research Centre

QRG Enterprises, the parent company of the $1 billion global electricals major, Havells India Ltd, has acquired a majority stake of 70 per cent in Central Hospital and Research Centre (CHRC) at Rs 30 crore. Based at Faridabad, it is a 140-bed super-speciality hospital offering speciality care in neurosurgery, plastic surgery and knee-joint replacement surgery.

Commenting on this move, Sanjeev Gupta, Head of Operations, CHRC, said, "We are well-equipped to cater to the growing demand for quality healthcare facilities in and around the Delhi and NCR region. With QRG Group coming on board, we are all set to create new benchmarks. It's a turning point for us and we look forward to emerging as a leading player in the healthcare business."

Reflecting on the development, Qimat Rai Gupta, CMD, QRG Enterprises, said, "A country of a billion plus population presents an enormous need for quality healthcare facilities. Healthcare access and delivery are still out of the reach of many due to dearth of the required infrastructure. The acquisition of the Central Hospital is a small step and an earnest endeavour towards creating and providing world-class healthcare facilities."

This move is significant as it sets the electrical giant's foray in healthcare. It further plans to invest around Rs 21 crore in the Hospital.

QRG Group is one of the largest and fastest growing electrical and power distribution equipment companies. The Group had recorded a turnover of Rs 1,681 crore in the previous financial year with a CAGR of over 35 per cent.
