India-based hospital chain Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) has acquired real estate developer Hiranandani Group’s newly constructed 200-bed hospital property in Thane, Maharashtra in a deal valued at Rs2.75bn ($33.35m).
Spanning about 30,000ft² within Thane’s Hiranandani Estate, the hospital has held an occupation certificate for over a year and is nearly as large as the developer’s hospital with 250 beds in Powai’s Hiranandani complex.
