Diversified business group Max India will add nearly 700 beds this year as it goes on an expansion drive for its healthcare arm by opening four new hospitals in 2011. It would invest around Rs 600 crore to set up four hospitals that will take its bed capacity to around 1,800 beds. Besides the new hospital at Shalimar Bagh, the firm plans to open three hospitals in Dehradun, Mohali and Bhatinda as it expands beyond the National Capital Region (NCR).
One of the prominent hospital chains in the country, Max Healthcare currently has a capacity of nearly 1,100 beds. It runs eight centres in Delhi and NCR and is also planning to enter into medical education in near future.crackcrack
