Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Thursday announced an investment of over Rs 4,000 crore in the proposed Adani Arogya Mandir in West Bengal, a healthcare project expected to create more than 10,000 jobs.
Further, the facility will also include a medical college, along with advanced research and healthcare facilities. The Adani Arogya Mandir will be a 2,000-bed, not-for-profit medical institution. Of the total beds, 1,000 will be reserved for economically weaker sections eligible under state and central government health insurance schemes.
The group also announced its support for the restoration of Kolkata’s historic Writers’ Building. The building was originally used as an administrative office by the East India Company and later housed offices of the West Bengal government. (Disclaimer: New Delhi Television is a subsidiary of AMG Media Networks Limited, an Adani Group Company.) He said the healthcare project and related institutions are expected to generate more than 10,000 jobs across West Bengal’s healthcare ecosystem.
Highlighting the group’s wider investment plans, Adani said the healthcare project was part of a larger commitment to the state.
