Advent and Aster DM Quality Care in Talks to Acquire Controlling Stake in Yatharth Hospitals
Advent International and Blackstone-backed Aster DM Quality Care are reportedly negotiating to acquire a controlling stake in Yatharth Hospitals, a north India-focused specialty hospital chain. The potential deal, still under negotiation with no guarantee of completion, could lead to an open offer for an additional 26% stake, possibly increasing the acquirer's ownership beyond 75%. Yatharth Hospitals has denied involvement in any sale discussions. The hospital chain operates about nine facilities with over 2,800 beds and aims to expand capacity to 5,000 beds within three years.
