Nagpur firm wins bid to build multispecialty hospital in Mihan

NAGPUR: The Maharashtra Airport Development Corporation (MADC) on Tuesday finalized a contractor for setting up a multispecialty hospital and nursing home at Mihan. The city-based Anjani Logistics Private Limited has been allotted the tender to build and operate the hospital on 0.3 acres. This would be the second medical facility inside Mihan campus after AIIMS.
“We’ve allotted the bid to the highest bidder after a transparent and speedy process. We received a good response for this tender with six players vying for it. The Ramdaspeth-based firm had quoted Rs1.11 crore as the base price for setting up the multi-storied hospital,” MADC managing director Deepak Kapoor told TOI.

The company has to submit its plans to MADC in a couple of months on the proposed hospital building and other facilities to be made available to patients. The bidder was selected after MADC conducted its technical and financial scrutiny based on documents.
Confirming the development, Anjani Logistics MD Narendra Jichkar said he would soon be submitting the project report to MADC, after finalizing it in consultation with the architect. “It would be a state-of-the-art hospital with all the facilities. We aim to complete the construction within two-and-a-half years. I bid for it as my wife is a practicing doctor and son is pursuing MBBS. Our company is being run by me and my younger brother. We see good scope for the hospital inside Mihan in future,” he told TOI.
The firm has also bid for a residential and commercial complex spread over four acres inside Mihan, but its tenders are yet to be allotted. “Unless we finalise the hospital design, we can’t predict the cost of the project, but it would be like other top multispecialty hospitals in the city,” Jichkar said.
According to Kapoor, this would be the third major investment in Mihan project amid Covid-19 pandemic after Persistent Systems and Kalpana Aviation. Setting up of a hospital and hotel were his initiatives, after witnessing the chaotic situation during pandemic times. The tenders for a five-star hotel would also be finalised shortly.
“After the end of the pandemic, these two industries would witness a big surge across the globe. The proposed hospital has huge potential to provide direct and indirect jobs to hundreds of youths. It would require doctors, nurses, ward boys and other paramedical staff. Many other ancillary units in the form of supply chain would also thrive due to it. Mihan is my top priority and is all set to boom with more investments like this,” Kapoor, also Mihan India Limited chairman, said.
