Kolkata-based conglomerate, Peerless Group, is set to invest approximately Rs 1,000 crore ($134m) in healthcare and mixed-use real estate projects in the next three years.
Peerless Group plans to invest Rs 500 crore to develop a 160-bed cancer-care facility, the SK Roy Institute of Oncology Services (SRIOS), to be launched in 2026. The announcement was made at the Group’s flagship company, Peerless General Finance and Investment’s (PGFI) 91st annual general meeting. In addition to this, the company is also considering acquisitions in the healthcare sector.
The Group is set to develop Trayam, a mixed-use real estate project in Kolkata. The development will include retail, commercial, and residential complexes.
