Hive-off of pharma division to keep Apollo Hospitals healthy?

The National Company Law Tribunal, Chennai Bench, has sanctioned a scheme of arrangement between Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd and Apollo Pharmacies Ltd (transferee company) and their respective shareholders for the demerger of the front end portion of standalone pharmacy business into Transferee company for a total consideration of Rs.527.80 crore.

APL, in turn, will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo Medicals Private Ltd. Apollo Hospitals said the divestment would help the company to focus on its core business of hospitals and healthcare services. At the same time, it will also set the platform for 'value discovery' of the pharmacy business at a later stage with the ultimate objective of maximising shareholder returns.

Shareholders and investors will closely monitor further development.
