Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd shares fell as much as 2.7 per cent on Thursday as an arm of Malaysian sovereign fund Khazanah was looking to exit the healthcare provider by selling its remaining 4.78 per cent stake.

Integrated (Mauritius) Healthcare Holdings Ltd, an arm of the Malaysian fund, was looking to sell up to 6.7 million shares in Apollo Hospitals at a price range of Rs 1,245-1,260 apiece, below its Rs 1,280.20 closing price on Wednesday, according to a deal term sheet.
