The eye hospital with a built-up area of nearly 90,000 sq feet too will come up in Rajarhat, New Town and will offer a variety of refractive surgery and general ophthalmology treatment to the patients. Construction for all the projects will start soon and is likely to be completed within the next three and half years.

Tandon further said, “The total cost of the entire expansion programme is pegged at Rs 549 crores, out of which Rs 400 crores will be invested in the new hospital. The nursing school will be set up at a cost of Rs 75 crores. The eye hospital will entail an investment of Rs 66 crores and the expansion of the existing facility in South Kolkata will see an investment of Rs 8 crores,” he added.
Funding for these will be mostly through internal accruals and under CSR activities of MP Birla Group Companies.
