<b>Arete Hospitals divests 250-bed Hyderabad facility to Aurevia; KIMS assumes operations under 5-year O&M deal with call option.</b> <cite index="1-3">Business Transfer Agreement executed on 03 July 2026</cite>; <cite index="5-13">O&M agreement effective from August 20, 2026</cite>.
TLH, Advocates & Solicitors represented Arete Institute of Medical Sciences on this transaction. KIMS will exclusively operate Arete Hospitals in Gachibowli, Hyderabad under a long-term management agreement, with a secured call option to potentially acquire Arete's hospital business and will earn a nine percent fee on net revenue. Aurevia Hospitals Private Limited (AHPL) is formerly known as Golden Lan Solution Private Limited. The O&M Agreement runs for an initial period of 5 years, with an option for a further 5-year extension.
Why it mattersAsset-light O&M with embedded call option represents a precedent for capital-constrained healthcare groups to expand footprint in high-value urban IT hubs while deferring acquisition risk and retaining upside optionality.
