Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited (NSEI:APOLLOHOSP) is looking to sell assets or bring an outside investor into their holding company to pay down debt. “The aim is to reduce the Apollo shares pledged by the family as collateral to lenders, to 20 per cent of their total holding in the company from about 78 per cent now,” said Suneeta Reddy, Managing Director. Among the assets the family could sell are a chain of 13 nursing colleges and two medical colleges it owns. “People are talking to us, Reddy said. She declined to specify what kind of investor they are looking for, other than that it will be someone who has an understanding of health care or wants to get into the business. It will be long term,” she added.
