The Kolkata-based group said it is going to set up a R500-crore hospital at Rajarhat in the eastern fringes of the city even if it is unsure that when the Bengal government would allow it to re-open fire-hit AMRI Hospital. ?It will take more than two-and-half years to set up the new hospital,? Aditya V Agarwal, non-executive director of Emami, said.
