KKR is in advanced talks to buy a majority stake in the Indian business of Sweden's Medicover for at least $1 billion, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said, a deal that would expand its healthcare bet in the world's most populous nation.
Stockholm-listed Medicover issued a press release soon after Reuters sent a request for comment on Wednesday night, saying Medicover Hospitals India is in discussions with KKR "regarding a potential sale of its Indian operations."
