When contacted, Manipal Health Enterprises declined to comment.
Meanwhile, Temasek Holdings said, “As a matter of policy, Temasek does not comment on market speculation”.
It is understood that the deal is being carried out through the acquisition of shares from the current promoters of Manipal Health -- the Pai family and other shareholders, including TPG Capital.
The Pai family currently holds 52% of the company and after the transaction, their holding will come down to 30%.
Similarly, TPG Capital's holding is also expected to come down to 11% from 22%, sources said.
On the other hand, the National Infrastructure Investment Fund, which has around 8% stake in Manipal, will completely exit.
Started in 1953, Manipal Health is a multi-speciality healthcare provider with 29 hospitals with around 8,300 beds, spread over 16 cities.
The transaction tops the list of multi-crore deals in the Indian healthcare sector, including the RS 9,100 crore stake sale of 27% stake by KKR in Max Healthcare last year and Malaysia-based IHH Healthcare's 31.17% buy-in Fortis for Rs 4,000 crore in November 2018.
