Reuters: Fortis Healthcare Ltd on Tuesday decided to initiate a fresh bidding process, after the board’s previous choice of the investment offer in the bidding war did not appeal to shareholders.

Three bidders - a consortium of Hero Enterprise Investment Office and the Burman Family Office, a consortium of TPG and Manipal Health Enterprises, and Malaysia’s IHH Healthcare Bhd - have been invited to participate in the process.

The invited bidders, should submit their interest by 31 May, Fortis said on Tuesday. It also invited other parties to submit their expression of interest.
