Navi Mumbai is set to get one of India’s largest radiation therapy facilities with the commencement of construction of a new cancer care building at Tata Memorial Centre’s (TMC) Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC). The project, funded through ICICI Bank’s CSR contribution of Rs 625 crore, will significantly expand the region’s cancer care infrastructure.

The 11-storey building ‘ICICI Foundation Block for Radiation Oncology’ will be spread over 3.4 lakh square feet and house 12 state-of-the-art Linear Accelerators (LINACs) and other advanced equipment for precise radiation delivery. Once operational, it will provide radiation therapy to around 7,200 patients annually, and consultations and diagnostics to 25,000 new outpatients each year. The facility is expected to be completed by 2027.

The groundbreaking ceremony, held on Saturday, was attended by Dr Sudeep Gupta, Director, TMC, and Pradeep Kumar Sinha, Chairman, ICICI Bank, among others.

The Navi Mumbai facility is part of ICICI Bank’s Rs 1,800 crore commitment to support TMC in establishing three cancer care hospitals across the country, with similar projects underway in Visakhapatnam and Mullanpur (New Chandigarh).

According to Dr Gupta, the new facilities will “significantly enhance capacity and provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based cancer therapy to underserved patients.”

ICICI Bank officials said the centre will increase ACTREC’s existing radiation treatment capacity six-fold and contribute to training medical professionals and supporting cancer research.

The ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth, the CSR arm of ICICI Bank, will oversee implementation of the project.
