Shares of Park Medi World Ltd are on investors’ radar today after the company announced the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary to set up a 550-bed hospital. The stock opened in the green even as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled as escalating tensions in West Asia pushed crude oil to near the USD 100-per-barrel mark. Selling in IT stocks and fresh foreign fund outflows also dented investors’ sentiment. While the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 500.25 points to 75,060.61, the 50-share NSE Nifty declined 129.40 points to 23,506.10.
