Overview
- The Maharashtra Cabinet approved the High Energy Medical Cyclotron Project on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, with a ₹300 crore budget and about 30 hectares allotted at Bhansoli (Kinhi) in Hingna taluka.
- Funding will include ₹150 crore from the Medical Education Department and the remainder shared equally between the Medical Education and Industries departments.
- The government cleared implementation through Mahacare, creation of a Special Purpose Vehicle with the Commissioner of Medical Education as chair, and an interim steering committee led by Dr. Shrikar Pardeshi until the SPV is formed.
- Officials say the facility will supply short‑lived radioisotopes used in PET‑CT and nuclear medicine for patients across roughly a 500 km radius and will reduce reliance on Mumbai and Hyderabad.
- Next steps include preparing a Detailed Project Report, finalising land development and budget lines, securing regulatory clearances, and beginning procurement and staffing to start construction and operations.
