The Maharashtra Cabinet approved the ₹300-crore High-Energy Medical Cyclotron Project (HEMCP) in Nagpur.
The project is a nuclear medicine facility based on a high-energy particle accelerator (cyclotron) to produce short-lived medical radioisotopes.
These radioisotopes will be used in PET-CT imaging, cancer diagnosis, and targeted nuclear medicine therapies.
The facility will support major institutions like AIIMS Nagpur, National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Government Medical College (GMC).
The project is jointly funded by government departments under a 50:50 financial model and will be managed through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
