MUMBAI/BENGALURU, May 6 (Reuters) - Global investment firm KKR KKR.N will buy Indian medical devices maker Healthium Medtech HEAT.NS from UK-based Apax Partners in a deal that three sources with direct knowledge of the matter say is valued at 70 billion rupees ($838.60 million).

Healthium and Apax did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests seeking comment, while KKR declined to comment.

KKR will acquire Healthium through a special purpose vehicle - owned by KKR-managed funds - that will have a controlling interest in Healthium group, including Healthium Medtech, the three companies said in a statement.

The acquisition marks KKR's latest investment in the Indian healthcare sector, with the firm already holding stakes in Indian drugmaker J B Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals JBCH.NS, hospital chain operator Max Healthcare MAXE.NS and generic injectables maker Gland Pharma GLAD.NS.

Private equity firm Apax bought Healthium, which is involved in the manufacturing of products used in surgical, post-surgical, and chronic care procedures, in 2018.

BENGALURU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - India's J B Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals JBCH.NS reported its sixth straight quarter of profit rise on Tuesday, led by strong demand in its domestic and international markets.

The company's consolidated net profit was 1.34 billion rupees (nearly $16 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with 1.06 billion rupees a year earlier.

The Mumbai-based company's sales have benefitted from a series of acquisitions involving companies with portfolios of cardiovascular and ophthalmology drugs. Moreover, sales were boosted by new product launches.

J B Chemicals, known for manufacturing generic drugs and herbal lozenges used to soothe irritated throats, said its revenue from operations rose 6.6% to 8.45 billion rupees.

Revenue growth was fuelled by a 14% increase in its domestic business, its largest market, and a 6% rise in overseas business, including the Russian and South African markets.

The company did not give a region-wise revenue break up.

J B Chemicals' results follow those of larger generic drugmakers such as Cipla CIPL.NS, Dr Reddy's REDY.NS and Sun Pharma SUN.NS, all of which beat their third-quarter profit estimates on robust U.S. sales.
