The company also plans to increase its headcount to more than 2,000 from existing 1,200. Metropolis is also implementing next generation software such as LIMS (Library Information Management System) and SAP, Velu said, adding the implementation of the software has cost about $1 million.
PriceWaterhouse Coopers would implement LIMS to network all the labs into a centralised architecture at Mumbai, which is expected by September 2006, he said.
He said both SAP and LIMS would be integrated into one to achieve faster turnaround time. This would help position the company as an international chain and prove useful for clinical trial testing, he added.
