Industrialist Ratan Tata, who was rushed to the Breach Candy Hospital in the wee hours on Monday, is now stable, said sources in the know of his health condition. The sources said that the industrialist was diagnosed with 'hypotension' (a decrease in systematic blood pressure below accepted low values) at the time of admission. 


The highly placed sources informed mid-day that he was initially critical when he was rushed to the hospital Emergency Room and later shifted to the Intensive Care Unit where Dr Sharukh Golwalla and a team of intensivists managed to stabilise his blood pressure.


Sources said he continues to remain in the ICU due to his advanced age.


Hospital sources confirming the same said the philanthropist is admitted to the ICU in the new tower of Breach Candy and is under observation.
