Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar is set to be discharged from hospital after responding well to treatment, doctors said on Saturday.

Doctor Purvez Grant, Chief Cardiologist, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Ruby Hall Clinic, confirmed that the veteran leader’s condition has improved and that he will return home later in the day.

"Mr. Pawar is in good health and has recovered well. He will be discharged today. The medical team has advised him to take adequate rest for a few days, following which he may gradually resume his routine work and public engagements," Doctor Grant said.

Sharad Pawar, president of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar), was admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic on February 9 after developing chest congestion. His daughter, Member of Parliament Supriya Sule, had earlier said he would require a five day course of antibiotics.

In a post on X, she wrote: "Baba has developed chest congestion and will need a 5-day course of antibiotics. Fortunately, all other vital parameters are normal. Thank you all for your good wishes and constant support. A heartfelt thank you to all the doctors from the bottom of my heart," she said.

Earlier this week, NCP-SCP leader Rohit Pawar also shared details about the senior leader’s health, stating that there was no cause for concern.

"Sharad Pawar's health is very good right now. His tests have been done there. He has not been kept in the ICU. He has been kept in a private room there. He doesn't need any support there right now. Once the reports come, it will be decided whether he will be kept in Pune or Mumbai," Rohit Pawar told reporters.

He further said that a decision on whether Pawar will be shifted to Pune or Mumbai will depend on the medical reports. "Pawar came here in a private vehicle, and everything is normal," he said.

Rohit Pawar also appealed to party workers to avoid gathering at the hospital so that other patients are not inconvenienced. "I, Supriya Tai, the doctors, the party workers, and people from across Maharashtra will provide regular updates," he said.
