The embattled Jet Airways continued to spiral down as lenders failed to find resolution outside the bankruptcy framework. Reports suggest that the State Bank of India-led consortium of banks that is in control of the airline will now move the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to seek resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
"After due deliberations, the lenders have decided to seek resolution for Jet Airways under the bankruptcy code since only a conditional bid was received," SBI said in a statement after the meeting.
The lenders are expected to file insolvency proceedings against Jet Airways by June 20 before the next NCLT hearing, reports suggest. The focus will be on finding a new owner for the airline under the IBC framework to save it. Jet has an overall debt burden of Rs 8,500 crore.
After Etihad Airlines and Hinduja brothers turned their decision to invest in the troubled Jet Airways, its lenders met on Monday to decide the further course of action. The bankers met to decide whether a resolution will be possible under the June 7 mandate of Reserve Bank of India on stressed assets.
Jet Airways share price slides to all-time low of Rs 69.75 ahead of lenders' meeting on revival
Meanwhile, the Jet Airways share continued its descent on Monday as the lenders met to decide the fate of the airline. The scrip has been on a downward trend for the past 11 sessions. Today it ended at 68.30 after a decline of 16.76 per cent and remained the top loser of the day.
