Clarity on Jet Airways expected in a week, says SBI chief Rajnish Kumar
Live MintNew Delhi: It may not be over till it is over. Even as some industry veterans believe that grounded Jet Airways may have hit the end of the road, State Bank of India Chairman Rajnish Kumar remains optimistic that clarity over the future course of the airline will emerge in a week's time. Private equity firm TPG Capital, Indigo Partners, National Investment and Infrastructure Fund and Etihad Airways were shortlisted to submit their bids after they put forward their Expression of Interest. While the lenders are vetting various proposals, most of the top Jet executives, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary, have resigned from their respective positions citing personal reasons. Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways, which holds 24% stake in the crisis-hit Jet Airways, is currently the only solicited bidder for a stake in the airline.
