Mumbai: Jet Airways (India) Ltd founder Naresh Goyal has put in his bid for buying stake in the crisis-hit airline, said people aware of the development. Goyal quit as Jet Airways chairman in March under a bailout plan that saw lenders, led by State Bank of India, taking control of the airline. It could not be immediately ascertained whether Goyal has partnered with any entity or airline for the bid.
Friday marked the end of a bidding deadline to buy up to 75% stake in Jet Airways.
SBI Capital Markets has the mandate for the Jet Airways stake sale on behalf of the SBI-led consortium of domestic lenders to the debt-ridden private carrier.
