State Bank of India (SBI) Monday invited bids for stake sale in ailing Jet Airways.
SBI, which is the lead lender of a consortium of domestic lenders that has extended loans to Jet Airways, is looking for “change in control and management” of the carrier, according to a public notice.
SBI Capital Markets would be assisting and advising the lenders on the bid process.
The bids have to be submitted by April 10.
The lenders’ consortium has taken control of the airline under a debt recast plan.
Under the debt resolution plan approved by the Jet Airways’ board on March 25, lenders have taken a majority stake in the airline and are set to infuse Rs 1,500 crore.
