MUMBAI: The Tata Group plans to bid for some assets of Jet AirwaysNSE 2.67 % as it undergoes bankruptcy resolution, said people with knowledge of the matter. It had told bankers as much when they sought to interest the group in a rescue plan before the carrier was sent to bankruptcy court. The focus for the Tata Group will be assets it can use to scale up and tap the gap created by the exit of Jet, officials said.
“We were reluctant when it was on the books of the company. Now that it’s with NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal), one can look at the bilateral rights and whatever is available in terms of fleet to quickly grow our business,” said one of the persons. “There is no value in buying the company anyway.”
