Spice Jet's Kalanithi Maran pledges 86% shares

25 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Spicejet Chairman Kalanithi Maran pledged an additional 43.9 million shares to raise Rs 200 crore to fund the airline's expansion. Kal Airways, a company owned by Maran, has pledged over 43.9 million shares on July 13, taking the total number of shares pledged by the entity to over 134.8 million. The total pledged shares account for 86.17 per cent of its holding in the Delhi-based carrier and 33.27 per cent of the outstanding shares of the company. Kal Airways holds over 156.5 million shares in Spicejet.

The move comes at a time when Sun TV and the Marans are under scrutiny for financial irregularities. The airline has raised debt of Rs 200 crore from a local bank to fund its expansion. The airline plans to set up a base in Hyderabad and start a regional service using Bombardier Q400 planes. However, the airline is still to receive an approval from the Reserve Bank of India for $270 million to fund the aircraft order. The airline has also sought DGCA approval to launch flights to ten more international destinations.crackcrack
