Jet Airways shares fall further; plunge over 5%

January 17, 2019 14:06

Shares of Jet Airways fell for the second straight session Thursday, plunging over 5 per cent, amid continued uncertainty over the revival plan of the company.

The scrip declined 5.31 per cent to Rs 256.60 on BSE. On NSE, shares of the company slumped 4.93 per cent to Rs 256.40. The stock has been falling since Wednesday and, in the process, its market valuation has been eroded by Rs 365.48 crore in two days on BSE. Jet Airways' shares slumped nearly 8 per cent on Wednesday too.

The airline's Chairman Naresh Goyal has told the State Bank of India that he is ready to invest up to Rs 700 crore in the airline on the condition that his stake does not fall below 25 per cent. Goyal's offer comes against the backdrop of strategic partner Etihad reportedly putting forward strict conditions, including that Goyal should give up control, for infusing funds into the crisis-hit carrier.

According to Jet Airways' shareholding pattern on BSE, as of the quarter ending December 2018, Goyal owns 5,79,33,665 shares, amounting to 51 per cent stake in the company. -- PTI
