SpiceJet on Tuesday said shareholders have approved the transfer of its cargo and logistics services business to a subsidiary, on a slump sale basis, through an all-share deal worth over ₹2,555 crore, a move that will help the airline to significantly reduce its negative networth.
Besides, the shareholders have cleared the proposal to raise up to ₹2,500 crore through the Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) route.
These developments also come at a time when the airline industry is slowly recovering after being battered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
