By Mihir Mishra, ET Bureau | 26 Jan, 2015
SpiceJetBSE 0.68 % will getRs 1,500 crore in new equity funding over a period of just over three months, according to a turnaround proposal from the cash-strapped airline's new promoters that the civil aviation ministry has approved.
The first instalment of Rs 100 crore was scheduled to be made on January 25, and it wasn't immediately clear if that money has come to the airline. The next instalment, of Rs 400 crore, is scheduled for February 15, followed by two more of Rs 500 crore each on March 20 and April 30, according to the plan approved by the ministry on Thursday.
The plan doesn't say where the money would come from. It says the funding will happen post the new promoter, Ajay Singh, taking charge at the airline after the transfer of equity to him from Kalanithi Maran and KAL Airways.
