SpiceJet's Subsidiary secures US$ 100 million investment

SpiceJet's Subsidiary, SpiceXpress, on Monday, announced that it will receive a significant investment of US$ 100 million (m) from a UK-based group.

The investment is expected to provide a boost to the aviation industry in India and support SpiceXpress in expanding its operations.

Both sides have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as part of the investment deal.

The MoU also comes after a debt restructuring agreement between the carrier and aircraft lessor Carlyle Aviation Partner wherein the latter bought a stake in SpiceXpress at an anticipated future valuation of US$ 1.5 bn.

SRAM & MRAM Group has interests in agricultural and agro-food products, neural networks, artificial intelligence, hedge fund management, hospitality services and solutions, media and publishing, among other areas. SpiceJet had recently hived off SpiceXpress.

So far this month, lessors have sought the deregistration of five SpiceJet planes, a development that also comes against the backdrop of crisis-hit rival Go First shuttering operations and going for resolution proceedings under the insolvency law.
