The State Bank of India-led consortium of lenders to Jet Airways Friday said it has received bids from Etihad Airways and from a few unsolicited parties to acquire stake in the grounded airline.
The consortium of 26 lenders, which now owns 51 percent in the airline, had invited expressions of interest between April 8 and 12 and had received four preliminary bids. The lenders are offering 31.2-75 per cent stake in the company on a fully diluted basis.
Friday was the last day to submit the financial bids from the qualified bidders.
SBI Caps, which has been mandated for the sale, in a statement said, "sealed bid from Etihad Airways has been received and the same will be submitted to lenders for examination."
