Anil Agarwal, the billionaire head of Vedanta Resources Limited, whose family trust, Volcan Investments, earlier said it was examining procuring a stake in Jet \u2013 backed out on Monday.<\/p>\n
Etihad Airways, which already owns a minority stake in Jet, also balked at reinvesting in the airline.<\/p>\n
The announcements are a setback for creditors hoping to recover a portion of the more than $3bn that the airline owes to its lenders, lessors, staff and other suppliers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe EOI [expression of interest] for Jet Airways by Volcan was exploratory. On further evaluation and considering other priorities, we intend to not pursue this further,\u201d Volcan said in a brief statement, a day after it had disclosed it had submitted an EOI for the airline.<\/p>\n
Separately, the United Arab Emirates\u2019 Etihad said it was not interested in reinvesting in Jet because of unresolved issues concerning the Indian airline\u2019s liabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cEtihad remained engaged in the process, but despite the endeavors of everyone involved there remained very significant issues relating to Jet\u2019s previous liabilities,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
Etihad acquired a 24 percent stake in Jet in 2013, at a time when the carrier had needed significant financial support.<\/p>\n
A total of three EOIs have been received for Jet after prospective bidders were invited to express interest, according to media reports.<\/p>\n
Resolution professionals are examining the EOIs and are likely to announce the names that make the cut on August 13, according to a source familiar with the matter. The only criterion for bidders is having a net worth of 10 billion Indian rupees ($140m).<\/p>\n
Before entering bankruptcy court, Jet\u2019s lenders had run a similar sale process that failed to attract any binding offers from bidders that met the cutoff criteria.<\/p>\n
Some analysts are concerned the same problems are playing out again, further eroding any value left in Jet.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing has changed at all in the last few months, [as] the Jet deal has been stuck in a limbo and we haven\u2019t moved forward,\u201d said one aviation analyst, requesting anonymity. \u201cWe are again back to the EOI stage, and uncertainty remains.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
