With
barely a week left for the November 30 deadline set by bankers to pump in fresh
capital into the grounded Kingfisher Airlines, the lead lender State Bank of
India, on Saturday, said it had not heard from the company so far.
“Kingfisher,
as a company, has not given us any information or visibility on capital
infusion,” State Bank of India Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri told reporters on the
sidelines of the annual two-day banking summit ‘Bancon 2012’ here.
In
an obvious reference to the United Spirit-Diageo deal earlier this month, he
said there were reports relating to the group company, but that could not be a
basis for taking a view on the airline.
Late
last month, SBI set a November 30 deadline for Kingfisher to bring in fresh
capital and produce a comprehensive revival plan.
But
airline chairman Vijay Mallya said later that he had no knowledge about any
such deadline.
Banks
have been demanding that Kingfisher management pump in at least $ 1 billion
fresh equity
