Claims from banks will come by July 4 and the CoC will be constituted and when the stage for EoI comes, the Resolution Professional will invite EoIs. Those who are eligible and will meet the criteria they can give their plans that time.

A group of employees of Jet on Friday said they would bid for the ailing airline along with Adi Group.

UK Investor AdiGroup will explore revival of Jet Airways through the NCLT process, they announced on Friday. The airline owes Rs 8,500 crore to banks and around Rs 25,000 crore in arrears to vendors, lessors and employees.

He said lenders will decide on the future course of action as per the June 7 RBI circular including DHFL.

The NBFC on Friday deferred its Q4 earnings announcement. Its stock tanked 7 per cent. SBI has about Rs 11,000 crore exposure to DHFL and banks have Rs 40,000 crore funds in DHFL.
