New Delhi: Debt-laden Air India will soon sell four residential flats in Mumbai to public sector lender SBI for about Rs 90 crore as the airline looks to raise funds by sale of certain assets.
The proposal, which has been in the works for some months, was recently approved by the Cabinet, sources said.
Air India would be selling four residential flats to SBI in Mumbai soon and the sale is expected to fetch around Rs 90 crore, they added.
These flats are the Sterling Apartments on the upmarket Peddar Road in South Mumbai. Earlier efforts to sell the four posh flats did not materialise.
Faced with substantial debt burden, the national carrier has been exploring various options to raise money to meet its funding requirements. These include proposed sale of properties and land parcels.
In August 2013, the national airline had floated bids for e-auctioning of these four flats. Each of these 3-BHK flats measures 2,033 sqft in carpet area.
