Russian bidder for Jet Airways may be disqualified

Efforts to revive the grounded Indian carrier Jet Airways has hit another air pocket, with one of the two bidders in the fray – Treasury RA Creator, a Russian investment fund –understood to have failed to deposit the mandatory deposit required to access the airline’s data.

Failure to deposit the mandatory deposit could lead to disqualification of the Russian investment fund, aviation industry sources said.

“Treasury RA Creator did not provide enough information about itself to Jet Airways’ Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP) nor did it deposit the mandatory amount required to seek access to the airline’s data, making it ineligible to bid,” Mint reported, quoting undisclosed sources.
Treasury RA Creator - the Treasury of the Creator RA, the name according to its website -  is an international financial organisation designed to promote economic growth, expand trade and economic relations between countries and develop integration processes through investment activities, according to the information provided on the Russian fund’s website.

Aviation industry analysts said the bid by the South American conglomerate Synergy Group Corp – the other bidder for Jet Airways - did not seem to be serious as the company is yet to approach any company or investor group in India for forming a partnership.

As per India’s foreign direct investment (FDI) policy for the aviation sector, no foreign airline is allowed to hold more than 49 percent equity stake or have controlling right of any Indian carrier.
