The identity of the buyer could not be ascertained. Prior to the sale, Rakesh Gangwal and his wife held a 29.72 per cent stake in the airline.
The decision to sell these shares aligns with the co-founder’s earlier announcement of gradually reducing ownership over five years. This move follows two prior share sales conducted by the Gangwal family.
