SpiceJet’s stocks traded at a near six-month low at ₹63.75 on Wednesday. This comes a day after the Madras High Court dismissed the debt-strapped airline’s plea to not liquidate its assets in the Credit Suisse matter.
On January 12, SpiceJet’s stocks opened at ₹63.75 compared to ₹64.05 at closing time the previous day. Over six months ago, too, SpiceJet’s stocks traded at ₹63.85. Its 52 week low is ₹59.
