Sun TV Chief Kalanithi Maran and his firm KAL Airways have bought 7.42 per cent equity in SpiceJet for Rs 135.10 crore. This is as part of the deal entered in June to acquire 37.7 per cent stake in the low-cost carrier. This is an off-market transaction, following which Mr Maran’s direct stake in the airline has now increased to 25.12 per cent. Last week, Mr Maran had increased his direct stake in the company to 17.71 per cent through similar transactions.

In June, the Chennai-based industrialist had clinched a deal to acquire 37.7 per cent stake in the low-cost carrier for about Rs 750 crore from American investor Mr Wilbur Ross, his investment companies and the Kansagara family-promoted Royal Holding Services Ltd. The latest transaction, through which Mr Maran has bought about 2.86 crore shares (7.42 per cent stake), at Rs 47.25, is pursuant to the share purchase agreement signed at the time of the deal.
