With this resolution, we can now focus on revamping our fleet and driving our business forward. I am grateful for the support of our stakeholders, including our investors, as we navigate through this process," said Singh.

The representatives of both parties informed a bench of NCLT last week that settlement terms had been reached and requested an adjournment. The Court had granted the adjournment.

The matter is now scheduled to be formally withdrawn on March 1. SpiceJet recently secured investments totaling Rs 1,060 crore through a preferential issue, with notable investors including Aries Opportunities Fund Limited and Elara India Opportunities Fund Limited. As per airline officials, part of these funds will be allocated towards settling past liabilities.
