SpiceJet to raise funds worth up to Rs 5,000 crore
NEW DELHI: Low-cost air carrier SpiceJet on Tuesday said its shareholders have approved a proposal to raise funds worth up to Rs 5,000 crore.
The shareholders, at the company’s 31st Annual General Meeting held here on Monday, also approved the appointment of promoter Ajay Singh and his wife Shivani Singh as directors, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Besides, the shareholders have also given their nod to the appointment of R Sasiprabhu as an independent director of the company, it said.

Singh had said on Monday that the airline was looking to place order for new planes this fiscal.
