Shares of InterGlobe Aviation, the parent of IndiGo Airlines, were down on Tuesday as a promoter entity was reportedly looking to offload some stake in the carrier.

What Happened: Rahul Bhatia’s promoter entity, Interglobe Enterprises, was planning to sell a stake worth $394 million (around ₹3,270 crore) in Indigo Airlines’ parent firm via a block deal, Moneycontrol reported, citing sources.

Notably, there is a lock-up period of 365 days on the seller according to deal terms, a source told the publication.

Beyond Interglobe Aviation, Rahul Bhatia also has business interests in the hotels and artificial intelligence segments, which may require additional capital, a source speculated.

In April, Bhatia launched the AI company AionOS with former Tech Mahindra managing director CP Gurunani.
