LIC Exits AI Debt At A Profit Before Handover

According to a banking source, the government-owned insurer sold its holding of 3,800 crore back to the airline after AI offered to pre-pay debt worth 12,900 crore to investors.

LIC, which had invested 3,000 crore, exited at a premium and will not invest in the airline in future as it will now be owned by a private limited company, said a source close to the development.
