Force India boss Vijay Mallya’s grounded airline Kingfisher appears close to folding.<\/p>\n

Respected business newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, said plans by Kingfisher’s lenders to recall loans is “likely to cause severe financial strain” across Mallya’s entire portfolio.<\/p>\n

“Fifteen days earlier, I would have given a confident answer.\u00a0 Today I have none,” an unnamed ‘senior Kingfisher executive’ is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

An aviation official told the Times of India newspaper: “It is almost the end of the road for Kingfisher.”<\/p>\n

The Business Standard said among collateral available to lenders are assets like helicopters, while Mallya’s villa in Goa, India, is being sold.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times said another of Mallya’s houses near Mumbai has already been collateralised.<\/p>\n

Representing Kingfisher’s lenders, the State Bank of India’s deputy managing director Shyamal Acharya told The Hindu: “We gave them enough time.\u00a0 They are not saying anything new or credible.”<\/p>\n
