SBI-Led Lenders State Vijay Mallya Owes Rs 8,752 Crore Amid Ongoing Court Proceedings
A consortium of lenders led by State Bank of India informed the Bombay High Court that Vijay Mallya still owes approximately Rs 8,752 crore as of August 31, despite recovering over Rs 10,270 crore so far. This contradicts Mallya's claim that banks have fully recovered their dues. The Enforcement Directorate noted assets worth about Rs 14,132 crore have been returned to SBI. The court is reviewing Mallya's plea to dismiss criminal proceedings related to these financial disputes, with the next hearing scheduled for October 13.
