SpiceJet shares fall on record September quarter loss

The low-cost carrier is controlled by media baron Kalanithi Maran's Sun Group.

Shares of SpiceJet fall as much as 6.3 per cent after the Indian airline posted a record quarterly loss due to high fuel prices and a weaker rupee during the July-September period.

SpiceJet,controlled by media baron Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Group,said late on Thursday its net loss widened to 5.59 billion rupees for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30,compared with a net loss of 1.64 billion rupees in the same period last year.

Indian airlines have been struggling. Last month Jet Airways also reported a record quarterly loss for the three months ended September 30.

SpiceJet shares are down 4 per cent at 10.15 am,under-performing a 0.4 per cent fall in the Sensex.
