In an exchange filing, Adani Enterprises said: “The GVK Group and AAHL have agreed that AAHL will offer a stand-still to GVK, in addition, to release of the guarantee given by GVK Power and Infrastructure Limited with respect to the debt acquired by it.”

Once it acquires the debt, Adani Group will advance to secure necessary customary and regulatory approvals to acquire the controlling interest in MIAL.

“AAHL intends to infuse funds into MIAL to ensure that MIAL receives much needed liquidity and also achieves financial closure of Navi Mumbai International Airport to be able to commence construction,” the statement further added.
