Shares of low-cost carrier SpiceJet were trading with gains of almost 3 percent at Rs 81.50 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) at around 1.40 pm. A business news channel has reported the Ajay Singh-controlled carrier plans to enter India's retail sector with presence in both online and offline (physical stores) formats.
The goods will be sourced from various vendors in India and abroad and sold under the "Spice" brand, the Moneycontrol.com quoted sources as saying. The product category is likely to include gadgets, food and fashion items.
The news reminds us about the fate of one of the famous liquor business owner who forayed into the glamorous civil aviation sector, launching the full-service carrier Kingfisher Airlines (KFA).
A slew of setbacks later, he realised that the KFA was destined to remain grounded, for a variety of reasons. Yes, we are talking about Vijay Mallya, who is wanted by Indian banks for unpaid loans running into crores of rupees.
SpiceJet, which reported its eighth straight quarter (October to December 2016) of profit, is one of the turnaround successes in India Inc. The carrier earned net profit of Rs 181 crore on total sales of Rs 1,642 crore.
The budget carrier commands 12.8 percent share in the Indian civil avaition market, the fastest-growing in the world.
