Go First lenders to auction 94.71-acre Thane plot at ₹1,375 crore reserve price
Our read
Go First’s Thane land auction is more likely to produce a partial lender recovery than a full-resolution event, with any retail impact delayed until a new owner secures approvals and launches mixed-use redevelopment.
For operators
Go First’s lenders are moving to monetize a major non-core asset, but the ₹1,375 crore reserve price would recover only a fraction of the airline’s ₹3,918.54 crore admitted claims.
Watch
Winning bid at or above the ₹1,375 crore reserve price.
