EMBATTLED Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya has proposed to repay 40 billion rupees (S$815 million), less than half of what his defunct Kingfisher Airlines owes to creditor banks who have approached the nation's highest court to recover their dues.
Mr Mallya, who left India on March 2 and whose exact whereabouts since then are not known, made the offer on Wednesday to the group of lenders led by State Bank of India (SBI) to pay the sum by end-September.
