AN INDIAN court has remanded Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal to 14-day judicial custody in a money laundering case.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Goyal on September 1 under under money laundering laws following a long session of questioning.

The 74-year-old businessman was produced before a Mumbai court at the end of his ED remand on Thursday (14).

The money laundering case stems from a first information report (FIR) of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Jet Airways, Goyal, his wife Anita and some former company executives of the now grounded private airline in connection with the fraud.

The FIR was registered on the state-owned Canara Bank's complaint which alleged that it sanctioned credit limits and loans to Jet Airways (India) Ltd to the tune of Rs 8.48 billion (£82m) of which Rs 5.38 bn (£52m) was outstanding.

BAT lifts vape forecast after US policy shift, shares fall 4 per cent

  • BAT raised its forecast for revenue from vapes and nicotine pouches.
  • Shares fell 4 per cent after the company left overall guidance unchanged.
  • A recent US regulatory shift is expected to open up new opportunities for nicotine products.

British American Tobacco (BAT) has raised its growth expectations for vaping and other nicotine alternatives after a regulatory shift in the US, although investors appeared unconvinced after the company kept its wider financial guidance unchanged.

The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes said revenue growth from products such as Vuse vapes and Velo nicotine pouches is now expected to reach the mid-teens this year, higher than its previous forecast of low double-digit growth. The stronger outlook follows a change in approach by US regulators that could make it easier for companies to bring new nicotine products to market.
