How Vijay Mallya became king of bad times

How Vijay Mallya became king of bad times
NEW DELHI: Vijay Mallya, the former chairman of United Spirits, owes over Rs 7,000 crore to 17 banks. SBI is leading the legal battle in the Supreme Court and Debt Recovery Tribunal against liquor baron. From a flamboyant billionaire to a man who watched his empire go bust, here's how the journey unfolded for Mallya:
1) Mallya owes nearly Rs 7,000 crore to bankers. Here's how it stacks up
Rs 1,600 crore — SBI
Rs 800 crore — PNB
Rs 800 crore — IDBI
Rs 650 crore — Bank of India
Rs 550 crore — Bank of Baroda
Rs 430 crore — United Bank of India
Rs 410 crore — Central Bank of India
Rs 320 crore — UCO Bank
Rs 310 crore — Corporation Bank
Rs 150 crore — State Bank of Mysore
Rs 140 crore — Indian Overseas Bank
Rs 90 crore — Federal Bank
Rs 60 crore — Punjab & Sind Bank
Rs 50 crore — Axis Bank
He, however, claims banks have recovered Rs 1,200 crore.
2. What Mallya owns in India
33% in United Breweries, which is worth Rs 7,000 crore. But more than half of the stake is pledged.
22% interest in Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilisers, which is worth Rs 140 crore. One-third of the shares are pledged. 52%of UB Holdings, a shell company, which has some real estate in Bangalore and other places, but the rentals have already been pledged.
Under 1% stake in Bayer Corp Science, but Mallya remains its chairman.
3. How Mallya became Mallya
1983 | After his father's death, Mallya becomes UB group chairman at 28.
1999 | Launches Kingfisher Strong, which changes beer consumption nationally, is still the largest selling brand.
2002 | Nominated to Rajya Sabha.
4. Mallya's shopping list

2005 | Launches Kingfisher Airlines (KFA). Buys Shaw Wallace, gaining whisky brands such as Royal Challenge
2006 | Buys Herbertsons, makers of Bagpiper whisky and Romanov vodka.
2007 | Buys F1 team Spyker, renames it Force India. Acquires Air Deccan. Buys British whisky maker Whyte and Mackay for £595m.
2008 | Buys IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore for $111.6m. UB City comes up in Bangalore.
5. How he ruined it all
2012 | KFA staff strike work for nonpayment of salaries, income-tax dept freezes KFA accounts, airline grounds flights. In Oct, govt suspends KFA licence. British alcoholic beverages firm Diageo agrees to buy majority stake in United Spirits
2013 | Diageo acquires 27% stake in USL for Rs 6,500 crore, but KFA lenders do not get any funds.
2014 | United Bank identifies United Breweries Holdings as wilful defaulter.
2015 | Diageo asks Mallya to step down as chairman of the Indian liquor firm but he refuses.
2016 | Banks move debt recovery tribunal, which restrains Mallya from accessing Rs 515 crore he was to receive from Diageo as settlement after agreeing to quit.
6. Kingfisher adds to more pain
Over 1,500 staffers, still on the firm's payrolls after it stopped operation, not paid? On March 5, employees write an open letter to Mallya, saying his 'heart is impure' and he has blood on his hands. They seek PM Narendra Modi's help to get their dues.
7. Mallya's pearls of wisdom
The only regret is Kingfisher Airlines is not flying today when the oil price is so low.
The past few days have witnessed a near hysterical campaign in the media directed against me. All I can say is I hope some sobriety and sense will prevail and truth will not be held hostage to TRPs.
8. Did he say he was broke?
Mallya owns homes in Trump Towers, New York City, and in San Francisco. Game resort in South Africa. A beachfront villa in Goa. He also has a fleet of over 200 luxury vintage cars, a 95m "mega yacht" with a helipad, a Gulfstream private jet.

  NASDAQ's Crack Will Rattle Global Equities During the week, the confidence of the bulls got shattered when tech-focused US companies crashed rattling the entire financial markets. Nasdaq's crash does not look like a normal correction but seems like a bigger downward spiral unfolding after valuations sky-rocketed. Given that US elections are only 52 days away, it seems unlikely that US markets will make fresh highs again and there is every likelihood that selling pressure may continue even in broader markets. Crude oil too has given up most of its gains and prices are below USD 40 per barrel on expectations of lower demand going ahead which suggests that global recovery might take longer than earlier anticipated. In contrast surprisingly, gold's move is not hinting at any major crash in the financial markets, given that gold prices consolidated and remained steady even when Nasdaq plummeted. One of the important ways to analyze the psyche of an investor is by measuring mut...
