Mumbai: India's largest private airlines Jet Airways inked a deal to take over its smaller rival Air Sahara for 
14.5 billion ($338 million*), making it the largest air operator in the Indian domestic aviation sector.

Sources said the renewed valuation of the Air Sahara has been pegged at 20.50 billion, of which 6 billion is expected to be liabilities and arrears.
