An online auction of Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher House in Mumbai, opened and closed today without any bidders.

The prime property Kingfisher House, situated near the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, measures around 17,000 sq feet was being auctioned with a base price of Rs 150 crore. A banner inviting bids for the e-auction was put up outside the building.

The auction was initiated by a consortium of banks led by the State Bank of India in a bid to recover part of the Rs 6,963 crore debt due from the now grounded Kingfisher Airlines.

The property was taken over in February 2015 by a consortium of 17 banks lead by State Bank of India in a bid to recover Rs 9,000 crore loan given to the airlines.

Besides, e-auction has been initiated for selling nine high-end cars like two Honda City EXi, a Honda Civic, two Toyota Camry, a Toyota Innova, a Toyota Corolla, a Hyundai Elantra and a Hyundai Santro Zip.

Mallya owes around Rs 9,000 crore to SBI and a consortium of 17 Indian banks and the Kingfisher House was acquired by SBI a year ago in a bid to recover its dues from the defaulter Mallya, who is currently abroad.

Recently, the Enforcement Directorate registered a money laundering case against Mallya and others based on a CBI FIR registered last year.
