Shares of aviation companies such as Jet Airways (India) and SpiceJet have gained up to 6% on the bourses on media reports that the aviation ministry may seek infra status for airlines.

Among individual stocks, Jet Airways has rallied 6% to Rs 427 on BSE. The stock hit a high of Rs 429, its highest level since October 2013. Since November 25, 2014, the stock rallied 74% from Rs 245, due to falling crude oil prices.

Meanwhile, the SpiceJet clarified that the company is not under a "Cash-and-Carry" payment mode with Airport Authority of India as wrongly reported in certain sections of the media.
