Reuters Market Eye - (Corrects lede to say shares closed 4.8 percent lower)
Jet Airways India Ltd shares close 4.8 percent lower after ICRA downgrades 32.10 billion rupees ($531 million) of the carrier's long-term debt to "D" from "BB."
Instruments with 'D' rating are in default or are expected to be in default soon, as per ICRA rating scale.
"The ratings revision reflects delays in debt servicing by the company," ICRA says. (http://bit.ly/1p7n0vB)
