CNBC-TV18 did not disclose when the block deal would take place.
Gangwal holds a 11.72% stake in the airline he founded in 2006 with Rahul Bhatia, according to latest available exchange data.
Gangwal and his wife, Rekha Gangwal, have reduced their shareholding in the company over the last year, with the latter completely exiting the firm last August.
Their Chinkerpoo Family Trust still holds a 13.49% stake in Interglobe, and is the firm’s biggest shareholder after Bhatia’s Interglobe Enterprises.
