According to Times Now, Maran left the Prime Minister's residence 7 Race Course Road, where the meeting was being held, soon after the meeting ended.
Meanwhile, opposition leader Arun Jaitley said that Maran has run out of options and he should quit. He further added that the Prime Minister cannot look away after the developments in connection with the 2G scam.
AIADMK too has said that there is no use expecting Maran to take responsibility and Prime Minister should simply drop him from the Cabinet.
Sources suggest that Maran's party is not in a position to defend him and feels he can defend himself best.
Earlier on Wednesday, the CBI told the Supreme Court that its preliminary inquiry into the allegation of Sivasankaran, a serial entrepreneur known as Siva in business circles, suggested that Maran starved Aircel of new licences to bully him into selling out.
Sources tell Times Now that the government is mulling over options of Maran's fate. Congress sources said that if an FIR is filed against Maran then his position will become untenable.
Dayanidhi Maran hold the position of textiles minister.

Signalling a stepped-up campaign against Uttar Pradesh's Mayawati government, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday morning reached Bhatta-Parsaul in Greater Noida and met families of farmers.
Rahul met farmers and his agenda was to motivate all the villagers residing in the villages of Yamuna Expressway to attend the Kisan Mahapanchayat that is scheduled for July 9 in Aligarh and to make it a huge success.
Rahul said, "I have started this yatra. I have started it from Bhatta and will go to all villages and see what is happening to ascertain your views on the new land acquisition policy of the Uttar Pradesh government."
The Kisan Mahapanchayat is expected to raise issues of farmers, including land acquisition. Rahul Gandhi, once again, caught the administration off guard and reached Bhatta-Parsaul at around 6 am in the morning.
Upset over the another visit of Rahul Gandhi in Bhatta-Parsaul without informing the authorities, the district administration is set to shoot a letter asking him to inform about his visits.
Speaking to TOI, Gautambudh Nagar district magistrate Hridyesh Kumar said that it is ones democratic right to visit anywhere in India, but if leaders like Rahul Gandhi undertake tour of a district without informing the authorities it can lead to law and order problem.
"Rahul's visit can disturb law and order and it could be a life threat to him also. If the district administration would have been informed, we could have managed his visit properly but, unfortunately, Rahul again did not inform the district administration.
"We will hold a meeting and discuss all angles after which we will send a letter to him asking him to inform Gautambudh Nagar district administration before undertaking a tour of the district," the district magistrate said.
Congress had earlier planned to hold a rally in Bhatta-Parsaul village in Greater Noida - the epicenter of protest by farmers in May over acquisition of their land - but had to shift the venue to Aligarh.
Kumar further said, "Police officials and a team led by additional district magistrate tracked Rahul Gandhi's visit the moment they came to know. Till the time he was in the district, we provided him with adequate security."
A senior police official said that elections in Uttar Pradesh are round the corner and Rahul may undertake visits to the district in the future as well.
"Rahul began his tour by first reaching Parsaul. He then went to Bhatta and met the villagers following which he went to Acchepur, Rustampur and Bhaipur. He is expected to reach Agra via Tappal," said a district administration official, assisting him.
In a major embarrassment to Uttar Pradesh government in the midst of ongoing farmers agitation over land acquisition, Rahul Gandhi on May 11 sneaked into Bhatta-Parsaul village in Greater Noida and sat on dharna along with the villagers and announced he would not move out until his three demands were conceded by the UP government.
