Air India is expected to be handed over to the Tata Group on Thursday. The handing over will culminate the over two-decade-long journey to privatise the national carrier.
The first such attempt was made in 2001. That was when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was prime minister. But the bid was not successful.
Since then, the governments at the Centre kept trying to disinvest their stake in the national carrier but success finally came in October 2021.
