New Delhi: The antitrust regulator Competition Commission of India (CCI) has decided to review the merger of Air India and Vistara, which may potentially delay the process.
People aware of the development said the CCI has not given expedited permission to the process and has instead sent a notice to the two airlines, asking why an investigation on the impact of the merger should not be conducted. “The process has moved to phase 2 which will entail more discussion between the parties and the CCI,” an official of the antitrust body said.
