Air India will be 100% disinvested , says Puri
Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday asserted Air India will be “100 per cent disinvested”, saying the choice is only between disinvestment and closing down the airline company.
The Minister confirmed that the Government is determined and there is no hesitation in taking the disinvestment decision. The Minister further stated the Government is not planning to curtail flight services further amid the second wave of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). However, plans of making all services functional from April 1 have been postponed amid a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases.
“We’ve decided that Air India will be 100% disinvested. Choice isn’t between disinvestment and non-disinvestment, it’s between disinvestment and closing down.
