CCI approves Air India-Vistara merger, subject to certain conditions
The merger of Air India and Vistara was approved by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Friday, allowing the Tata group to form a single, full-service carrier.
“CCI has approved the merger of Tata SIA Airlines into Air India, and acquisition of certain shareholdings by Singapore Airlines in Air India subject to compliance of voluntary commitments offered by the parties,” the regulator said in a statement on X.
The CCI did not say what kind of “voluntary commitments” have Air India and Vistara given. However, the CCI in June issued a notice to Air India asking why its proposed merger with Vistara should not be probed over concerns about competition in the aviation market.
