The government has extended the deadline for submitting bids for Air India Ltd to 30 June. The earlier deadline to submit expressions of interest (EoI) for the national carrier was 30 April.
The latest decision by the government comes amid the lockdown to contain the covid-19 outbreak, which has severely hurt the economy.
The changes were made following requests from interested bidders in view of the prevailing situation arising out of the pandemic outbreak, the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) said in a notification.
