India is considering inviting expressions of interest to sell Air India Ltd. by the end of next month as the government aims to complete the transaction this year, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The government will conduct roadshows as well as be open to meet prospective buyers even before the expressions of interest are sought, the people said, declining to be identified as the discussions are private. The process will likely allow the bidders to look at the accounts of the airline except for some portions that are confidential and also see the share purchase agreement, they said without providing details.
