The coronavirus epidemic is taking a toll on Air India’s divestment, with the government setting June 30 as the last date for Expression of Interest from interested bidders (IBs). The IBs were earlier supposed to submit their EoI by 5 pm on April 30. The decision to extend the last date has been done as some of the IBs sought an extension, the government website says.
Similarly, the last date for intimation of Qualified Interested bidders (QIB) has also been shifted to July 14. Earlier, the government was planning to intimate the QIB by May 14. “Further changes with respect to the Important Dates, if any, will be communicated to the Interested Bidders subsequently,” the corrigendum says.
