The ministerial panel on Air India’s privatisation met today to discuss and approve the winning bid for Air India. ET was the first to report last week that the committee headed by home minister Amit Shah is empowered to clear the Air India divestment. The other members of the panel are finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, commerce minister Piyush Goyal and aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
The long-awaited Air India divestment is being heralded as one of the biggest reforms by the Narendra Modi government. The earlier attempt in 2018 didn’t find any takers.
