NEW DELHI: The entire country’s eyes are on the Tata Group and Air India waiting to see what they will achieve together, Tata Sons Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran told the carrier’s employees in his first communique after taking over the airline on Thursday. The Indian government on Thursday officially handed over Air India to the Tata Group after nearly 69 years.
Following a competitive bidding process, the government had on October 8 last year sold Air India to Talace Private Limited, a subsidiary of the Tata Group’s holding company, for Rs 18,000 crore.
