Qatar keen on IndiGo stake, overlooks Air India

Qatar Airways is interested in a stake in budget carrier IndiGo but wants to wait till the promoters sort out their differences.

However, it has no plans to participate in the divestment process of Air India even as the government plans to hold roadshows in Singapore and London to evince investors interest in the national carrier.

Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said the Doha-based airline is interested in investing in IndiGo, but only after the issues between the promoters are resolved.

The Qatar Air chief was speaking at an event where a one-way codeshare agreement was signed between Qatar Airways and IndiGo.
