News, Business

New Delhi: The government expects to complete the privatisation of Air India by year-end and the winning bidder is likely to be known by the end of June, Union minister Jayant Sinha said today.

The debt-laden carrier, which is staying afloat on taxpayers' money, would be put up for sale as "four different entities", while private players can have at least 51 per cent stake in the airline.
