From Maharaja to Tata: Air India’s ₹18,000 Cr Transformation Takes Flight

Three years after the Indian government sold Air India to the Tata Group for ₹18,000 crore, questions about who owns the airline’s aircraft have resurfaced following the tragic June 12 crash of a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner near Ahmedabad. The aircraft, bound for London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 241 people and prompting a high-level investigation.

 

Key Highlights:

A multi-disciplinary committee led by the Union Home Secretary is investigating the incident.

This tragic event has reignited public interest in Air India’s ownership and operational oversight, especially as the Tata Group works to modernize the airline’s fleet and safety protocols.
