Mumbai: National carrier Air India Ltd, which has asked the central government to revive its equity infusion after its sale plans stalled, is seeking ₹2,100 crore from the government to address its immediate operational needs, two senior officials of the airline told Mint.
However, this infusion will only take care of the airline’s short-term capital requirements and the national carrier could have to dip into the market again to raise money for its fleet and other expansion plans, which include future procurement of aircraft on lease.
