Industrialist Anand Mahindra has welcomed the government's announcement of Tata Sons winning the bid for Air India, saying the disinvestment of the national carrier amounts to a "reset" of the Indian business environment. I may be accused of overstating the importance of this event but I think this divestment amounts to a ‘reset' of the Indian business environment. Yes, the Govt. is dispensing of a cash drain; But it's also renewing faith-after decades-in the potential efficiency of the Pvt.sector https://t.co/iZKgt2L7cD
The Mahindra Group chairman said that with this move, the government is not just dispensing of a cash drain -- the government had been losing nearly Rs 20 crore daily to keep the national carrier flying -- but also renewing its faith in the private sector.
"I may be accused of overstating the importance of this event but I think this divestment amounts to a 'reset' of the Indian business environment. Yes, the Govt. is dispensing of a cash drain; But it's also renewing faith-after decades-in the potential efficiency of the Pvt.sector," Mr Mahindra tweeted, sharing a post by Tata Sons Emeritus Chairman Ratan Tata after the group regained control of Air India after 70 years.
