Questions : Consider the following statements regarding “Air India”:
  1. Air India was nationalized in the early 1960s
  2. 100% FDI is allowed in Air India by foreign entities
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

(a) (i) only

(b) Both (i) & (ii)

(c) (ii) only

(d) Neither (i) nor (ii)

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Air India (Tata Airlines) was founded by J.R.D. Tata in 1932. In 1953, the Government of India passed the Air Corporations Act and purchased a majority stake (nationalized) in the carrier from Tata Sons though its founder J. R. D. Tata

As per the present FDI Policy, 100% FDI is permitted in "scheduled Air Transport Service/Domestic Scheduled Passenger Airline".

However, for Air India, as per the present policy, foreign investment (FDI/FPI) in Air India, including that of foreign Airline(s) shall not exceed 49%, subject to the condition that substantial ownership and effective control of Air India shall continue to be vested in Indian Nationals.

Now cabinet in early March 2020 approved changes in the FDI policy specific to Air India only where NRIs (who are Indian Nationals either through Individuals or through their companies) will be allowed to own 100% in Air India and that too under automatic route.

So Foreign Airlines (treated as Foreign Nationals) will still be allowed to own only 49% of Air India.
