Air India's Real Estate Sell-Off Fails to Take Flight
Real Estate Pune:Air India Ltd, the state-run national carrier, has failed to generate significant interest in its latest bid to sell its real estate assets. Despite putting up 56 properties for sale in April, the airline has managed to sell less than 10 of them, according to two people directly aware of the development.

The properties, mostly residential units, had a reserve price ranging from ₹16 lakh to ₹8 crore and were located in major cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata. One of the properties up for sale was a plot with 14 flats, totaling 2,030 sq. m in Pali Hill, an upscale neighborhood in Mumbai.

The lack of interest in Air India's real estate assets is a blow to the airline, which is struggling to stay afloat. The airline has been making losses for several years and is looking for ways to raise capital to stay operational. The sale of real estate assets was seen as a way to generate some much-needed funds.
