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.
