The runner-up company was SpiceJet promoter Ajay Singh, who had also submitted a bid for the airline.
The announcement comes just a day after a report hinted that the government finalised the minimum reserve price for the airline. The minimum reserve price for the national carrier is based on future cash flow projection, brand value and slots in foreign airports.
It has also been reported that Tata Sons’ bid for Air India was Rs 3,000 crore more than the reserve limit set by the government.
