The Amit Shah-led committee, in its first meeting, did not take any decision on divestment of Air India and a second meeting will be held soon to take the issue of divestment forward. “First meeting took place. It was a very productive meeting. We are going to take all decisions that have to be taken in a defined period of time,” aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri told reporters after the meeting. “Process of divestment of Air India is truly under way. Second meeting of the group of ministers soon,” Puri further said. The meeting, which was attended by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, commerce and railway minister Piyush Goyal, discusses issues related to the divestment of almost 100% stake in the national carrier.
