IndiGo founder Rahul Bhatia said an Adani-backed airline could create conflicts because the group operates Delhi and Mumbai airports. The government is reportedly holding preliminary discussions on easing airport-operator ownership restrictions, with no formal proposal yet.
IndiGo founder Rahul Bhatia warned that allowing Adani Group, operator of Delhi and Mumbai airports, to launch an airline could create conflicts of interest. The government is informally discussing possible changes to airport-operator ownership restrictions.
