Mr Puri added that Air India is under a debt trap due to accumulated debt of around Rs 60,000 crore.After failing to sell majority stake in Air India in 2018, the government has worked on critical areas this time around to make the disinvestment bid more attractive to the prospective bidder, Mr Puri said.
