NEW DELHI -- Plans to privatize state-owned flagship carrier Air India were already in doubt even before the new coronavirus outbreak wreaked havoc on the travel industry. Now, the government may have to knock down the price of the airline, some say.
India ordered a 21-day nationwide lockdown in late March, following similar actions across Europe and some parts of America as the virus continues to spread. Air travel has also plunged over the last few weeks, leaving Air India's privatization plans in disarray.
