NEW DELHI -- India's government put the entire stake in Air India on the market Monday, as New Delhi makes another attempt to privatize the money-losing flag carrier.

Bids for Air India, wholly owned by the state, will be accepted through March 17. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government placed 76% of the airline up for auction in 2018, but no company expressed interest.
