Competition Commission of India on Tuesday said it has approved the proposed acquisition of the entire shareholding of AirAsia India Ltd by Air India Ltd.
The proposed combination envisages the acquisition of the entire equity share capital of AirAsia (India) Pvt. Ltd. by Air India Ltd. (AIL), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt. Ltd. (TSPL), a notice issued by the fair trade regulator said.
AirAsia India is a joint venture between TSPL and Air Asia Investment Limited (AAIL), with TSPL presently holding 83.67% and AAIL owning a 16.33% stake.
AIL, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Air India Express Limited (AIXL), is primarily engaged in the business of providing domestic scheduled air passenger transport service, international scheduled air passenger transport service, air cargo transport services, and charter flight services in India.
AirAsia India, which started flying in June 2014, offers scheduled air passenger transport, air cargo transport and charter flight services in the country. It does not have international operations.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Competition Commission of India said it has approved the acquisition of the entire shareholding in Air Asia India by Air India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons.
Full-service carrier Air India and its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express were acquired by Talace Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons Private Ltd, last year.
Besides, Tatas operate the full-service airline Vistara in a joint venture with Singapore Airlines. Tatas took over Air India and Air India Express in January this year. In October 2021, Tatas emerged as the winning bidder for loss-making Air India. It offered a bid of ₹18,000 crore, comprising cash payment of ₹2,700 crore and taking over the carrier’s debt worth ₹15,300 crore.
Deals beyond a certain threshold require the approval of CCI, which works to foster competition as well as curb anti-competitive practices in the marketplace.
