The Story in Brief
TMC MP Mahua Moitra has shared a letter on X, dated June 4, that she says shows the Adani Group sought a waiver from the Airports Authority of India to start or invest in a scheduled airline. The letter, addressed to the AAI chairman, reportedly asks for an exemption from a 2006 privatisation agreement clause that bars airport operators from owning airlines.
The letter mentions Adani Defence & Aerospace working on a possible airline and developing regional aircraft with Brazil's Embraer. Adani Enterprises had called similar reports in July "entirely baseless and factually incorrect." Moitra has questioned the contradiction between the letter and the company's denial.
The Indian Opinion
Moitra has released a letter; Adani says airline reports are baseless. The real test is simple: does the June letter exist, and was it sent by an Adani entity? The stock market and the aviation regulator need a clear yes or no. Until then, this is one politician's document against a major group's denial.
