Air India has recorded a significant financial setback, reporting an annual loss of more than Rs 22,000 crore for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The loss is higher than earlier internal estimates, highlighting the challenges the airline faced throughout the year, reported IANS.

The airline is currently in discussions with its key shareholders to secure additional funding. While the exact amount of capital infusion is not yet decided, reports suggest that the expected support may still fall short of what the airline needs.
