Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran admitted on Sunday that Air India's response to the incident of a drunk passenger allegedly urinating on a woman on one of its international flights last year should have been "much swifter".

Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran on Tuesday said the conglomerate does not have any plans to have a 5G offering for consumers. He said the group, which exited its consumer-facing telecom service due to losses a few years ago, has concentrated its efforts on building modern technology infrastructure for 4G and 5G and is also investing in 6G. "On the 5G, we don't have plans for getting into consumer business. We have exited that business," Chandrasekaran said at the 'Lokmat Maharashtrian of Year 2022' award ceremony here. He said the technology being built by the group companies is fully indigenous, and will be tested first for being eventually implemented on a large scale. There are already enquiries for its offerings, he added. Asked about the group's plans to consolidate four airlines in its portfolio, Chandrasekaran said it wants to create a single airline with two platforms -- a full-service carrier and a low cost carrier (LCC).
