\nThe Hotel Corporation of India (HCI) is a public sector undertaking that was historically a subsidiary of Air India. As Air India was under the administrative control of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, matters related to HCI were also primarily concerned with the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– HCI operates hotels like Centaur Hotels. These were primarily aimed at supporting Air India’s operations and passenger needs.
\n– The Ministry of Civil Aviation oversees air transport, airports, and associated services, which included Air India and its subsidiaries like HCI before privatization.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Air India was privatized in 2022 and is now under the Tata Group. However, some assets like HCI hotels were transferred to a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the Ministry of Civil Aviation for eventual divestment. The question likely pertains to the traditional administrative setup before these recent changes.
