The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) will consider a proposal from Singapore Airlines to set up an airline in the country in a joint venture with the Tata Group on October 18, according to the regulator's website.

Tata and Singapore Airlines plan to form a full-service airline based in New Delhi, the companies said last month. The two will initially invest a combined $100 million to start the carrier, with Tata Sons owning 51% and Singapore Airlines the rest.
