According to the report, PM Modi has himself been personally keeping a close watch on Jet Airways crisis and asked Tata Group to provide as much help in the matter as possible.

Since the government is directly involved in the turmoil that the aviation sector is undergoing, the government may also give some benefits to Tata Group if it rescues the beleaguered airlines, claimed sources close the matter.

This may include some relief on bank loans that have been given to Jet Airways in the past and some relief from the Airport Authority of India on its dues to the Jet.

This will ease the financial burden of the Jet Airways and therefore, will help in its revival.

However, in its reaction, Jet Airways has dubbed all reports indicating a sell-off as untrue, including those of a merger with Tata group-SIA combine. 

On aviation, Modi government has been working not only to boost the regional air connectivity but also to bring the Indian aviation sector at par with global standards. If Jet Airways fails to revive, this will not only hurt the investment sentiments of the sector will also put a question mark on the government's management of the sector.
