Singapore Airlines, which owns a part of Air India, says Air India is making good progress in improving its services and operations.
However, Air India still faces some big problems like the value of the Indian rupee going down and difficulties in getting supplies.
Singapore Airlines is happy with Air India's improvements but will think carefully before giving more money to Air India if asked.
They also said they won't reduce the value of their investment in Air India.
Singapore Airlines sees tangible progress in Air India's transformation.
Air India faces challenges like the depreciation of the Indian rupee and supply chain disruptions.
SIA's 25.1% stake in Air India remains a key part of its long-term strategy.
SIA's board will evaluate any future request for additional capital from Air India.
