NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Indian government said it did not receive any expressions of interest in its planned Air India stake sale by the Thursday evening deadline, underlining the challenge it faces in fixing the debt-laden state carrier.

The government had announced a plan in March to divest a 76 percent stake in Air India and offload about $5.1 billion of its debt.
