Disinvestment department recommends strategic sale for non-core PSUs

23 May 2014 Evaluate

The Department of Disinvestment (DoD) is of the view that new government could look at the possibility of strategic sale of state-owned enterprises in the non-core sectors like textiles, petrochemical and transport equipments in order to meet the ambitious disinvestment target of Rs 51,925 crore this fiscal. These views formed part of the suggestions made by the DoD for new government which will assume office on May 26.

The department further noted that move to divest entire stake in the non-strategic public sector units (PSUs) would help the government in realising the true value of the investments made in setting up of these firms.

During the interim budget, the government proposed to mobilise Rs 15,000 crore from the stake sale in HZL and Balco. It presently holds 29.54 percent share in HZL and 49 percent in Bharat Aluminium Company (Balco). Further, the government hoped to garner Rs 36,925 crore from disinvestment in different PSUs in 2014-15. In the previous fiscal year, the Government was able to disinvest only around Rs 16,000 crore as against the set target of Rs 40,000 crore mainly on account of subdued economic conditions.

India Inc had also expressed the need for new government to divest stake in the top 10 cash-rich PSUs to raise around Rs 1 lakh crore, which could have been used to provide much-needed push to economic growth and tide over revenue shortfall. India Inc had highlighted that the new government should take advantage of robust state of domestic stock markets helped by heavy inflow of funds from the foreign institutional investors (FIIs). The disinvestment at high level in cash-rich PSUs will help the new government to improve its revenue, which faces constraint of lower tax earnings because of slowdown in economy.
