Govt to speed up stake sales programme in PSUs in next three months

15 Dec 2014 Evaluate

In order to meet the set disinvestment target, the government has planned to speed up the stake sales programme in public sector units in the next three months. Concerns over the government’s disinvestment programme and its ability to meet the Rs 63,425 crore target for current fiscal from stake sales in PSUs such as Coal India, ONGC and NHPC among others have begun mounting.

At present, the government shareholding in the Coal India is 89.65 percent and will disinvest 10 percent stake worth around Rs 23,000 crore. Government stake in ONGC stands at 68.94 percent and will disinvest 5 percent stake worth Rs 16,000 crore. Besides these two, 11.36 percent disinvestment in hydro power generator NHPC has also been approved. The government holds 85.96 percent stake in company and expects to garner worth Rs 2,800 crore. The government is also trying to get clarity on the residual stake sales in Hindustan Zinc and Balco that are estimated to raise at least Rs 15,000 crore.

With tax collections registering low growth, proceeds from stake sales are crucial to meet the fiscal deficit target at 4.1 percent of GDP in FY15. Furthermore, the government is likely to take advantage of robust state of domestic stock markets helped by heavy inflow of funds from the foreign institutional investors (FIIs).

The government has been missing its disinvestment target for past five consecutive financial years. In the previous fiscal, 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 and markets conditions. During FY11 and FY12, the government had raised Rs 22,144 crore and Rs 13,894 crore through disinvestment, against the budgeted target of Rs 40,000 crore in each year. In FY13, it had raised Rs 23,956 crore, as against the target of Rs 30,000 crore.
