Government all set to move ahead with divestment in ONGC and BHEL

14 Feb 2012 Evaluate

With the fiscal deficit crossing 90% of the budget target in nine months, the government is all set to move ahead with divestment in ONGC and BHEL. The modus operandi is likely to be through auction and the government hopes to raise 14,500 crore through it.

An Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) headed by the Finance Minister is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, February 15 to finalise the exact amount of disinvestment and the price. The government wants to offer 5% in ONGC and 10% in BHEL. After the divestment, its holding will come down to 69.14% in ONGC and 62.72% in BHEL. The Disinvestment Department has sent the paper for ONGC stake sale to Finance Minister and a reply is expected within 2-3 days.

The government had set a disinvestment target of Rs 40,000 crore this year, but has been able to raise only a little over Rs 1,145 crore so far. Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued norms allowing promoters to sell stake by way of auction, through a separate window on the BSE and the National Stock Exchange, that has to be completed within a day.
