Govt to drastically scale down disinvestment target in FY17: Assocham

29 Jan 2016 Evaluate

Industry chamber Assocham has said that the government is likely to drastically scale down the targets for realization of resources from PSU stake sale for 2016-17, from the one set for the current fiscal as markets expected to stay in subdued mood even in the next fiscal. Assocham has said that with the odds stacked against the equity market in 2016 and the world economic prospects looking even grimmer, there is less hope of a recovery in the financial markets.

The industry body further stated that the disinvestment targets have gone completely haywire under successive governments and added that either they have been doing a mere academic budget-making exercise or getting them completely wrong.

In the current fiscal, the government had budgeted to collect Rs 69,500 crore through PSU disinvestment, but volatility in the market have forced it to delay stake sale plans. So far the government has been able to mop up just Rs 12,700 crore through stake sale in four PSU. Assocham expects the government to raise another Rs 2,000-3,000 crore in the remaining months of this fiscal from PSU stake sale with a shortfall of at least Rs 55,000 crore with regard to disinvestment target of 2015-16.

The government has missed its disinvestment target for four consecutive financial years. Assocham pointed that in 2013-14, the government has raised Rs 15,819 crore against the target of Rs 40,000 crore. In 2014-15 it raised Rs 24,277 crore against the target of Rs 36,925 crore.
