12 Jan 2017 Evaluate

Finance Ministry has said that the government garnered Rs 23,500 crore by divesting its stakes in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) so far in the current fiscal against the projected disinvestment target of Rs 56,500 crore for the entire fiscal. Ministry also said that the government is confident of raising Rs 45,000-50,000 crore from stake sales in state-run firms in 2016-17 and has already drawn up plans to ensure that it inches closer to the target.

Ministry has said that buyback of shares undertaken for the first time by central public sector enterprises for disinvestment which fetched Rs 15,000 crore so far in the current fiscal. It further said that they have done minority stake sale and buyback this time and they have a strong pipeline of 40-odd listed companies. It added that government has now moved to OFS (offer for sale) model from FPO (follow-on public offer) model. Thus, there is no loss to the government and exchange-traded fund (ETF) was one of the instruments which helped them to do that.

Out of the Rs 56,500 crore target for 2016-17, Rs 36,000 was to be raised from minority stake sales and Rs 20,500 crore from strategic stake sales. This was lower than the Rs 69,500 crore target set for the previous year. So far, the government has raised Rs 23,528.7 crore, which includes Rs 21,432.4 crore through minority stake sale in 14 state firms and Rs 2,096.3 crore through strategic disinvestment. The total realisation of Rs 21,432.4 crore by November 2016 through CPSEs' disinvestment receipts, constitutes around 60% of the budgeted target of Rs 36,000 crore to be raised from minority stake sales.
