DIPAM to set up Asset Monetisation cell to monetise CPSE’s non-core assets

05 Mar 2019 Evaluate

The Ministry of Finance is planning to set up 'Asset Monetisation cell' in the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) to expedite the monetisation of non-core assets of central public sector undertakings (CPSEs), which include mainly land and building. The cell will also deal with cases related to the sale of immovable enemy property, which refers to the assets left behind by people who migrated to Pakistan or China and are no longer citizens of India. The DIPAM will appoint transaction advisors and valuers for the assets which are proposed to be sold. It would be seeking a director level officer from the personnel department to man the cell.

Niti Aayog has been tasked with drawing up a list of non-core assets of various CPSEs, both healthy and sick ones, as a first step towards finance ministry's plan to monetise such assets and unlock value to shareholders. The report of Niti Aayog will be taken up by the alternative mechanism on disinvestment, headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, following which the CPSE and the respective administrative ministry will further proceed with the monetisation process.

Recently, the Union Cabinet approved laying down of institutional framework for monetisation of identified non-core assets, especially land and building, of the CPSEs under strategic disinvestment and immovable enemy property under the custody of Custodian of Enemy Property for India (CEPI). It also includes sale of non-core assets of any other CPSEs after approval of competent authority or the administrative ministry, and sale of such assets of sick or loss making CPSE.
