Buoyant by the response of foreign investors to public sector units (PSU) stake sale, the government is expected to raise the disinvestment target to Rs 40,000 crore in the next fiscal by selling equity shares of 20 PSU companies. The Department of Disinvestment (DoD), the nodal department for stake sales in PSUs, has identified 20 PSU companies for minority stake sale in the 2013-14 fiscal.
Further, it is reported that disinvestment plan for next fiscal is already in progress for lining up companies for minority stake sale in the next fiscal and DoD officials are meeting the administrative ministries and company officials for executing it on time. The companies which have been identified for disinvestment next fiscal include Coal India, Indian Oil, PGCIL, NHPC, Hindustan Copper (HCL), National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) and THDC among others. Apart from this, Cabinet approval has already been accorded for disinvestment in Neyveli Lignite, BHEL and Hindustan Aeronautics.
Moreover, the government expects that an early start to divestment process in next fiscal would help in garnering higher funds. So far this fiscal, the government has raised only Rs 21,500 crore as against the target of Rs 30,000 crore and is expected to raise Rs 27,000 crore by the end of this fiscal.
