Infrastructure lender, PTC India Financial Services (PFS) is planning to mop up Rs 50 crore from sale of over 16% stake in the country’s largest power bourse, Indian Energy Exchange (IEX). At present, the company holds 21.12% stake in the power exchange and will divest more than 16% to one or more overseas players. The sale is expected to be complete by end of December.
