Meanwhile, Government has shortlisted about a dozen PSUs including IOC, National Fertilizers, MMTC, Hindustan Copper and ITDC for stake sale to achieve the current fiscal’s disinvestment target of Rs 41,000 crore.
The Department of Disinvestment plans to divest 5-15 per cent government stake in these state-owned companies, and has already floated a draft Cabinet note to seek nod for stake sales in certain PSUs, sources said. As per the roadmap, 10 per cent stake each would be diluted in Engineers India Ltd (EIL), NALCO, NMDC and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC).
As much as 15 per cent stake would be up for sale in National Fertilizers Ltd (NFL), Hindustan Copper Ltd (HCL), India Tourism and Development Corp (ITDC), State Trading Corp (STC) and MMTC,
