"The total realization of Rs. 21,432.38 crore, by end-November 2016 through CPSEs' disinvestment receipts, constitutes around 59.53 per cent of the budgeted target of Rs. 36,000 crore (CPSEs' disinvestment)," a Finance Ministry release said.
"During the current financial year 2016-17, the government has so far...
realized Rs. 23,528.73 crore, which includes Rs. 21,432.38 crore through minority stake sale in 14 CPSEs and Rs. 2096.35 crore through strategic disinvestment," which involves reducing government shareholding in the company to below 50 per cent, transferring, thereby, management control, the statement said.
The disinvestment target for the current financial year has been estimated at Rs. 56,500 crore, comprising Rs. 36,000 crore from disinvestment of CPSEs and Rs. 20,500 crore from strategic disinvestment.
