The Indian government is to sell at least part of its stake in Manganese Ore India Ltd (Moil)as part of a divestment to raise over Rs11 billion.
The government will also sell at least some of its stakes in five public sector companies including Rail India Technical and Economic Services (Rites), Cochin Ship Yard, Telecommunications Consultants India, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) and Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN). The government made the announcement in its interim budget for the next fiscal year starting in April.
Even as the steel ministry has received proposals for disinvestment in RINL and Moil from the government, it has not yet worked out the technicalities for it.“The process for disinvestments in the two companies is underway. However, we have not yet decided how to go about it,” a senior steel ministry official said, adding that merchant bankers have been brought in to prepare a road map for disinvestment.
As of now, the government holds a 100% stake in Mini-Ratna PSUs RINL and Moil. The PSUs work under the administrative control of the steel ministry.
