India Exceeds Disinvestment Target, Plans Continued Asset Monetisation
The Indian government has surpassed its budgeted disinvestment target for the current fiscal year, with collections exceeding the budget estimate due to stake sales including Life Insurance Corporation and the anticipated IDBI Bank sale. The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) plans to continue asset monetisation through offers for sale, stake reductions in public-sector banks, and infrastructure investment trusts. These efforts aim to meet regulatory norms and expand public participation in government-owned entities.
