Axis Capital Sees Rs 6.6 Lakh Crore PSU Divestments Easing FPI Outflows and Supporting Fiscal Goals
Axis Capital suggests that accelerating government divestments of public sector undertakings (PSUs) by 15% over three years could raise about Rs 6.6 lakh crore, expand India's investable equity pool, and ease valuation pressures. This move may support fiscal consolidation and reduce foreign portfolio investor (FPI) outflows by increasing market liquidity and free float. Despite strong emerging market performance, FPIs have sold Indian equities due to high valuations and slower earnings growth, highlighting the need to address market supply alongside demand.
