New Delhi: Kicking off PSU reforms, NITI Aayog has submitted to the Prime Minister’s Office a roadmap for closure and strategic sale of government stake in some public sector units.
“NITI Aayog has has submitted two separate lists of state-run companies, one comprising of sick PSUs which may be closed down and the other a list of firms which should be privatised,” a source told PTI.
Under the roadmap, the Aayog dealt with two sets of issues — one pertains to decision regarding sick firms, while the second is disinvestment, or strategic sale where government wants to reduce its stake. The government has set a disinvestment target of Rs 56,500 crore for this fiscal.
