Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, New Delhi, 02nd July, 2026: The government has accelerated its disinvestment and asset monetisation programme in the current financial year, raising nearly 31 per cent of its full-year budgeted target during the first quarter itself.
The April-June period marked the fastest pace of disinvestment in the first quarter of any financial year, with the government launching one offer for sale (OFS) almost every week between mid-May and June to divest stakes in public sector enterprises.
The push comes as the government seeks to strengthen non-tax revenue collections amid mounting expenditure pressures, particularly higher subsidy outgo driven by an increased import bill.
By stepping up disinvestment and asset monetisation, the government aims to mobilise additional resources to support fiscal management while advancing its broader strategy of improving efficiency and unlocking value from public sector assets.
