Disinvestment policy

This refers to the cosmetic changes made in the new disinvestment policy "No make-over for PSUs" (Business Line, January 29). To overcome opposition from the Left parties, the Government has decided to hold 51 per cent in profit-making PSUs and to set up a National Investment Fund (NIF).

The proceeds from the equity sales are to be deposited in the NIF to be monitored by the public sector managers. Already, the CITU has opposed the move. So far, disinvestment in PSUs has brought few positive changes, either for the public sector or for the poor.
