Referring to his Budget Speech, Jaitley said that he had announced listing of a large number of PSUs on the stock exchanges.
“So, PSUs which are not listed, will now be going into the stock exchange…(and) once they go into stock exchange again will necessarily entail disinvestment of each one of them, and some of them are huge,” the Finance Minister said.
In his Budget speech on February 1, the Finance Minister had also said that the government will put in place a revised mechanism and procedure to ensure time-bound listing of identified CPSEs as listing will foster greater public accountability and unlock their true value.
