The Government has identified more PSUs to be disinvested next financial year. ” We will identify 8-10 public sector firms for the next fiscal” is the reported statement of a finance ministry spokesman.
The PSUs targetted are Cochin Ship Yard, AMMTC, RINL, NALCO, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, Bharat Electronics Limited, Container Corporation of India, Power Finance Corporation and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited etc. The decision of the National Co-ordination Commitee of Public Sector Trade Unions to observe Anti-Disinvestment Day on 1st Decemmber 2010 is very timely and apt.
