Prithiviraj Senthil Nathan Comments on Government’s PSU Divestment Strategy Amid Early OFS Momentum
Prithiviraj Senthil Nathan recently shared his views with Moneycontrol on the government’s continued focus on public sector undertaking (PSU) stake sales following a strong start to the fiscal year through multiple Offer for Sale (OFS) transactions.
Commenting on the rationale behind the government’s approach, Prithiviraj noted that the early push on PSU divestments appears to be driven by a combination of fiscal, regulatory and market considerations.
“First, front-loading disinvestment receipts provides greater fiscal flexibility and helps the government mobilise non-tax revenue early in the financial year. Second, several listed PSUs continue to witness strong investor interest and improved valuations, creating a favourable window for stake sales,” he said.
His observations highlight how the government is leveraging favourable market conditions to advance its disinvestment agenda while simultaneously strengthening revenue mobilisation efforts. With PSU valuations remaining robust and investor appetite continuing to be strong, strategic stake sales could play a significant role in supporting the government’s fiscal objectives during the current financial year.
