Budget 2017: Can Centre deliver on its disinvestment promise?
Sanjeev Prasad, Suvodeep Rakshit , Sunita Baldawa and Anindya Bhowmik of Kotak Institutional Equities wrote, “We expect the government to continue to focus on divestment of its stakes in various companies to bolster its overall revenues. The divestment figure will be crucial as tax revenues may not be entirely supportive of likely higher capital expenditure as well as revenue expenditure.”
However, since last six years, Centre has failed to achieve its divestment targets. Photo: IANS
