Railways to Sell Up to 10% Stake in Public Sector Undertakings to Drive ₹2.62 Trillion Monetization Efforts
Railway Ministry Aims to Meet Monetization Target through Offer-for-Sale Transactions
The Ministry of Railways is planning a strategic move to dilute its stakes in several listed railway public sector undertakings. As part of its broader push to meet the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP 2.0) target, the ministry aims to sell 5-10% stakes in six listed companies through offer-for-sale transactions in the fiscal year 2027.
This move is part of a larger effort to meet the ₹2.62 trillion monetization target under NMP 2.0. The ministry is also planning to sell another 2-3% stake in a listed company through the same offer-for-sale transactions.
The exact details of the stake sales, including the names of the companies involved, have not been disclosed. However, the Ministry of Railways' move is seen as a significant step towards meeting its monetization target and unlocking value in its public sector undertakings.
