Overview

  • The Finance Ministry reported Monday that FY2025-26 collections from disinvestment and asset monetisation totalled Rs 45,306.05 crore, above the Revised Estimate of Rs 33,837 crore.
  • The FY26 total comprised Rs 16,885.56 crore from disinvestment and Rs 28,420.49 crore from asset monetisation, as disclosed by Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary.
  • For FY2026-27 the government has set a Miscellaneous Capital Receipts target of Rs 80,000 crore and has already realised Rs 59,083 crore, including about Rs 6,367 crore from asset monetisation.
  • Roughly Rs 52,716 crore of the early FY27 disinvestment proceeds came from Offer-for-Sale transactions in a defined list of central PSUs — including Coal India, LIC, NHPC, NLC India, GIC, IRFC, Central Bank of India and Cochin Shipyard — plus a strategic sale of Indian Medicines Pharmaceutical Corporation Ltd.
  • A live strategic-sale process for IDBI Bank names Fairfax and Emirates NBD as reported bidders, and officials note that receipts are highly dependent on the timing of individual transactions and market conditions, which will shape how proceeds are used to fund public projects.
