The NITI Aayog is preparing a fresh list of state-owned firms for divestment, its CEO Amitabh Kant said on Wednesday, February 21.
"NITI Aayog has already recommended 40 PSUs for privatization and has prepared four reports. We are working on a fifth report," he told reporters, adding that the think tank will also prepare sixth and seventh reports on the issue.
With the government keen on strategic sale of sick and loss-making state-owned firms, NITI Aayog was earlier entrusted with the task of reviewing the functioning of PSUs and suggesting those that can be privatized. The Aayog has already recommended strategic divestment of 40 sick public sector units, including Air India.
