The Narendra Modi government on Wednesday cleared 11.36% stake sale in NHPC, that could fetch over Rs 2,800 crore to the exchequer.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has cleared sale of government's 11.36% in NHPC through an Offer For Sale (OFS), sources said.
At the current market price of Rs 22.40 a piece, sale of 11.36% or 125.76 crore shares would fetch over Rs 2,800 crore to the exchequer.
Government holds 85.96% stake in NHPC. The stake sale would help the company comply with the minimum 25 per cent public shareholding norm of market regulator Sebi.
The disinvestment department has already selected three merchant bankers -- Edelweiss Financial, IDFC Capital and HSBC Securities-- for managing the NHPC stake sale.
In the current fiscal, the government plans to mop up Rs 43,425 crore from selling its stakes in PSUs.
