The SEBI announcement on Thursday to bring down government holdings from the current 90 per cent to 75 per cent will not only revive the primary markets, it will also add up government coffers. SEBI has asked PSUs to bring down their holdings over the next three years.
We looked at the companies where the government holdings is above 75 per cent necessitating them to dilute their holdings (See: Stake sales on anvil). Collectively these listed companies will have to dilute around ₹61,000 crore assuming their current valuations and 11 per cent stake sale needed to bring down their holdings to 75 per cent. Interestingly, one single company; Coal India accounts for more than 50 per cent of this huge sum.
