• Disinvestments process– Already listed profitable CPSEs (not meeting mandatory shareholding of 10%) are
to be made compliant by ‘Offer for Sale’ by Government or by the CPSEs through issue of fresh shares or a combination of both
– Unlisted CPSEs with no accumulated losses and having earned net profit in three preceding consecutive years are to be listed
– Follow-on public offers would be considered taking into consideration the needs for capital investment of CPSE, on a case by case basis, and Government could simultaneously or independently offer a portion of its equity shareholding
– In all cases of disinvestment, the Government would retain at least 51% equity and the management control
– All cases of disinvestment are to be decided on a case by case basis– The Department of Disinvestment is to identify CPSEs in consultation with
respective administrative Ministries and submit proposal to Government in cases requiring Offer for Sale of Government equity

HR issues
• Issues start with the announcement of disinvestment
• Employee raised point– BALCO was profit making company– Company had huge capital of Rs 500 cr– It was the only PSU that paid it’s 50% equity– Government should not jeoparadise the feature of
workers
HR issues
• Government replay– In late 1990’s only 50% of BALCO profit had been
accounting for operating profit– Other 50% of income due to interest income from
fixed deposits– BALCO was running on outdated technology– Due to high international aluminum price they are
making profit
Main HR issues
• In Feb 2001 union filed petitions with DCA and MRTPC• Petitions contain
– Fixation of reserve price before the start of disinvestment process
– Valuation of company by GOI– Non-settlement of pending dues by many of foreign and
domestic parties– Without valuation of assets of BALCO on fair market value
• They ignored new cold rolling project worth of Rs 184 cr• They ignored korba plant, bidhanbag plant, land, quarters, and
buildings worth of Rs 800 cr
Continoue
• Opposition said – Worth of company at over Rs 2900 cr against
disinvestment price of Rs 551 cr– Valuation of BALCO faulty– Company’s captive power pant alone could fatch
Rs 1050 cr
