Centre plans buybacks, OFS in PSUs for FY23 goal
Mint Mumbai|February 15, 2023
The government is looking at buybacks and offer-for-sale (OFS) of central public sector enterprises as potential options to meet the current year's disinvestment target as uncertain market conditions and legal hurdles pose challenges to ongoing privatization transactions.

Centre plans buybacks, OFS in PSUs for FY23 goal

"All of the ongoing strategic transactions will spill over to the next financial year... buybacks, some OFS where there is room for meeting minimum public shareholding norms, can be considered," a senior official said, asking not to be named.

OFS enables existing company shareholders to sell their shares to the public through an exchange in a fair and transparent manner, while buybacks allow re-purchase by a company of its shares from its shareholders. Buybacks are more feasible since the government received ₹497 crore from only one instance of share buyback by GAIL (India) Ltd last year. CPSE stocks outperformed the Sensex in 2021 and 2022, as per a Bank of Baroda study on disinvestment.
