The document discusses disinvestment in India. It defines disinvestment as the process where the government reduces its equity portion in public sector enterprises by selling shares. The key objectives of disinvestment are to reduce the financial burden on the government and introduce private sector competition and efficiency. The government has used various methods of disinvestment such as public offerings, strategic sales, and asset sales. However, the disinvestment process has faced challenges such as unfavorable market conditions and bureaucratic hurdles. There has been union opposition to recent proposals for disinvestment in public sector companies like BSNL and SAIL.
